First hydro grow (white russian)

once had a dog named
when would you start to flower m8
Since you won't want any males in your flowering area, you must sex your plants before flowering. You must wait until there are preflowers showing at the nodes before the plants can be sexed. This usually takes about 6-8wks from seed.

Take a couple cuttings from each of your plants, marking the clones according to which donor each came from, get them to set root and then flower them, keeping the donors vegging for the time being.

You'll want to keep the donor plants that turn out to be female as mother plants to avoid the delays of raising from seed for your next crop. It only takes about 7-10 days to get a clone to root.

When the clones display sex you can then discard the donor plants that are then known to be male. The clones which are female will be the first crop you'll flower to harvest.
