Flowering Question Help Plz

I have 3 plants that are female.. They were all put on 12/12 at the same time.. one plant has marble size buds on it but the other two plants only have a few hairs coming out.. Is that normal.. They have been flowering since 6-6-07.. This is my first grow.. PlEse help

anyone/???

wow...we may have a situation here... i think u might have a male plant, balls indicate male glands, if its male REMOVE immediately... post a clear picture if you can ... if all three are the same strain, have started growth together, eat thre same food, shifted to flowering @ the same time,etc.. then it might be a male plant of that strain... pics are only way to know for sure...goodluck

ok.. I gots the pics.. Pic 1 is of my sure girl.. that is budding.. Pic 2 3 and 4 are of my second plant.. It has female hairs coming out but not even close to as much as plant 1. Pic 5 is of my 3rd plant which also has female hairs coming out.. These plants were switched to 12/12 on 6-6-07.. Why is plant 1 so much further ahead?

this is a pic of the female hairs on plant 3

Yeah could be normal, are they all the same strain?

i dunno... they were seeds from a random bag of weed... But the one that is actually budding .. looks like it will be kick ass!

i wouldn't worry about it since you say that they're all just from bag seeds. plant 1 just must be a strain that flowers quickly. it's just that when you described plant one's flowers with the word "marble" everyone jumped up and thought, "marbles...little balls...male plant!"

lol have fun flowering - it's the best part of the show

Do i have enough light...? If the one that is budding nicly has enough light to produce buds .. the other ones should have enough light correct?

we hate males in here!

ive never gotten the dissapointment of seeing one.. All 3 of the seeds i planted turned out to be bitches!

Hiya Sosure

Tricky one.

The usual reason for a delay in flowering plants is light leaks into the flowering chamber, but that wouldn't explain why one is flowering and the other two arent, unless light leaks are only hitting the two that aren't flowering. Any light leaks in the dark period can stop plants entering flowering. Check for any light leaks into your flowering chamber.

You can try and force them to flower by giving them 24 hours of darkness (rather than 12) and then back into 12/12 again.

The only other thing I can think of is that they're landrace Sativas. One of the plants does look quite Sativary to me, if that's the case they may simply have a very long flowering time. It's not unknown for landrace sativas to have anything from 16-24 week flowering times.

Do check for those light leaks though, as I reckon that could be the cause.

your plant looks bushy so im guessing you have enough light! They wouldn't be growing like that if they didn't have good light! try rotating your plants once a day 180d. thats if your not already doing this... but everything seems fine. well done so far !!!

yeah i also had a bagseed plant first time around, that bugger flowered 4 like 3-4 months indoors under 400w hps!

Hey .. I apreciate everyones help... Ill check for light leaks... Thank you all so much!

Let us know how you get on Sosure. As I said, it could simply be that it's a long flowering Sativa, in which case there's not an awful lot you can do to be honest except wait.

If the other two do not start to develop in the next week or so, some more light could not hurt. Its been 3 weeks now so they should be coming along. Since your flowering now, if you can afford an hps bulb that would help. GL

hey, nice job everyone, good info all around, its cool when peeps helpOut.... what kind of light are you using?? what kind of setup are the plants in?
