16 days after flipping, no sex yet!

[ms48130]

I flipped a photoperiod to bloom 16 days ago (13 hrs/day darkness after 8 weeks in veg), and still have no growth that is a tell for sex (it was a feminized seed buy, so _should_ be OK). This is part of my first grow AND my only photoperiod plant. The autos are doing well, probably 3 weeks from harvest, but this photo is causing me some concern. Should it take this long to identify sex, or _any_ kind of flowering growth?

do you have any light leaks in your tent?

I'm fairly certain no, as when I'm in the room with the tent (but outside of tent) with all room lights off, I cannot see any of the 150W LED light inside of the tent visible from the outside.

I did have a power strip that had a lit power switch (now taped) as well as LEDs for timer-switched vs non-timer-switched outlets (also now taped) There's also a video camera in there which when wifi connected has a blue LED, but I only check that right around the time of lights-on (checking to see if lights are on at that moment).

So i know this is confusing but here we go, after closer inspection of your first pic if i zoom in on the branch that you took your second pic of.. i think i can see that she has sexxed and is a female so she is just in her strech faze photoperiod plant take 2-3 weeks to transitions into flower just keep her 11-13 or 12-12 She will stop vegging soon and fully transition into flower! Good looking plant what are you feeding?

Are you checking for sex in the correct place? None of these pics are of the nodes where sex would show.. There are a handful of factors that play into how long a photoperiod takes to show sex. Pot size, grow method ect.. Plants that end up with several branches often take longer to show sex. The branches need time to strengthen to be able to support the buds.. The best way to put it, is that it will show once it's mature enough and ready to support its own weight.. Shouldn't be an issue with a fem seed. But here is a pic of where you should be looking to check for sex...
