need help......+rep

i have 4 short riders that are just starting there second week of flowering yet not 1 of them have shown there sex yet. now i am POSITIVE there are no light-leaks. it is dark for 12 hours and lit for 12 hours, im using 300 watts hps(a 150watt, and (2)70watts)

each plant has 6-8 nodes. and vegged for about a month.

and im using some cheap ass veg fertilizer i bought at lowes.

my question is that they have been in flower for a week now and not 1 of them have shown there sex. does anyone know if this is totally normal??????

now with the short ryders, you don't need to change the light to trigger flowering as they are not photoperiod but rather age triggered if i am correct.. they should be an auto flowering strain and will start to flower when they get old enough.. i would put them back on either 24 hours of light or 20/4 and see how they do..

Totally normal, wait another week before you start worrying.

OOPS, right, autoflower. Just wait.

you said the low's are about a month old or so. so i would think that they should start to show sex fairly soon.. as for the other plants, i usually see signs of sex within two weeks or so after putting them under 12/12, so i would think they should show pretty soon.. they good news maybe that females usually tend to sex a lil slower than males, so maybe they are all gonna be females and are just taking their time showing for you..
