Male or Female?!

Yeah 3 weeks today from seed, i dont want monstrous plants, i really need to know when i can flower
Flower = making them show their sex. whether it's forced, or not. so you can't see sex BEFORE flower

how tall are those?

it's way too early to tell, and if they r 3 weeks old, what kind of light you using?

Hun- you can't tell a male from a female unless they are vegged more than 5 weeks (after the 3-leaf stage) OR when they go into 12/12..... you have to wait until they pre-sex or start to bloom to tell.

Sorry...

But remember this-- if you put them 12/12 now- they will just keep vegging until sexually mature enough to bloom- 4-5 weeks or so... AND they will still double in size during bloom...

knowing what kind they are would help you/us on the timing! ;)

They are white rhino seeds, i been following all the proper steps to get started, In another post the dude said they look indica where as someone else said they are fersure sativa...all i know is they are doing well and im gettin 1/2 inch growth per day, starting on the 4th node. Any advise would be great. i have em in a foil lined box with ventilation n all.

Some strains will show preflowers in 4 weeks. I know c99 does. That one is way too early to tell. Way too early to take clones and not worth it to force flowering unless youre going to fully flower it.

Patience.

Then just flower them now. It should only take a week or two before they show signs of sex.

If you went 12/12 now- you'd be lucky to end up with a plant 8-10" tall and a couple grams of bud...

"3-leaf stage" just means after the plant has 3 sets of true leaves-- like yours does now.

White rhino is an easy grow and very stable-- she won't get huge unless you stretch it or veg a long time.
Make sure she has lots of root space- you will want her in a 5-gallon planter at least a week before she goes 12/12-- and when she gets some side branching, learn to LST her to keep her short & shrubby...
let her veg 3-4 more weeks after tying- then untie her and go 12/12... she'll be 2x the size she is when she goes in size when she gets to harvest-- so go by that to judge when to switch

white rhino is a indica plant u should change out the foil for Mylar foil makes hot spots. What nutes r u running? Light set up etc. and way to early to tell sex. Wait a week and 12/12 em so u can get rid of males early and dnt waste time or money on em

they usually show sex 10-14 days after inducing flowering, they'll show sex eventually in veg but it takes 6 weeks +

Thanks yo i appreciate it, ima try to scrog her so i can optimize what "little" light i have. Is it cool to bring back my timer a hour a day? so its more natural to her

Running a total of 100 watts CFL, not using nutes. jus fed her today that all purpose 20-20-20 HOPING she wont burn, just a lil skeptical though...and about the foil im using the dull side not the shiny side, cool?

Idk about the foil if it doesn't create hot spots, i doubt it'll reflect all of the useable light mylar security blankets r like 3.00 @ur local hardware store for about 82inchx68inch if im not mistaken . But its even cheaper than foil. Dont skimp on ur girls now they'll skimp on u later



Good growing:)/ dope
