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.
