shouldn't you have known the sex before you flower?

usually you need to se the 'pre-flowers' before you even call it the flowering cycle the 12/12 is just the photoperiod or in other words the hours your setting the lights too...... if you didnt see the pre-flowers first they aren't mature enough to go right into male or female...
If you did see pre-flowers it could take as long as 2 weeks before you see anything significant good luck

alright im confused i thought that if you started from seeds, it was best to veg for about a month at least, then change the light cycle to 12/12 (which is what i did a week ago) and usually they showed sex within a couple days. I knew about the preflowing but i thought you had to use a magnifying glass to do that. Oh, i vegged for about a 6 weeks.

i think you are going to have wait a couple more weeks til they show... i think its just to early for them to show.

thats if you want a smaller plant how big are they right now.......?
You can go 12/12 right from seed. All you are doing by going 12/12 is inducing flowering when the plant is ready. At 1 month veg you should have no problem flowering. It will take a few weeks to show, give it time. I am in veg for 15 days total then going to flower because I like you have limited vertical room. Just give it time, they will show what they are in time.

No topping or trimming during the flowering stage. Ya can trim a little but not much.
I never top and think its over rated.
