Even from the second picture?? Is it possible for it to stress a plant into changing sex before the flower cycle actually starts

 

[bobrown14]

yes you can stress plants to produce male bits. Lots of growers thats how they make seeds on female plants. They spray harsh chemicals on the plant early in flower to stress her to make male flowers.

No your plants are not mature yet, its too early to call. Couple more days you should see whats what.

Whatever is going to happen it will happen. Patience is key.

These pictures have female parts on them. The others don’t seem too. Honestly 10 days into flowering should have a lot more, you sure your timer is good and you’ve got no light leaks?

I don't see any pre-flowers. I see a cut stem and new growth. You should be topping early in VEG and not going into flowering.

What topping going into flowering does is delay the flowering process until the plant grows a new Apical Meristem (main stem). The apical meristem is where growth hormones are located and distributed to the rest of the plant. One of those growth hormones is to tell the plant to begin flowering.

So if you want to top - do it earlier in VEG or wait to flip to flower until there's a new main stem growing..

Are you being serious look at the second post of pics I put its 3 calxy that pic is so old like 2 weeks ago this is now the whole plant after the topping I did switch like 3 days after the topping tho

Serious about serious.

Topping and going into flower like that you are reducing yields by a good margin.

Just trying to help you out. Do as you will.

 

[Benjisavage35]

I switched the lights after the topping

Ik I was talking about are you serious about not seeing the pistils

So what you think I'm being impatient and overthinking it should I give it a week or so?

 

[bobrown14]

I'm not sure.

You wanna grow a beast stop topping.


This is a beast 20 days into flowering and she's just getting pre-flowers. The lights are at 7' above head high she's already been tied back. No topping.

I would. How long after topping it did you switch it to 12/12?
