1st grow,just flipped 12/12

[Mikescottson]

Day 1 8/31,planted in HF soil veged for 7 weeks then flipped to 12/12 on 10/18..So 1 week of flower.One thing is they are still not showing signs of sex!!! I do not know why,I bought em from someone who said they were auto seeds idk think I got got.So I'm guessing they are photos and treating em as such am feeding CaliPro grow and CaliPro bloom AnB phing ro water to 6.5ish also cal mag.they look good just wondering why the long time to show sex???the first strain is NL it's getting big af daily,the smaller one is Gluelato the guy said it's a cross.idk where the seeds company was?

It's not terribly uncommon to see a photo or a fast photo in some genetics, some breeders don't go thru the full process of getting to auto, close is good enough. Just a bit of experience here... genetics are one of the top 3 things needed for a good grow. Bagseed, and unknowns can be a big risk as far as quality or quantity go.
You've made the right choice to flip to 12/12, get some tighter pics, I think there's movement to flower here. Ride it out, plants look good.

Autos take about 3-5 weeks to show sex. Photo periods take about 7-9 weeks.. And even then, some don't show until flipped. Once flipped to 12/12, it should show sex within 7-10 days if the plant was mature at the time of flip.

I think they were mature see I thought they were autos so at the 4th node i topped like day 16 and then had been lsting since and when they never showed sex or popped pistols i figured maybe they are photos and flipped em...

Cannabis plants are considered mature when the nodes start to alternate. Meaning that the nodes no longer grow evenly. Once mature, the nodes will start to alternate. This is true for both photos and autos.

See pic for example.. Lower nodes are even.. Plant isn't (wasn't) mature.. The higher nodes are alternating.. At that point, the plant is mature and should be ready to show sex soon after.

No shit I didn't know that.ok yea the nodes are offset..
