Indica Diablo istrain 6 weeks veg. now flipped to bloom 1st day of second week the growth height has slowed down a lot. Plants only grew about an inch for the week. I removed a lot of leaves around the bud sites above the leaf and still only see stipules and the new leaf bud, I think it's called, can anyone see any signs of what sex this plant is or is the plant still maturing? I have 4 plants. Thanks for your help.

You need to look very closely right at the stem nodes. Start doing a diligent search of every node, especially the older ones, If you see anything that looks like the beginning of the sex organs, take a close up picture and we can help you. Seeing the whole plant is too hard to tell. FYI, While your plants look very healthy and lush, I think they would benefit from a good thinning out. Just my opinion.

I downloaded a microscope app on my phone & it helped a lot with this task. You can snap photos with it too.

I may have started with too many plants as I noticed most of the photos I've seen in other post are one plant and look to be stripped of most leaves to me. I've never topped these plants and I have stopped fimming and pinching off stem leaves last week. I'm only tying down the plants as they grow and exposing the lower buds by trimming the leaves to allow lower bud growth to catch up with the upper growth.
