Preflowers?

dedevil · Jan 25, 2012

are these preflowering? first time grow and thinking maybe 2 females off the bat they have been vegging for about a month now maybe more

tried to get as many close ups as i can i am using 2 40 watt cfls and 2 25 watt cfls right now there are 3 plants going and i am getting excited i think i might be switching into flowering with a week or so but it looks like they are preflowering a little now and got me curisous so i thought any help i could get from more expert eyes then my own wouldnt hurt thanks in advance

Preflowers should look like a single calyx with two hairs similar to gazelle horns.

This is the best picture I could find, under the first set of branches the ends of a set of preflowers can be seen. No leafy look at all, just a pair of long white hairs.

so the stuff on the node i circled and those little things coming out arent preflowers at all? damn i am hoping to wait for preflowers before i flower it then i want to take some clones from them lol dont want know how much it will slow things down to flower for sexing then to reveg a little more?

No those are normal on both male and female. Do a google image search for female or male cannabis and you will find plenty of pictures. Good news is no sign of a male yet.

I wouldn't reveg your main plant, take a cutting from it and put it into veg though.

like now should i do that or wait till they are flowering?

You can clone it now. If you have more than one plant then label your clones and mother plants so that when you put them into flower and its female or male you know which clones to keep and which to destroy. Also can you get a better shot of the whole plant? It may not really be ready to clone or to flower yet.

the ones that tend to be on the right and closer is my big baby hoping its a she something fierce and the rest are just not growing as fast i dont even have the big one under my brightest lights let me know what you think if its close to flowering now or if i should veg a few more weeks

Hey dedevil,

I would say that they could wait a bit, especially if you want to take some clones. Grow them out a bit and then trim them up real nice and use the lower braches to make clones right before you switch to 12/12.

If you added a couple of more lights they might grow a bit faster. You might want to hang some above them to encourage upwards growth as well.

Looking good brother.

Cheers,

Catchin22 · Jan 30, 2012

dedevil · Jan 30, 2012

here is a clearer one i am struggling with taking pics just using my phone i need to get my camera back lent it to the parents before christmas lol but up close i see the little pre flowers showing

Catchin22 · Jan 30, 2012

Nope, think you are confused unless my eyesight is getting worse.

dedevil · Jan 30, 2012

arent these right here the pistils? they are what i have seen pointed out as pre flowers on other sites pictures

lilrich11 · Jan 30, 2012

just going to have to wait and see

silverserf · Feb 1, 2012

Thoses are not preflowers. That's where they will be when you see them but that ain't it. You will see two hairs sticking out of a little bulb, when you see the hairs you know it's a girl. If there are no hairs and the bulb is sorta hanging down....your looking at some nuts.

From seed it think you will have to wait till week 2-3 of 12/12 before you see them.
