Sexless

Before I started my grow this year I noticed two volunteers in my backyard. Must have dropped seeds somehow. Anyway, now they are about 24 inches and after having them in 12/12 for a while I have one that grew pistils and is now in flower. The other is growing great but has not confirmed sex although it has been in 12/12 for 4 weeks now. Has anyone else seen this?

Looks like you have a Indica and a Sativa cross that is expressing itself from both parents. The fast flowering plant is Indica and the plant without flowers Sativa. The Sativa will be triggered when the 12 X 12 is long enough to stimulate floral hormones. The flowering triggering photoperiod for both plants parents are different. I've had Sativa take as long as 40 to 60 days just to start flowering. That can be frustrating when a frost or freeze is likely in 80 or 180 days outdoors. That's why the professional breeders cross the fast flowering plants with the long equatorial flowering plants, to produce quality plants that flower the quickest. 😎

This is a narrow leaf so no where near indica. Besides other than BBG I don' t grow indica. It turned out the most mature of my volunteers was definitely male. The other is happily female.

Equatorial sativa's are on a constant 12/12 cycle in there natural environment. Age triggers them to flower more than anything as 12/12 is there light during their entire life cycle.

F2 siblings, one indica dominant, the other sativa dominant sounds likely to me. You
