when or how will i know if my seedlings are male or female?

sorry, would like to append my post, removing "bag seed", and replacing with good seed. hehe

Good thing you already know what strain you're using. That will help you. You might be able to do some research to see what favorable traits peoplea are finding in that strain. That way you'll have an idea what to be looking for.

Ah ok if you're willing to keep a mother then you have many options. What I like to do is grow out the seed, send all the plants to 12/12, kill males after they show, take clones from all females (recording which initial female they came from), and put those clones (back) into a 18/6 or 24/0 cycle. Meanwhile, I grow out the initial females to harvest. While growing out this first run, I perform no topping, trimming, etc. I want to see what I have to work with, "raw". At harvest, rate the females for the important qualities. Find the best plant(s), and then designate the corresponding clone plant as a mother.

Since you are working with bag seed, you want to grow out as many plants as you can, to increase your chances of finding a "special mother".

There are other ways to do things of course.
