Sexxing Question

Hello everyone.
Right now I am currently growing 4 plants under 2 48" fluorescent bulbs. They are cool white tubes. They are about to hit week 5 from seed and have been on 12/12 after sprouting, so 4 weeks. It's been quite a while but I am just wondering if my babies will show sex. I am just worried because I know I am using a very small amount of light and am wondering if that could cause them to not show sex or something. Anyone?

If you want to look at how big they are etc.:

I don't understand why you would use 12/12 light on sprouts? are you shooting for small plants? the sex will show when the plant hits maturity
about week 4-5 for me but I run 24/7
light.

instantly puts the sprout into flower?... making for smaller "lollypop" buds it would be basicly a SOG from seeds...

Hey Randy, I've read your posts, through and through. :) You have a lot of good information. I am just wondering if the reason my babies aren't showing sex is a low lumen condition. Or something, maybe im just paranoid and impatient. lol

I guess low light have you seen this grow? 100 watt cfl 1 month flowering *PICS*

Do you have a heavy water schedule in flower? your pots look kinda small. I water about every 3 days in my pots. I'm going to try the 30-30-30 grow shooting for two plants each cycle at the end of 120 day I should harvest every month 2-4 oz

my plants always drink 1/2 gallon every other day and at peek just a little more.

the key to growing in large pots is just give it 1/2 gallon every other day.

------------------------------------------

now for small pots the plant needs the same amot of floods. so you give less more often.

1 gallon pots drink about 4x a day of 8oz.

the 44oz cup need more per day and less per water

and the 16oz beer cup. even more tweeks

the cup are a few day younger then the 1 gallon pot
