- Thread starter ToonPlex
- Start date

but the problem is my parents they hate weed and they know everything about it since in my hometown there are fields
thieves everybody wanna sell it or smoke it they rip it off when buds starts to show they don't even let it mature

Yep rippers are scum. I have fences around my gardens and pay friends or trimmers to camp in my full term spots.
And booby traps for other remote spots.
Can you send a message because i can't send you

When i can see sex i pull the males mark the females. The next day males and females. The next day males and females. By the fourth day everything should be declared.
So many people think they can just grow the plant and after some amount of weeks it just shows sex. Yes if its started in earlier spring outdoors with no extra light they can sex. But not absolute at all.
But under lights ive had friends call me to take a look at a "female". The brown pistil they see is usually a browned and shriveled leaflet at the node. Near where youd expect to see a hair.
Plants started during long season outdoors wont sex till August even in the tropics.
As far as preflower im not sure im understanding how you are using it. Preflower to me is the transition the stretch from veg to budding.
Brother ive popped at least 5000 seeds in my times growing my self and sexed many many more plants than that. Hundreds of thousands if counting hemp. And there's no way to say females usually show first.

The definition of "preflower" I go by is what I've learned in books and on the web which is the first signs of sex that show before the plant is flipped to flower. While I have popped closer to 100-200 seeds (not anything close to 5,000 
) I've always been able to clearly ID males about a week before I could clearly ID females.

Oh, just to clarify, I never said females show first, I said the opposite of that.

No ot wasnt for that. The whole usual thing is in my opinion based on some knowledge some experience but not enough. Its wishful. And can confuse beginners or lead them down the wrong track unknowingly.
If a plant is in veg its a very small chance that it will just show sex. Like i said even in long season that is not what happens. You know what does the day length. In spring befor mid or late may a plant may be 3-4 weeks old and the day length is still short enough to induce flowering, preflowering or showing sex. Whatever term you are comfortable with. Its not the age that determines when a plant will show sex.
There's few hard absolutes in cannabis genetics. And ive seen some plants show sex, and clearly while in veg but thats less than 1 percent that do that.
hello
its been 19 days but no pistils its just stretching

All you can do is be patient. I have no idea why it wouldn't be showing signs of sex by now.
I just want to harvest it before mid june

Try looking in the top third of the plant, theres got to be something. On some strains ive had to have a magnifying glass and kinda open the calyxs to see a hair. If no balls yet its hopeful but not gauranteed female. But id ne putting money on its a sneaky male if there's no sign of sex yet. Ive seen them sneak thru April-may sexing then all of a sudden in mid August the whole plant declares male. Sucks chopping a 7 footer and many potential pounds lost.
Did you try some phosphorus to induce flowering/sexing?
No i didn't try phosphorus
