I know that some people take cuttings from plants in veg and then force the cuttings to flower so that they know the sex of the older vegging plants, but...

i want more plants than i currently have so i would rather just keep my cuttings in veg (say one cutting from each plant so that my number of plants is doubled) without flowering them, and then when the original set of plants flower and have been sexed i can throw away the cuttings from any males. I was planning on labelling my original plants 1, 2, 3 and so on, and cuttings from number 1 would be labelled "1a" and if two were taken the second would be "1b".

this way i could double my number of plants for the second crop, and as long as i check the originals everyday i'll be able able to remove them and also will know the sex of the second lot of plants which is more important to me as i dont mind waiting for a better yeild.

So effectivly i'd end up flowering my original plants so id know which cuttings to keep so that i have in the end alot more female plants to grow, all from cuttings, which i dont mind at all.

Plaes let me know what you think of the idea and please let me know if im unaware of any more benefits of flowering cuttings, i can only think of the obvious that if a male popped up in the cuttings and possibly pollinated the others then it would only pollinate the cuttings not the main grow, but as my flower room is right next to my veg compartment it would still pollinate them all, so i thought i might as well watch them like a hawk and just wait and see.

any help would be much appreciated!
thanks!
