Females do indeed take longer to show sex....USUALLY. Not always. Rule is the longer it takes to show sex, the better the chance it's a female. But that rule don't always hold true. Wouldn't change a thing, just go have a look see at Growdocs threads. They otta make ya feel better about yeild.

...and males do finish earlier. Most males would be done by week 5.

Why 12/12 from the get go??

Why 12/12 from the get go??

With a few exceptions (long flowering sativas are the exceptions like Nevilles Haze) you should start your plants on a veg cycle of 18/6 on/off or a 24 hour "always On" approach. Your plants won't develop correctly if started under the "flowering" cycle of 12/12.

thanks for positive feedback! ive been at this for months, with so many mess ups, male plants and herms i think i finaly got it this time, i got hindu kush and super skunk growing ( dont know which is which atm) but whats the difference from sativa and indiga?

indica i mean, anyone?

Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis are the three main species of cannabis. Ruderalis isn't used very much..not very potent...R female be like smokin I or S males.

Sativa...grow to about 3' to 15'...usually 6 to 12 leaf blades..thinner longer blades...up to 6" internode spacing.

Indica...grow to about 6" to 4'...usually 3 to 5 leaf blades..short fat leaf blades..maybe marble like patterns in leaf...usually less than 3" internode spacing.

Hybrids are a combo of both...Sativa dominate or Indica dominate. Each produce different highs...breeders use the attributes they are looking for from different plants to create a new strain.

Hope this helps
