Hey, are they fem seeds or are you hoping to end up with 1 female at the end?
Im hoping for 2 females obviously! its the first grow ive done with purchased seeds that claim to be 'feminized' so fingers crossed. my previous grows have been bag seed.
All the early signs suggest they are both female, but not 100% yet!

If theyre fem then they should def be females.
And there arent really any signs for sex to look for before being placed into flowering.

Cool.

there is a pic that crops on many marajuana forums/guides that shows a younger plant with pistels/balls etc. i didn't think you could sex before flowering, but assumed they knew best, hence the quote!

its amazing how many people rely on the internet for 100% factual information, when really its mainly a collection of other peoples opinions!!

http://www.internetisshit.org/ makes a good example of this!!

Maybe you can help with another q? or anyone!??

again, from mixed opinions, im confused as to when is best to force? space/height is not an issue, more of a time issue. im on day 28 today and my plants are about 9" tall.

i need to move house on dec 3rd so i was hoping to not have to move them if i can help it. when do you think i should force? some guides suggest not to force til atleast 12" tall, but ed rosenthals book suggests i can do it at 10" based on size of pot. (9")

Thats why i sometimes feel bad giving advice. I know its what everybody said, but Im still not sure if the information is really true. Everybody just passes on what they hear from other people, lots of info isnt true though. Most info isnt hurting the plant, but it might also just be useless.
If you need to be done by dec 3rd I might start flowering now. Then you have 8 weeks to flower.

Thanks man.

dont get me wrong, advise is advise. especially if your a bit rusty, which i am. this is my 3rd grow of only 2-3 plants at a time. my local grow shop wont even give advise for the same reasons!! crazy!! but im grateful for any, and if i get a mixed bag of opinion, i decide which tip sounds the best and jump right in!! i appreciate your advise and everyone that has helped me on here so far! thanks again.

Yepper, at least 4 weeks if not more. I would figure out a way to transport. Very nice looking plants. It would be a waste to harvest them at the end of the month.
