I have 8 plants growing in a flood and drain system. Under 400 watt Metal halide light.
Plants are around 5 weeks in veg. Topped all plants to develop more colas.
Can i sex the plants now to get shot of the males? Then put the fems back in to veg to grow the more before eventual flowering?
SO can i switch lights from 18/6 to 12/12 to sex, then switch back to 18/6?
How do the experts sex their plants early?
