i have a few different questions that have been lingering around in my head for the ppast while.

1. is it too late to start growing now? i live in the desert in california to be exact the coachella valley/riverside countylook at question 4.
2.how long on an average does it take for the plant to sex.
3.is it true marijuana plants can get pollinated by other plants of different species.
4.its a 110 degrees 10 hours out of the day where i live would it be safe to put a 2 week old plant outside
5.what if i sprouted like hundereds of plants in a few differant months time let each of them grow for a couple of days pull them and save them untill i had like a half pound of sprouts all dried up and dead of course, do u think all those sprouts would make decent hash oil.

1. Pretty much. Most plants will begin to flower in the next 2-3 weeks. This isn't long enough for a plant to mature from seed.
2. Usually around 4-8 weeks. Really just depends on strain.
3.Can a dog get a human pregnant? NO
4.You should make sure it doesnt dry out. It could be too much heat, may not. Let them start in some shade first.
5.To get half a pound of tiny seedlings would require millions of seeds. Each seedling wieghs like half a gram...If that. Plus, seedlings really dont contain much of anything except future potential.

but what if i did start a plant and it sprouted 3 days ago what would happen most likely. this is referring to question 1

Well, in my expierience, plants WILL NOT flower until they are mature enough. Ive not once seen a plant with buds before it showed its sex. Either in real life, or on any website. People do 12/12 from seed, but I really dont even notice the plant start flowering till its mature.

So, chances are your plant will grow fine. But it may not start flowering for a month late. Besides doing it soon, it may just wait till the end of august, or even september. This leads to the crop not finishing before the season ends. Wich just means premature bud.

what does that ratio 12/12 ur using mean?

stoney-trees

the indoor farmers flowering times. lol

Indoor growers use a lighting schedule of 12 hours on, 12 hours off to "copy" nature. This allows plants to flower. Some plants need certain amounts of darkness to flower, and pot is one of them.

I was reffering to people "flowering" from seed. Skipping the vegative growth phase basically. I think it doesnt make a difference and is pointless. Like I said, ive yet to see a plant flower 12/12 from seed. Why? My guess is because they arent mature enough to do so.

You can get them to flower early like this...but youre also entering hermie cuntry there. Some do switch their P.P to 12/12 earlier in the growth cycle for the sole purpose of sexing their plants, only to reveg and finish up to maturity.

an added bonus, I currently have a plant that was on flowering photoperiod...I killed the growth tip. All it does is sit there and "leaf" lol. Basically what I'm saying is an injury could cause them to shift to a dormant phase, no production or loss, but the only recourse from which is to reveg. Thats tons of fun...not!!! Not only will your plants pheno (outwardly expressed genetic traits based upon environmental variables) quite possibly change, all subsequent growth will be of the subsequent generation...read up in the genetics forum for more on this.

12 hours on/ 12 hours off.

on this site you will see the photoperiod notated with the "on" period first, "off" second
