Just ordered 10 regular original granddaddy purple and 5 feminised Dutch passion seeds blueberry from attitude anyone grown these out before also anyone know what the average height is when the pre flowers show because I want to get as many of the granddaddy purple in my 1.2m tent as possible the only thing I can think of is soon as I find all the males remove them and if the plants are too big for the space trim them back for flower any help would be much appreciated

Forgot to mention I was going o just let them grow maybe lst them a bit I heard you are best not stressing regular seeded plants because it can produce more males therefore was gong to trim them down if needed be after I have sexed them

Where exactly did you hear that?

There's nothing you can do to prevent getting males from regular seeds other than providing a quality environment. Stressing them through means of LST and topping is not going to increase your chance of getting a male plant vs doing nothing at all.

Irregular light schedules and unstable environments will more likely cause your plants to go male or hermie than anything else.

Best thing you can do as a grower with regular seeds is to provide them a healthy environment, and pray to the pot gods. Talk to your plants, play them music, whatever it takes!

At what age did they show pre-flowers and have you trained them in anyway

Males will show almost immediately. Pistils take longer to develop, so generally the longer it takes to see sex the more likely it's a girl.

nope didn't do anything to them and they are full and bushy preflowers I'm not sure when really but i believe after a few weeks of veg
How much did they stretch in flower I want to keep mine small guess will have to fim and lst them but I can't really plan it out properly coz not sure how many I will have in the tent coz I'm starting from regular seeds

Thanks what pot size would you suggest to put them in until I have sexed them I'm using coco and clay pebbles obviously I don't want them to get root bound but don't want to be wasting coco on males so basically what pot would last long enough until pre-flowers so I can get rid of the males and then pot up the females
