Man, I'm as noob as they get...and even I know that people are gonna get upset that you haven't researched this for yourself. There are loads of threads on this..you're looking for pistils for a female, and 'balls' if it's a male. Once the plant shows sex you'll see them where the branches meet the main stem. :peace:

It's still on veg. I dont really know if I can go 12/12 I want to get it bigger. And one more question, if I will go on 12/12, it will grow bigger, or it will just will grow buds?

Hey guy, first and far most... Your plant looks nice and healthy so good job!
It is too early in your veg cycle to tell the sex. 2 options for you, cut off a clone and put it into 12/12 to force it to show sex while leaving the rest of the plant to continue to veg, or just change the light spectrum now and go 12/12 but your yield will be smaller since you won't be vegging for very long. And to answer your other question, yes your plant will grow greatly once you switch cycles to flowering, almost 3x growth increase on average.

It will show pre flowers in veg if its mature enough. You can put in flower and it will show sex soon. Around 8 wks flower till harvest. Will grow bigger for sure. But you shouldn't take clones in flower, so unless u switch back to veg cycle after determining sex. It will just bud out. If its not a male. You can switch back, but may take time to fully enter veg again. Do the research on sexing a plant. Well with it! Your plant is young still. I suggest top/fimm. Veg for at least two more weeks and then flower. Good luck!

Your plant looks young with few options for clones. Top or fim it and it will bush out rather than grow straight up. You will have more tops and shoots to take clones from before you flower so you don't have to start from seed again. If its a female of course!

My sweet and sour widows just showed sex at 5 1/2 weeks, they have been under 24/0 light since germinated. One week after I started feeding them 1/4 strength GH flora nova 4-8-7 and 2 days after going under the HPS from CFL they all showed sex at the same time. It will be strain dependent though. I would guess that you have about 2-3 weeks to see sex if you keep them in veg and feed some diluted flower nutes. Good Luck!
