How many weeks from seedling? I’ve waited patiently on mine to show and it took mine until the beginning of the 7th week. I can post a pic of mine if you’d like. Those things are small. ---

When I have seen those 2 tendrils (or whatever) that form an X, I think of a football referee giving a signal for “no balls” 😉 Still too early to tell, but no bad news yet. ---

Thank you so much for all the feedback, they are 8 weeks. Main reason for concern was because of the small, ball like, growth. ---

Are you growing indoors or out If they are 8 weeks old you can switch to 12/12 and you’ll know in a week definitely what sex it is Can you get a total plant pic for me so I can see her At 8 weeks you should definitely be mature enough to flower her How tall is it btw ? ---

Aprox. 18" but very wide, have been on 18/6 from the start. Waiting on my Lights (LED), should be here today. I will get them all set on Saturday and will then go to 12/12. I was thinking it was about time to flower so thanks for the advise. I will get some pics tonight after work. ---
