As soon as they are big enough, take a cutting and put it where it will only get 12 hour of light per day until it shows its sex.

I think this plant is getting close to 12/12. Maybe I'll see the sex soon. How big do autos get untill they show?

An hour won't do anything. And that's a good idea that why I don't have to have a giant plant indoors and I can do a micro grow
Plants in flower need 12 hours of uninterupted darkness or it can cause problems, but just once should not hurt anything. If you wanted you could make your lights come on an hour later and only run them for 11 hours tomorrow to make them have their twelve hours of darkness tonight and get back on track.

Need to check the weather. Should be nice today. If it isn't going to rain tomorrow, then I'll water with more nute water. Could be the reason for all this growth.

What I should do to get them to flower early, as they are bagseed and probably aren't autos. I don't want to wait till September,by then they will be 6 foot monsters that should yield a pound.
Oh. I thought you just wanted a way to ID them for sex. I did not know you wanted to start the whole plant flowering early. I have heard of people making covers to blackout some light for a couple of hours each day, but that seems like a lot of trouble and you'd have to be there about the same time every day....

I don't mind six foot monsters, but I just really don't want to wait till september. I hear you can cover them after 12 hours of sunlight with like a 5 gallon pail or something but that is a lot of work.

BUGS! This blows, my second best got fucking mauled. My best has one tiny whole. Not sure what to do. Didn't see any bugs on them, just ants. But the vegatation around them have no holes at all. I'ma go check the Bug sub section. I really don't want to use pesticides, I may have some for vegetables.

Going to check and MEASURE them today, they have been looking good. Nice and hot out today, I just hope I don't see any over nute signs as they had some nutes yesterday, possibly pictures.

It will be 6 weeks tomorrow from seed. It is small for it's age but it is taking off now. I am worried as it is supposed to storm tonight, hopefully it is fine tomorrow, I'll check on it then.

yeah it should be fine, i left a couple of week old seedlings outside last weekend and it was a pretty rank storm, like 30km winds and it survived somehow! i was pretty amazed, they turned a little purple but got theyre color back. strong little fuckers can survive anything! lol
