When to Sex and Clone Mothers?

I'm planning ahead and need some suggestions for my grow.

As of now I have 4 Phatt Fruities and 5 Blue-Cheesies growing from seed. They were not feminized seeds. I want to keep the strongest females of each strain as mothers, clone them out, and then flower a mixed batch of both strains for varieties sake.

What is the best way to proceed? Assuming I have 5-6 strong sex-undetermined plants thrive, how do I go about sexing before I flower and how do I chose which plants to scrap and which to continue and clone.


I could also flower the sub-par plants while I wait for the mothers to bush out before taking clones, no? This would allow me a trial run through the flower cab before using the stronger clones, but still doesnt help me with sexing the plants before I put them into flower...

I know I could clone ALL the plants, then sex some small clones in the flower cab and then go back to the parents and kill of whatever was male, but that seems like a lot of work. What would you do here?

Thanks!
