31 days of veg , 1 week of 12 /12

and no sign of male or female yet , is that cool still or is something off?

31 days in veg, she should of shown sex (pre-flower)
Look at your lower branches, see if you see any sex there.
Could also be the strain.
You'll notice going from a 24/0 light cycle to a 12/12 it takes a little bit longer for the plant to go into flower.

Just Wait a little !

I did have it 24/7 before i switched. My eyes seem to catch glimpses of pistols but when i double check its not always the same or i see something different.

I will wait.

IMO- You should use 18/6. The plant has photoreceptors that tell the plant when it's light or dark. It pretty much has a biological clock. It knows it's age. from the light/dark cycles.
Only talking about Short-Day Plants.
I totally understand trying to get ahead of the game with the 24/0 light cycle, but as you can see with your plant. You've been spinning your tires in the mud for the last week waiting for her to flower. You'll probably have to wait another week for her to start flowering.
There's no short cuts.

Good Luck with your Grow.

with my first grow i didnt get sex untill about 10 days or so into flower with only a 4-5 week veg. if your not seeing hairs soon they are probably all males.

I've never seen "preflowering", and never seen sex before 12/12. I've had plants show sex in 12/12 anywhere from 3 - 21 days in. Don't give up. The longer it takes, the more likely it's female. 7-14 is the most common in my experience, but like I said, they've taken up to 21 days.

Here is how it gos : germination stage 1-14 days, seedling stage 1-2 weeks vegation stage 1-3 month, pre flower stage 1-2 we4ks, flower stage 1-16 weeks; - then harvest!!!!! You are in pre-flower stage that is when the plants " sex" themselves

my critical kush put out pistols on 24 hours of light at around 6 weeks so it can show sex before light change.

Yep, I've experienced this with some of my Kush's also.

Not on 24hrs though, I go 18/6 for veg after a couple of weeks on 20/4.

I'm assuming this is from seed. Are the nodes still symmetrical or asymmetrical? They should show their sex shortly after they become asymmetrical.

I find that vegging a plant that is to be flowered a waste of time and energy. As soon as my clones root or seedlings sprout up they go under the HPS. The cool whites in the cloning bin and the daylight tubes on the mothers are on 24hrs with no dark period. A mercury vapour metal halide 18/6 will be used before cloning to elongate the shoots. A new seedling put directly under 1k HPS 12/12 will give you the chance to get a snip before it goes to far into bud. Healthy clones will show hair in the first day or so.

well it takes 8 weeks atleast to flower. and im vegging 8 other plants for 8 weeks while they are flowering. il pull 5-6 ounces per plant so different strokes for different folks.

saying vegging is a waste is retarded.
