Help me with sexing

guys and gals,

I am wondering how long after I switch the lights to 12/12 that I will begin to notice the plants showing there sex...

How long must I leave the lights 12/12 before I an go back to 24/0 ?

Do males tend to show first even with the lights on 24?


Any advice is much appreciated

well you DON'T go back to 24/7 or even 18/6 ....once in 12/12 you let the plants flower. Anywhere from 1 - 4 weeks they should show pre-flower sex.

Unless you are an EXPERIENCED grower I would not recommend trying to send them back to Veg after flower cycle is induced. You should see the males in 3-4 weeks... you will know for sure... you will see balls.

I myself am waiting with anticipated breath as I enter the veg cycle of my first grow.... I' pretty sure Mother Nature will give me all males to teach me a lesson in patience.....but I remain hopeful

You should see no longer than two weeks.
As soon as you know the sex turn it back then it will re veg but it takes some time.
Pre flowers can form during veg that will give you the sex.Some strains of males will flower like crazy on veg. lighting.I have Blue dynamite and the males are going nuts on 18/6.The ones that start to open i cut untill I have a clone of mine ready to breed.

I have a suspicion that ones male... I am running 24yr light. the one I believe is male has little green dots where the nodes are.

Thanks
