Yup. Every time I grow I get preflower between the 3rd and 5th week. This time I got them in like 3 weeks on one strain I am growing and 4 weeks on the other. Once you do it a few times you get the hang of it.
Now I don't know why some of you guys think it takes one or two weeks of 12/12. Either you are flowering way to early or you are not identifying the preflowers correctly and waiting until you get actual flowers. After a week, especially two the real flowers should be beginning to grow.
You can grow plants from seed in a 12/12 cycle and they will sex starting at the third week. Letting plants mature is a way to mimic nature but it isn't necessary.

a clone is a mature plant and exactly my point once again!!! maturity is the key
This Jack the Ripper clone showed sex 11 days after I purchased it from a club under 18/6 lighting.

amen!!! i jus felt so insulted having to explain to these dudes that maturity is the key a mature plant will tell you what it is without you having to 12 12 for two weeks...the reason it takes two weeks for these dudes is because they have no patience and sexed the plant way too early!!! thanks for the comment i really thought i was lost for a moment!! lol +rep for you buddy and check out my thread!!!

I am not doubting your prowess, but the information you are trying to share is just plain wrong.
If some one like Bricktop or FDD2BLK or riddleme cares to correct me I invite them to do so.
Until then I will continue to correct your misinformation.

Exactly. If you're growing in a PC case you need the smallest plant possible. For a photosensitive strain (non-autoflower) that means 12/12 from seed in addition to LST, topping, super cropping, etc.
With stable genetics and a quality environment hermaphrodism is rare even with the added stress of flowering early.
Here is a picture from a week or so ago, it's a Northern Lights. At two months old it's loaded with preflowers right now, approximately a month before flowering will begin (August).

Space and time. A lot of people are growing personal use only, so they 12/12 from seed, get enough weight to last a year, and then don't do anything until they are almost out.
It doesn't work for everyone, but it works for those who need it. Same thing with CFLs, PC grows, etc. That isn't how I prefer to grow, but it works extremely well for some people.

Wats this high school did you jus get me written up cause your the only one that knows how to grow buds...all you guys are talking about circumstance im talking about ideal and maybe everyone cant do it like i do but it is a way and it becomes easier to determine sex if a plant is mature....why have sex with a pre teen when you can wait for the mature 18 yr old sure they both can have babies but why would you want too...lol smh you guys and your righteousness...
Please.
This whole argument stemmed from this statement:
which isn't true.
You can plead your persecution complex, and keep insulting us personally but it doesn't change the fact that you have no evidence to support this statement.
lovemug I think you may have misunderstood that piece of information.
If you sprout a bean and put it under veg lighting, either 18/6 or 24/0, it will not show preflowers until it is mature. This is what smokesumkush is saying, and it is true.
However, if you place that plant under flowering lighting it will show sex as early as 3 weeks from germination.

So what are you trying to say?
The point is this is Newbie Central and the information being given out is misleading at best, is this the type of information we want new growers learning?
