Are you growing it indoors? You need to graduate the light downwards from veg to flower. If you cut straight from veg to flower timing, they seem to have a high percentage of having hermie traits. I have one that just threw nanners around 30+ days that I put from 18/6 straight to 11/13. Beautiful plant.Tropics, morglie and anyone else’s who’s grown/growing Purple Satellite.
I have three at 20 days from seeds popping. Tonight I discovered this (see photo). A male flower at 20 days?! This seems awfully unusual. tropics, is this "typical" for the strain? Well, I guess better at 20 days than feeding her, er him, for 6-8 weeks.
Yup, indoors. Currently running 18/6. Not planning on lowering the schedule for at least two more weeks, when I switch to flower. tropics explained the lighting issue. I planned on lowering the schedule similar to what you’ve done. I’m confident my plant is a male, just surprised at how soon it showed.Are you growing it indoors?

I'm going to try again, using my breeding room to lower the time by half an hour a night. That'll take two weeks, and then I can slap it under my quantum boards and let them take off.
Hello gentleman and ladies, yes you need to graduate the lights down very slowly, Satellite was adapted to flower outdoors very early at latitude 42 degrees . I have never seen her herm outdoors under natural light graduation but will almost always put out male flowers on the tips of the buds which is a clear indicator that she is stressed from to abrupt of a light change. Fortunately being on the tips they can be plucked out with tweezers. There is cultural info on Seed Finder on light graduation regime for indoors. Many people have had great luck following those guidelines, but she was truly bred and promoted as an outdoor cultivar.Are you growing it indoors?

day off today?
im going to be real careful with these that Malawi is already showing signs of sensitivity those are starting in straight out of the bag roots 707 nothing added they do good in that soil for a bit but its weak soil so they'll be ok in those cups for another week then into a 1 gal and some tea!
there is a god yey penny!
Thanks for the heads up on that Penny. I have Ace malawi and have been planning on popping a couple this fall. It turns out my soil mix is pretty heavy on the nitrogen. You may have just saved me a headache. I'll remedy that before I pop any of them. Thanks.
Hey @tropics: I grew a Lebanese landrace x Nepalese landrace outdoors. Bloomed the earliest of anything I've ever grown: early July. I figured it was due to the Lebanese lineage, because they can bloom early.Hello gentleman and ladies, yes you need to graduate the lights down very slowly, Satellite was adapted to flower outdoors very early at latitude 42 degrees .

Below Satellite with proper graduation under light.
