What do you think?

Yeah! I see. What do you think about the other one? By the shape of IQ 3 I am suspecting that its male or may be its too early to tell.

It is a bit soon to know for sure but I also see the start of pistols.

Something I read, something Nebula wrote, about the stipules crossing. If they do, you might have a female. If they don't, it's probably male.

That's very interesting. I've never heard that before. Something I'm going to have to pay attention to!

I learned that from an old grower friend if leggs are crossed very good chance female. There is another way but it entails peeling back the calyx it's really delicate need fine tweezer large jewlers loupe to view you can see balls inside but like I said takes a surgeon like skill to do it.

From Miss Nebula Mr @SirSmksAlot.
'Some of the time the stipules (green hair-like growths near where pre-flowers show up) will cross each other on female plants. This certainly doesn’t always happen, as you can see from the pics of female pre-flowers on this page, but while girls can go either way, male plants rarely have stipules that cross each other. So although crossed stipules cannot be used definitively as a way to identify female plants, it can be a small clue to help guide you when you’re not sure. For example, the following female pre-flower doesn’t have a pistil, but the long thin shape combined with the crossed stipules help indicate that this plant is a girl. Whenever in doubt, wait a week and look again!'

Crossed legs can also be hermie. One leg crossing and the other straight, just confused.

The stipules are crossing in all 4 plants. The IQ 2 plant is definitely female. I saw pistils coming out today. The IQ 3 plant, no visible changes. Also while LST-ing I did damage one good growing plant(IQ 1), it is recovering good for now. I will post pics this weekend. Have been busy for all month. 2020 is coming in hot!

This is my grow-zone! I damaged the bottom right plant; cut its head off because of the plant ties. I have put two in fabric pots and two in plastic planters. I just want to see how it works out. This bagseed grow is particularly for the trial and error. After this the climate is going to be a challenge. There is no way I can utilize air conditioner in this space also its a stealth grow. It gets really hot in summer. Sometimes goes to 40 C. I am not sure how I am going to counter that! The story so far!

Hey all, An update and need some suggestions; I am thinking about flipping the switch in the coming week(5 days). That will be total 6 weeks of veg. The reason I want to flip is that the tallest lady is 12", others are 9-10". The lights needs to be kept 22-30" as per manufacturer in flowering stage. Total height I have is 63". All things considered, it gives me barely 24" of total space that I can utilize. Now keeping the stretch in my mind I want to flip at the earliest possible. What are you guys views on this?
How will the height effect the total yield and quality? These ladies were initially given some LST but I stopped after I accidentally damaged one baby. Although I can see benefits of the LST I did before. The plants have grew some colas from all the way down to close to the top. I noticed some stems(secondary) are slimy. Will buds grow on them? I also topped one plant which was growing fast four days ago and also to let other plants catch up to the height.

You can use any number of thing to raise shorter plants. Training taller ones is also good. Don't be nervous about bending stems. You can repair anything with tape and a gentile hand. They are well healing plants.

Hey guys, How're you all? I noticed a weird thing in my plants. The pre-flowers in some places are much like leaf. One pre flower has a leaf sticking out of it. This is on all plants but all plants also have one calyx with pistils out. Is this kind of mutation or these plants are suspected hermies?

That's normal looking she's fine that's going to swell up later on. And your scrog looks real good.
