Sexing
you cant tell a sex untill ya flower so put them under 12/12 and by week 2 you should be able to tell if ya are wanting to reveg just change the light cycle back to 18/6 and it will revert back in to the veg cycle without any probs but ya cant reveg once the bud starts getting big i think this will stress out the plant and turn a feamle into a male so try and do it in the first couple of weeks
cheers hope this helps

ROck copper..
A plant will eventually show its sex.. regardless of the light cycle....
Usually this will be between 4-10 weeks....
There is really no reason to sex your plants now... just grow them to the size that you wish.. probably10-15 inches... and then switch them to 12/12
they will double in size over the next 2-3 weeks... after you switch to 12/12...
they will show their sex after 7-14 days.....
and 6-8 weeks later you will be harvesting!!!!
You can not tell the sex of a plant by the number of blades..
: )
happy growing!!!!!!!!

Take a clone off each one and mark what plant it came from. Root the clone and once you have roots showing switch it to 12/12 and sex the clone. That way you don't stress the other plants and you can still weed out the males during your veg cycle. It only takes about 3 weeks from clone to show sex so you have plenty of time.
Work smarter not harder.
