i flipped these plants to 12/12 3 days ago after 6weeks of being on 18/6. i am trying to figure out if they are still in the vegetative stage and have to go into flower or are they all male plants. Can’t wait to here from other more experienced growers.

you didn't zoom in where it is important. i see a nub next to some axillary growth, but don't see a hair projecting, nor can i determine if it itself is projecting from a stem -- but would guess that particular object is a female organ. If the nub at any growth node (2 nubs, if still symetrical growth) does not project from a stem, it's likely female. it will soon pop a little white hair. if this lil nub starts to project from a little stem... more than one will form as opposed to just 1 calyx... then it's a male sex organ. it will eventually open up and what looks like a bunch of bananas ("nanners") will be inside -- might be light green to start but will turn yellow quickly once it opens up. inidividual 'nanners' are not as dangerous as a sac full of nanners which also has a full compliment of male sex organs. The nanners are often less productive if found on their own and not in clusters from pollen sacs opening up. Sometimes it doesn't even make viable pollen on their own. You'll get at worst a few seeds per ounce from untended nanners. *rip them out if you can... if it's going nuts with 100s of them all over, toss the plant, but in general a few nanners is worth the effort to salvage. pollen sacs developing are really bad.. they will pollinate the entire grow area with 1000s of seeds. if you attempt to keep the plant, it is best to isolate it. never go from that hermie grow area to your normal grow area or you will contaminate it. do those chores last and should avoid 99% of pollination. Probably going to get a few seeds though. Best to just throw out the 'true' or 'full' hermaphrodites. it's not a good trait to pass along, if it easily occurs. in other words, it's a really shitty plant for breeding.

Hey Ckush, It would take like 1 to 2 weeks to see the flowering proces, it depends on the strain. 3 days is just a little bit early. When a plant goes into the flowering stage, they still grow for like 2-3 weeks. Even in some strains it grows twice it size. Since your plants are small and you have lots of space to grow, you should be good. I did some research on your strain and they are not feminized, meaning the seeds are not 99% female BUT when i took a look at your diary, without seeing close-up photos, it looks like a female to me :) Next time you should buy feminized seeds, it is way easyer and safer. No one like males or hermaphrodites. Good luck Growing :)
