Well I think she's looking good, nice LST, most definitely a female. Did you switch already? Looks like, those flowers look to be building up.

Whats your setup? Soil, lights, nutes?

Flower is where a lot of problems pop up, and the worst time for them. If we know your setup, we might be able to give you a heads up on what to expect.

just curious: how can you tell she's a female before it shows its sex?
and can you please extend a little on "Flower is where a lot of problems pop up, and the worst time for them." So far I felt that the seedling stage was fragile and risky

this is first week of 12/12
400w cooltube
coco/perlite 50/50
canna coco a+b, rhizotonic, silicon, calmag+epsom salt, cannazym
since switching i started light on GO bio bud
later will start adding molasses and PK13-14

That is a good looking plant - good luck with your grow. I have to ask - Do you think all of the additives are necessary?

thanks! i know they are a lot but from the lots of research i did before, these are the basics the plant needs. and seems to be working for me so far. i wouldn't use anything more, these cover pretty much everything.
from what i read, i am still not totally convinced that molasses would add anything to coco growing but i will give it a try and we'll see

I can't tell sex for certain, but the flowers just look female to me, just based on that photo. It's more a gut feeling, or just my own experience, there's no clear indicators that I can see.

I don't know Coco, so can't personally speak for your nutrients.

Flowering is a major hormonal change and can swing plant needs dramatically. Demand for certain nutrients will rise, this is about the time you start seeing issues with going rootbound, salt buildup, etc.

I'm not trying to worry you. Don't worry, there's no need, it just a matter of knowing what to expect. An experienced Coco grower should be able to help with that. I only know soil.

Molasses is only good for feeding bacteria, so if you aren't managing a micro herd (heh, or rven if you do...) you can pretty safely exclude that one.

I agree about the gut feeling. I have had everything. Males, females, herms. I think the males tend to be a bit stretchier and less bushy at least that i have seen.
