Sexing prior to flowering

PrideOfCucamonga Registered on Dec-13-2006 More User Info Message #43595 posted by PrideOfCucamonga (Info) December 18, 2006 17:07:53 ET My question: Is it possible to find out the sex of a plant before to starts to flower? I have 4 plants w/ unknown sex and i am about to take some cuttings. I don't want to have to clone a bunch and then destroy them when i find out they are males. thanks for the help

Then I wait a week to make sure I have good clones of the test seed. Then I take the test plant and put them in to bloom. That way you have a head start with growing clones. Also you have some test pot to find out which seed produced a good item/strain/example. You would be supprised to find out one seed produces a better plant. It usualy takes about a year to get a good production going. The reason is that one seed may do things different, never figured that out. The same brand, same seed, same time, same ph , same ppm. You allways need to put them in to 12/12 to make sure they are what they are. Muther nature is a whore and changes for her favors, the same a the tooth fairy, Easter bunny and Santa Clause.

I've been able to determine sex between 15-19 days. The girls I leave to finish ... the boys gets a one way trip upstairs along with their donors. ;)
