Sexing?

[siegalsmoker]

Really quick and simple question ( I hope )....How soon can u tell the sex of a plant? I'm about 3 weeks into it and dont want to waste time tranplanting them all and then be forced to throw out males later....Would like to wait and transplant only females 1 time for less stress on the plants...Thanks

after you induce 12/12 plants will show sex in a week or two. the ones that show first are usually males and the ones that take a while are usually females.

You could also continue to veg and wait for pre flowers to show which take about 6 to 8 weeks depending on the strain your growing.

sometimes vegging and waiting for sex takes to long...i dont think this is normal..but ive had a plant took 5 months before showing sex traits.

Hee hee.. it took 5 months because you chopped on it the entire time.. THAT isn't "natural"..
I have 'never' had a plant require more than 8 weeks to exhibit preflowers, more commonly 4-6 weeks.

From seed my skunks were showing as early as day 35, I was able to sex 5 of the 6 on day 38. The last one never showed sex until 2 weeks in flower and it was MALE.
