How do I sex my plants? I am getting ready enter the flowering stage for two of my plants.. I will be going from a 24/7 lighting time to a 12/12, My question is.... Is there any way at this point to maximize the chance of them becoming females and minimize chance of become males?

Look at the armpit of the branch...where the branch grows out of the main stem. Look to see if there are white hairs growing or balls with no hair.
Females are pretty much pre-programed at this point. The only way to change them is stress and that would cause males. So just give them love. Look in the FAQs there are post there with pic's

Well, SuperThrive helps to increase the odds of female flower production in normal plants. It seems to work the same with cannabis, save the occasional male that comes once in a blue moon.

Well, if its male, its male, and if its female, it can go hermie, but not male as someone said up there^

Basically, use superthrive and make sure they are getting no stress.

Temps
Lights
Water
Stretching..

If you treat them with extreme love and care, they'll be good, and if they are males then you know there was nothing you could have done.

Goodluck

Yes, thats what your meant to do. The thing is, if you pull the male balls off as soon as they come out you'll be ok, and its gunner make bud so theres no point in wasting it. It just wont be as much bud.

If the bastard goes hermaphrodite on you, you can try Dutch Master Reverse.

Yes; and if you get it early no pollen will get out and you won't have seeds either.
