first thing to do is change light time earlyer like 6am to 6pm better lighting and u should start seeing flowering about 1week to 2 weeks and what u useing for flower nuts

You should be able to tell the sex in a weekish. Did you have a 24-36 hour darkness period before you initiated 12/12?

took just over two weeks for my departed first ever plant (male) first showed any signs of flowering. My second of still undetermined sex has just started to bud and that was just over a week. Just be patient it will happen.

during flower no nitrogen or a little wont hurt i personly try to hot use any nit. at all

 

[jballs422]

[mygirls]

thats a lot better rember the less during flower the better good luck

 

[jballs422]

Thanks to all

You want to have N in your flowering stage esp. in the beginning. The plants will go through a stretch phase during the first 2-4 weeks and they need a more balanced mix of N-P-K, like a 1-3-2 ratio. Read the FAQ's here they will tell you how to use nutrients during the flower stage. If your bud boost stuff is 3-55-12, thats a 1-18-4 N-P-K ratio, too high in phosphorous and not enough nitrogen and potassium. I wouldnt worry about showing signs just yet. Males usually show faster in about 3-7 days and females usually take longer at like 6-12 days or so. Also maybe try a carbo booster like molasses during week 5-7 at about 1-2 Tbs. per gal. Then flush if ya want and should be good to harvest, dry, and cure if ya want to. GL hope you get some nice buds

Nah, but the dark period seems to speed up the process abit. Though I think theres alot of other factors, and yeah, growers preference.
