It has been a consistent 35ish days for me from seed. Start to see the pair of pistils popping up at the nodes.from seed ???i have never seen it that fast from germination to showing sex easy 6 - 7 weeks for solid confirmation View attachment 3516273View attachment 3516274
I did that for an experimental because to monster crop a clone the root mass is not as big as the whole plant being monster cropped, I have been lucky for it not hermie but downside is it didn't flower as quick the second time around. But worth the messing around tho when she decides to finishWhy waste the time? Germinating from seed.... most strains will show sex in 30 to 35 days in veg. Cull the males then.
Whereas.... germinating from seed....it takes a couple weeks to for the seedling to get rooted enough to bother flipping to 12/12. Then it takes at least 1 week to show sex and then you have to go back to 18/6 for a couple weeks to get it back to veg. At the very least youll need 30 to 35 days to sex them but probably a lot more.
So why not veg until you see pistils then cull the males and flip?
Link?Just buy a sex testing kit. Done and done,no need to flower
It's 2015 people
I think I like the old school methods... Every regular seed I had wich have been herbies freebie afghan put em all down let them grow and look for node distance the taller ones were nearly a guarantee male but stick in flower just incase or clone the bugger.. the advantages are the learning curve or to up your cloning skills it's fun why be quick when you can slowly learn things?!!! But that's just me lol plus I can't clone to save my lifeAfter the first true leaves spear we pluck and crush the cotyledons.
Easy peasy, no guess work and NEVER grow a male plant.

So it's $10 a card and you can check two plants with each card? Hmmm
Great link, but you have personal experience? Also, how the hell do I order on the website? It just keeps taking me back to the feeding of info lolAfter the first true leaves spear we pluck and crush the cotyledons.

Because time is money. That's why. And flipping a plant to sex it, the flip back into veg.. you will have more trannys than a Bangkok night club.
Nobody wants to see bananas on chicks...
it only takes about 2-3 weeks to switch back to vegTBH no matter what even on 12 / 12 from seed will take same amount of time or pretty dam close most will veg a seedling till they can clone it then flip clones on 12 12
Sure a person can go straight to 12 / 12 but the revegging part is whats going to kill you expect pending how far you let them bloom out 8 weeks before all plant reverts back and looks like a vegging plant
