Vegetate Female

So my current understanding for most strains, is that when you see signs of sex, ie: Pollen sacks, or Pistils, than the plant is in 'FLOWERING' correct?

I have a very small female, showing pistils as of like 6 days ago.

I am wanting to 'veg' this plant some more, adding more hours of light, from around 13 to 15-16 again.

How likely is this to stress this young female into hermi status? kiss-ass Thanks in advance,

It is hard to say but let us say that if your seeds came from a feminized batch then yes I would say your likelyhood for hermaphroditism will increase when you are reverting a flowering plant back to a vegetative one.

Typical veg lighting is either 24hours, or always on...

Or 18/6, on 18 off 6...


Not 13, 15 or 16...


Just put lights on it 24 hours a day, it should be fine if it just started to flower. At least you know it's female...

Thanks Norml!

I just orderd some Ingermars Punch and Durga Matra seeds so theese will be good learning plants for this high quality seeds.

I personally do 18/6. I don't see any difference between 18/6 and 24/7 except in the power bill
