Compared to clones as well as feminized seeds, regular seeds are a whole other monster. I got into some regular seeds last year and got my feet wet for sure. The way I count weeks maybe different, per my reading and researching most growers call the week that you flip your lights to be a transition time. So I start counting weeks of flowering after that transition week. After a week in actual flowering I examine those top flowers for pistils which is tricky. Secondly I look at the nodes below the top flower as those highest nodes are going to be more mature. A male plant will have several small, cylindrical pollen sacs vertically risen from the node. Per my current grow there was around three pollen sacs per node.
Like someone had said early in a post, you could clone to sex. I used to wonder why I couldn't see the signs late in veg or with in the transition period. A week or two into flower is well ahead of pollen dropping.
It is difficult to let your eyes adjust to the LED, by the time they do it is probably really unhealthy. I want some of those LED glasses, but they are kind of pricey. I will give in eventually.
