I've read a little bit about taking a cutting off a new plant and flowering that to figure out the sex. I've got 4 good looking plants about 24 days from popping out of the soil. I have 5-6 nodes on them and topped them all 4 days ago. I'd like to get the males out as soon as possible to focus on the females.

Can I take a cutting of each and flower it to tell me the sex? Do I need to root that cutting before trying to flower it? As in, soak in water, use rooting gel, put in a growing medium and humidity dome for a week. Then pull it out and flower it? OR can I take a cutting, soak it in water, stick it in a medium and just leave it in the flowering chamber? Better yet, can I just take a cutting and stick it in a dixie cup in my flowering chamber?

Not sure if any of hese methods work, at this point if I have to root my cuttings, by the time they get roots and then flower for a week, I'll probably have preflowers on my plants. I'm gonna have to start LSTing way before then!

Thanks for your help guys.
