13 Days of 12/12 and no signs of sex yet? (Pics)

Ok i have been under CFL for 2 weeks and no sex yet. I started this outside for 5 weeks and at 9 inches I moved it inside to start the flowering. Since then it has grown to 14 inches in 2 weeks and got very bushy. I dont think there is any light getting in there...There is only one tiny crack of light that can be seen from the outside. Not enough to illuminate the box to stop the plant from flowering. At least i think so? I started it on 15-30-15 fert yesterday so maybe that will get it going. I picked up a 15x magnifier to take a close look at the stems and I see a few single hairs..Like 3 in different areas but they dont look like pistils. I saw a few balls forming at the bud tops but they split into new growth and became fan leaves at the tops...(i was worried) IDK I put some pics up but I dont have a real good camera.

Any advice u guys could give me would be great...

Thanks in advance

I don't think they're males. If anything, wait a bit longer; if you see blatent sacs then I'd start worrying. And you might want to lower your N for flowering!
Peace.

I think your problem may just be that your plant's are getting used to the change in light. I don't care what anyone else says, you can never replace the sun with a man made light source. Not saying there aren't plenty of man made alternatives that will produce quality product, just saying the sun is the perfect light source for plants, and IMO starting pants in the sun and then pulling them indoors , though unlikely to stress plants, may require plants to make internal adjustments to become acclimated to new light source. If you had been fed your whole life on prime rib and lobster, and suddenly McDonalds was all that was available, you might have to get used to this lower quality fare. Just keep growing them and they will flower in their own time. Forget about schedules and let your plants do their own thing.

just give it some time and relax. you may want to get in there and see how lightproof you are since you brought that up as well.

can take up to 3 weeks to show sex, thats when my last plants showed, i was panicking aswell you just have to be patient.

males always show sex first so that may be a good sign that its a girl,I finished 3 plants indoors last year under cfl.s 1 was ready in 8 weeks the other 2 took way longer to ripen so be patient with it thats the hardest part of growing is the waiting

Well I switched my lighting to 150w HPS about 3 days ago. Today I am at 22 days and no signs of flowering. Thinking back I think I have been watering every other day and now I will not water for a while to stress this plant into flowering. I had stresses this plant ( the lights fell on it) a few weeks back so maybe that's why the lapse in showing. It now is growing in a way to suggest its female and with the length of time it has taken I'm hoping I am right.

16,000 Lumens in a 2 by 2 space is enough light to feed her im pretty sure...lol

22 friggin days though...geeez

when the plant was outside, how many hours of direct light was it getting? i'm betting that it wasn't getting more than 14 hours of total illumination. it hasn't really received a signal that autumn is coming. perhaps with the change in light spectrum now that you're running "red" light it'll switch over. was it a clone outside or a seed germinated outside?

It was only getting about 7 direct hrs of sunlight. Then it was in partial shade after that. I didn't have many places I could put it without it being seen. I grew it from seed. Out of 4 seeds this was the only one that came up. I tied the plant up so the lower bud sites would catch up to the top and since my HPS the plant has really responded to the light. Theres prob like 10-12 bud sites where I keep looking to see the pistils but none yet..no hairs. I know I should have just did the whole grow in my cab but I didn't build the cab until I saw I had a good plant going..lol

So is my life....unlucky

okay so you've now given the plant more light than it was getting outside. on the main stem, how many nodes do you have? once the plant has reached the 9th true node and is still developing another pair above it but that's a cluster uptop that you can't really see much inside of unless you tear it apart (don't) but once it has those, down at the 4th and 5th nodes it'll show gender first. typcially if it's female. if it's male it'll show at the very top. what you need is some kind of a stimulant to force into flowering, or just wait. it'll do it naturally. another option is 36 hours of darkness. i've not tried that. whatever you do, don't chop off the apical meristem (very tip) that will delay gender.

Well i topped it a while back so there are 2 main colas. I have to count the nodes but Im seeing alternating nodes now at the tips closest to the light.

What can I use nute wise to force flowering? I have been feeding it 15-30-15 nute for like a week now, every other day. I think I should have not watered so much so now I'm gonna let it dry out for a few days until the fans start to droop a little. Sound like a good plan?

it takes 2+weeks to start flowering on 12/12 from seed anyway.
topping added another week to 3weeks to it.
inside two weeks (from today) you should see some sex.
i wouldn't start adding weird things to try to make it flower.
you can fuck shit up with nutes pretty easy.
adding an hour of darkness wouldn't hurt (11/13).

this is from last week

Its a girl!

Sweet! Congrats

I second this.

It seems like any change you make, mary-jane likes to halt and get used to it before doing anything.
