I'd been unable to determine plants sex at 8-9wks, so against my gut reaction, I changed to 12/12.. it took almost 6 days with multiple flowering sites, but they aren't tall enough to finish them out. About 14" tall; I'd read somewhere I could resume veg cycle after getting males out, I was running short on space..2 are full and bushy, and this is a small grow so I needed to rid myself of 4 males. Is this gonna ruin them? They've been back on 18x 1 day and all had visible new growth this AM. They have 6-8 preflowers each, and it took so long to get this far RIGHT, can some-one inform me as to what's next please?

Well, you can only sex a plant after running 12/12 lights for about 7-10 days.
Then you can throw the males out, and generally once that big, I would just continue the rest into flowering.
I don't know how long they've been back vegging (18/6 or so) but if its only been a day or two, I would cut the the tops till you have the size you want flower them, and take the tops.... and again depending on their size, I would root them and turn them into clones.
