Just needs abit of time...

Expect some more time depending on strain genetics etc !

Agree, my girls took three plus weeks before I saw anything and then exploded in growth. If you're lucky you get a strain that shows sex early/soon, if not you gotta sweat it out and wait.

Your light leak would affect it.

if you havent changed to 12/12 you wont see anything.after you swith to 12/12 it takes anywhere from 5 to 14 days before they show sex,so switch to 12/12 and wait!!!
