RAPE (Forcing sex)

Whats the earliest I can force my plants to show sex?

I have 6 white widow x mango that I started from seed.I'm hoping for 2-3 females.
Under x1 15watt flouro tube(Daylight), x1 15 watt purple uv "Grow" lamp and x2 23 watt 6500k daylight CFLs
they're 33 days old
they were on 18/6 for 30 days.
changed it to 17/7 on day 30
going to go to 16/8 in another 30 days or so
space is starting to become an issue. on a coupleof the plants the lower leaves are kinda pale and wilting slightly (thier all topped, getting really bushy) I want to do anything I can to avoiding adding more lights.

anytime you want

You can start flowering as soon as they pop.they will just grow normal until there old enough to flower,tho yield would be very small.30-40 day veg is good.

thats a funny way to put it, forced flowering, rape. very smooth. widow and mango sounds like its gonna be some killer. peace.

haha thanks,

should I change the bulb temp or can I do it with just the time change?

swap out those CFLs for 42w 2700k ones

i have some right now on 12/12 from seed and they took about 3 weeks to show sex. basicaly any time you want them to show just put them under 12/12. the more mature the plants are the faster they will show sex. peace.

Fuckin eh, thanks boys!

does it cause alot of stress when you throw them back into veg?

Yesh it does cause the plant stress... The different stages, Veg and Flowering is almost the same as putting you through puberty and then half way through we decided to take it back...lol can you say ouch?!?
