5 fingers?? the amount of "Blades" on a leaf has little to do with judging sex. the plant will have less blades when it does not have much light and more when it has an abundance. Like serial says, 18 days sound right if you are giving your plant appropriate light but it could take more.

BTW: youv gota lot of posts for this being your first run around.

What I was trying to say is that around day 18 and during the 3rd node is once most people who do 12/12 from seed see sex. Mine is somewhere around 21 days, and is on the 3rd node so it is similar in size and maturity. I've been growing since March of last year, but this is my first time trying 12/12 from seed because I am attemtping to do a small seed crop.

As thatsmessedup said, you probably have another week or 2. The trick is to get them as big as you can by the time they start to flower. Trust me, you wouldn't want then to start flowering at those sizes. You wouldn't yield shit.

I am keeping them small because they are only going to be used to make some seeds. The males will stay in the solos and their pollen collected. The female will finish in a 2 gallon. Not expecting alot. A zip at most.

I don't see any flowers,but I don't see seeds either. I know they female,what I don't know is where are the flowers? I have had trouble keeping it warm,my temp has run from 63-73 sometimes up as high as 77f.I run 3 part GH & I was late picking up bloom,I usually start with a little bloom mixed in.I've had it in there a week or 2 now. Sorry I can't do pictures right now,having trouble walking,having a new leg made so it won't be long hopefully.Peace

with the GH range you can get away with micro and bloom only

Ran into my first issue with 12/12 from seed. Due to the lights being on 1/2 of what I would have them on for seedlings, and cause my T-5s produce virtually no heat... I managed to over water one of my seedlings. Hoping she'll pick up in a day or so. (One on the left)3.jpg

Yeah but a 3 weeks difference would only be like 3 or 4 plants at once. Unless you are germing multiple seeds. You should do like 1 plant a week so that you get a harvest each week.

its 3 or 4 but a if i keep the germ stages right with harvest stages if and i find the perfect sync i should be able to harvest 1 plant per week or 2

I start 2 seeds every 2 weeks, and keep it going for perpetual. Sometimes I need to slow it down, only have room for 10-12 girls.
Keep in mind different strains finish at different times, so they wont all be finishing 2 weeks apart.
