What do those green spikes on the stem represent? after 4 of these show up i can start topping my plant right? after I do this and they start growin again, when will I be able to tell the sex? I'll post some pics tomorrow if needed
I don't think there spikes but i think i know what you mean. anyway by topping your plant do you mean clones? what i do to tell the sex is take some cuttings, then down the days? and in about 7 days the males will sow then get the days back up on the females, the Mr plants will sow up befor the females do.
Say you have 4 plants 18ha days and would like to make some clones for the next grow, say 4 plants, what you do is take 2 or 3 cuttings from ea plant,(remember which cutting from which plant?) so now we got 12 cuttings,..setup a cutting-clone room 8ha days or 12ha but 8ha will flower befor 12,.. So now we wait say 7days or so to see if any male flowers sow up? if theres no male flowers in 2weeks then there is no males in your 18ha veg room..so you know you have 4 females in the veg room but if you do get males lets say from plant 1 where you got the 3 cuttings from then you know that-that plant is a male and can remove it, and at the same time you remove the 3clones and keep the 4 best now female clones for the next grow? once you work out which is male and remove em you get the days back up to 18ha days>goto veg in the clone room,..once you harvest the plants that you removed the clones from, you got 4 nice size clones which you know are female for the next time.
first question is are you growing in or out doors..this section is for our door so I assume that you are growing out. There truely is no need to top a plant unless you are dealing with height restrictions. If you are growing outdoors, your plants wont show sex untill either the plant is sexually mature or the days have dropped down too under 14 hours of light. In most parts of the US that's usually early to mid August. Hope this helps
