Hi all,

After many years growing, I’m doing my first grow from seeds. How soon after switching to 12/12 should I be able to clearly identify the male plants?

It also depends on the age/maturity of the plant. The earlier you flip from seed, the longer it normally takes. I usually wait till the branching starts off setting.

2/3 weeks.
If you wait until 2 or 3 weeks after switching to 12/12, you will definitely be able to identify males a lot easier, but you also run the risk of pollen sacs opening and releasing pollen. You should be able to discern a male plant around 1 week after switching to 12/12. Positive vibes...
