How long does it usually take after turning lights on to 12/12 before you know its female? Im pretty sure it is but no white hairs have emerged yet.

It can also depend on the strain and how long you vegged. Pure sativas, haze, thai, etc can take a long time to show.

I'm starting to worry about mine too...

My last batch - Afganhi - I could sex within 3 days... I now have Northern Lights & 10 days on they have hardly begun to flower... They may be getting too cold when lights off (sorted that now) May also have a magnesium deficiency (will try to sort that tomorrow).

From a few day's to a coupla weeks . . . be patient. Males almost always show first, so you've probably a laidee.

I am working from a bag seed and she grew out to be sativa. I did 24 hour darkness before 12/12 and she showed me white hairs in 1 day. I had white hairs on both plants but one turned male so I cut him down. Hope this helps for future grows.

Back @ ya, TW . . . even this OLD fart finds his feet climbing the stairs to the bud-u-phorium half a dozen unnecessary times a day, like the month the bitches still need is gonna suddenly be over any second. I just stand there in a trance, staring at the forming buds! You'd think a guy'd get used to it, but it's still a thrill after 3-4 decades . . . and the waiting remains the same as it was first go 'round!
