after you switch to 12/12 maybe a week or 2 you will see sex. good luck

You need to stick to 12/12 for the duration of the flowering.

[iblodro4220]

but i can flower as of now????

[cazro]

you can start flowering anytime you want to. The longer you veg, the better results you'll get. I've heard of people switching back to veg after a couple weeks of 12/12. I've also heard of covering lower branches for 12 hours to force those to sex. If you're running out of room you could LST if it's not too late.

i dont know about that when is to late and what does that do how do you do it???

Well i've often wondered the question...if you 12/12 and remove males is it safe to reveg for awhile to fill in the empty space in the grow room...i would love to know cuz i recently had 12 plants and recieved only 2 females...does 12/12 then revegging stress plants too much?

I can assure you that you can go from flowering back to veg once you see if it's a boy or girl. BUT you can't let it flower past a couple days once it starts to show.
Best way to pick out the strongest mother for clones.
When you put her back to veg, She will continue to show pre-flowers for ever, with no hermies. (at least not im my case) I kept her for 2 years in ebb/flow! (Clone Monster)
