Why not use feminized seeds? I would hate to devote that much time growing and then have them turn hermie. I've noticed prices are starting to come down on a lot of strains because in the U.S. more and more states are starting to legalize it and there's going to be a lot more competition between seedbanks.
Ive had one feminized seed turn hermie on me. the package i get my seeds in say 99.9 percent chance of female. I think that percentage is a little high. but my room is pretty dialed in. I only use regular seeds unless im trying some type of breeding project. I save myself a lot of money on base soil and/or nutrients. Why vedge a male for eight weeks just to flip the lights and see ballsFeminized seeds will hermie easier and more often under stress compared to regular seeds. =)

I dont do three days of darkness before i switch to 12/12. I have in the past. When my female plants come out of veg room they go right into flower room. As for pre-sex signs i dont do that either like i said i mainly use female seeds.Because you don't grow like that. You don't check for pre-sex signs? or do a 3-day darkness or 3-days of 12-12 to get the gender to show?
