Topping?.?.?. And Flowering?

hello all. I have A few Questions.. I just Germinated a couple seeds. and Plan on growing them outdoors.could I grow A small Bushy Plant bout 1/2 to 2 feet tall. and flower it whenever I want.. An when should I top it. The reason I want a small plant is because of my neibors.. thanks

topping ur plants will keep them smaller and bushy to make it flower depends on the weather outside but it has to have at least 12 hours lights off.

peace

how long after i Plant them should they show there pre- flowers.. like I cant tell if its male right away. i just look for the fuzzy pistil. do males show faster then females?? or vice versa?

anyone????????

males do show faster, around [3-5 weeks you should tell,when the season is about and your lighting changes that is], ones that start getting little green balls popping up male, white pistols flowers are females

you can lst your plants too

that will keep them short and bushy

Auto flowers stay small (about a foot) an flower about 30 days after planting, 70 days an they are done regardless of the light outside. I would buy feminized seeds to focus on the females. Oh if your on a budget the single seed center will sell one seed at time. My red dwarf females were like 12$ each.

would my plants show pre flowers if i keep the light cycle 18/6 or do they just show during the 12/12.. i just wanna elimanate all the males asap

18/6 is still veggie so you would go 24 darkness the 12/12

LSTing your plants will keep them short, and produce more buds. You could top them, but I think LST would work better in your case.
