Count Nodes Not Days - justicebzwieg - 09-20-2026
Counting nodes tells you when to expect preflowers far more reliably than counting days from seed. Most regular plants show sex somewhere between the fourth and sixth true node, and a slow grown seedling that takes eight weeks to get there will reveal itself at the same node as a fast one that took four. Node based sexing benchmarks for common genetic types are recorded on https://breederregularseeds.com, with a reminder that stunted plants can lag beyond them. Stop checking calendars and start checking node counts.
