Hi all I want to sex 4 beatiful little plants (1 Critical Mass from MR.Nice and 3 AK-47 from SeriousSeeds) and I wonder if I can cut a clone from each plant and put them directly to 12/12 light cycle, even if they has not developed roots yet I just need that they show some sign of their sex, then I can keep the mum(s? hopefully.... ) (still vegging) for taking more clonesWaht do you think about it? | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | im not sure - my first though tis the clones will be very weakly and prone to sickness but then again if your going to kill them after sexing i guess it doesnt matter as long as they live strong enough to show sex but then will stress cause what would be female to herm. i dont know - im just thinking out loud - better you hear from others ![]()

![]() | Because when you put a plant to 12/12 you cannot put it again in a veg without stressing the plant. More, You loose a considerable amount of time I have a flowering room actually working with a big sativa, so I would to put my clones there Meanwhile the mums continue to vegging Quote:
Yea I don't need to keep those clones alive once I know their sex. My guess is that the stress caused from the 12/12 cycle will not kill the clones.... or immediately lead them to hermie | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Yes you can, its a good way to find the sex of the mothers without stressing them... Its probably going to take a little while for the clones to show sex... I figure they'l have to develop roots and start growing first, I've never actually tried it but I've read of it being done and know someone who's tried it thread moved to propagation...

dave--Yeah that's how I've sexed plants, just take a cutting and put it into a glass of water and into the flowering room. Within 2 weeks they sure should show sex, it's usually around 5-7 days for me and I know what sex they are. Happy Growing Alleycat
