I want to put my plants into flower mode as soon as I can so I can sex them and then I'm going to put them back in veg mode once I know which ones are female. I understand this will add time onto my grow and I won't be able to harvest until later but that's fine. When is the earliest I can put them into flower so I can sex them?
take clones off of each plant, and put them into a seperate room and put them on 12/12. and then you'll know which plants are females
Oh cool! That's a great idea! So as soon as I take my cuttings from the mother plants I can immediately put them under 12/12? or do I have to wait until they grow some roots before I put them under 12/12?
you can put them on 12/12 when you're cloning them, it'll take time for flowers to show anyway, so by then they'll have rooted. depending on what Cloning method you use of course.
you can reveg a plant... it's not unheard of. it'll just stress the plant abit and increase it's chances of being a Hermy.

yea i figured you would do that to have a mother plant after you harvest it, and not plan on flowering it again
I've decided to clone the plants and keep a mother plant once I find out it's a female from the clone. This is my first time cloning because I never had the room to clone it before. I always had a tiny little space before and had to grow from seed to bud and start all over again. I'd like to create a sog so wish me luck. Thanks for the advice.
