Dude! If they are green and thriving, enjoy! Whatever you’re doing, keep it up. When they are healthy you can start tweaking things. Lowering lights gives them more juice, raising them a little might induce a little stretch. Or just keep on keepin on ---

After changing over to flower how long does it take to show male or female? I started the 12/12 light last night how long will it take before I know if they are female or males? I was looking at mine and it looks like one has already has a few white hairs here is a pic it not the clearest but best I could get ![0918181042](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/0/4/04c93ab95e3a42deecb07ed3ef162e6f41ade46c.jpeg) ---

Sure, it’s possible to see a few pistils before that, but it’s hard to tell from that pic. I think I see a pistil or two. ---

Those look like girlie parts, but they are all green. When they pop your eye will catch the white color difference. Especially if you get a flash pic right at lights out. ---

You’re getting a magnesium deficiency, just add some Cal Mag to your watering. Could also be potassium, but I don’t think so. ---

Lots of people use that brand, that will work just fine. All you have to do is follow the recommended dosage on the bottle. I would use it every time you water. ---
