I was hoping for that scenario but they're not showing yet and I've got to keep room going.Why even bother taking cuts to show sex? You should be able to sex your plants in veg. You're already @ 4 weeks and they should be close to showing preflowers.
Gotcha. Yes, some strains i've grown show earlier than others. Most i've encountered showed sex by 6 weeks without intervention with a few stubborn exceptions.I was hoping for that scenario but they're not showing yet and I've got to keep room going.
Yea if I let these monsters go 6 weeks I'm going to have more problems than sex determination lol. I intend on rooting one of each of the cuts and pushing the other 2 directly into the flower room on the 11/13 lighting to determine the sex.Gotcha.

Are you planning on flowering the plants, or one of the two cuttings you're taking from each?
I want to take more cuts from the vegging plants so I'm letting them veg out more. If they end up being male then they gotta goHa! Sounds like a solid plan..
Why not just put the plants directly into 12/12 and root/veg all of the clones? Then you can just toss the males (if any) when the plants in flower show sex and just keep the females clones for the next run.
Thats what I'm planning on but I'm only using one cut to determine. The other one I want to veg out for another 4 weeks or so.Ah, I see.. I've never personally tried or had the need to sex an unrooted clone. Why not just give it a shot and see what happens? Put the clones into your flower tent @ 12/12 and use weak indirect lighting and whatever method you use to clone. I'd be curious to see if it works. Ha!
My apologies if i'm missing something.
I used to do clones from seedlings to determine sex way ahead of time. Say within 2 weeks from day one I knew. Then, I had the clever idea of starting the bloom cycle after the 2nd week of sustained vegetation;Greetings fam!!
I'm about ready to take some cuts from regular seed plants. They're into 4 weeks of veg. I plan on taking 2 cuts from both plants. One cut from each is to determine the sex. I've read on there that some will put in a cup of water in the flower tent with the cuts which pushes it to 12/12 and they can tell within 2 weeks time, the sex of the plant. I don't care about the cuts to determine the sex. Once I know, I intend on throwing them away.
Also, what amount of light is preferable in everyone's experience for new cuts? 18hrs on? 20hrs? 24hrs? It'd be a great space saver if I could just put the seedling and cuts dome tray right into the veg room where the lights are set at 18 on/6 off.
Thank you for your suggestions and wisdom everyone!!
