I'm really sorry if this has been answered before but i can't seem to find the answer to my exact question. First a few facts about the set up I am using. I am using this as a first run for experience. I am using bag seeds from a really good bag for my first attempt. While this is a trial run mainly for expierence, I would still like to produce something for my efforts. I am using all CFL's. I want to start several plants to ensure i get a female but I only have room for one to get to full size. I am going to use the LST growing method. I am leaning toward putting my plants into flower early, determining sex, picking the strongest female, and then putting it back into veg so I can put it into the LST sprial around the grow pot. Here are my questions:
1) What is the minimum number of plants I should start with to try and make sure I get a female?
2) How early can I put them into 12/12 flowering to determine sex?
3) Should I rush to get them back to veg or take my time in determining sex?
Also I had other questions about hermies.
1) What makes a hermie undesirable?
2) How do you tell if it has turned?
3) At what point do you stop worrying about turning your plants hermie? Flowering? Harvest?
Let me thank any responders in advance. I'm just aiming to grow for personal, not for sale so I don't want to just go for volume. This is my first try and I just want to be as careful as I can without being over careful.
And may everyone have a Happy Holiday!
