Just started documenting. Using seeds that I found in an order from the dispo. 4x4 seeds germinated and all looking very healthy. I am worried about sexing the plant down the line in case I accidentally ruin an entire harvest. This is my second grow, the first was from two clones I panic bought when I was stressed. It’s fair to say these were a real Botch as I transplanted then three times, didn’t monitor conditions for the first half, and just didn’t understand anything to do with growing. I’m not sure if I will finish this grow as I have an order with some feminized auto flowers on the way! Personally I don’t like smoking that much. I just find a simple joy in growing something which my friends may enjoy.

solid growth from 3 out of the 4. Getting close to the point of sexing which is worrying me.

I removed two plants this week because I’m starting an auto grow so I kept the two in the 5 gallon pots. Started LST training to maximise my grow space

Hi everyone, I’m into the 4th week of regular seed grow and I have a question about sexing. I am still new and have read about looking at the pre flowers, but when should I be able to see these? I’ve been keeping an eye out because I don’t want to ruin my other grow! Thank you!

Pre-flowers appear at the base of leaves when male plants are about 3-4 weeks old, and female plants are 4-6 weeks old. So they should be showing really soon. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

So I removed two of the plants and replaced them with some Fem Auto’s and if you want to check them out they’re in my other diaries! So keeping the plants as they are for now in the veg stage. I want to let my autos get as much light as possible until at least they’re in flower.

Keeping it in Veg until my autos are nice and strong before I flip the lights for the photoperiods. For seeds that I found in a bag, these are growing really strong indeed
