    My seeds have germed and some sprouts are 3 inches out and others are just coming through now. I have all together under 2 x 40 watt full spectrum floros. Now do is it OK to wait till they are all at least 3 inches to sex them or will it be too late and they will already pollinate? Also I am trying to have them ready to go outside in mid May, how long can I keep them under these lights as they are growing very fast?
    Thanks all for your help.

    you should wait until they are mature (show alternating nodes) which happens by 6-8 weeks.


    or you can take clones around week 4-5 and sex them. they should show sex around the time the mothers/fathers are mature so you know you'll only have females. plus you need at least another clone or two to keep the strain going. might as well take one more and sex it.

    They won't flower at 3", they have to reach sexual maturity first.

    I appreciate that, but I am not trying to flower them. I just want get them big enough to sex out and maybe even clone, and put them outside in May for the summer.
