Not true at all. GK is right a soft tissue stem roots faster then an old hard stem.

To answer the other question.

The best and quickest way to sex a plant is to take a few clones as early in the vegetation cycle as you can. They will not be very large and that is just fine. You root the first of the clones numbering each one so you know what plant they came from. Once they are rooted you switch them to 12/12 to flower them. You will then know the sex of the plants in the main room in just a few weeks. They are still in vegetation cycle and still growing and now you know the males and can remove them before they even show their sex. This will save you trouble, space and the chance of pollen getting on your females.

Now that you know the sex of your plants you can cut your real clones just before you switch them into then flower cycle.
