4 weeks is fine for veg, If your plant is big enough for your liking. Remember that the plant usually double or triples in size when flowering, so if you dont have a lot of room, or a lot of light penetration, keep it short and bushy.

You'll switch whenever your plant is half the size you want it to be(because it will double it's size in the flower state)...you'll start to see white hairs(if female) or pollen sacks(if male) within a couple of weeks after switching to 12/12. When you see the sex of the plant, either keep flowering if its female(white hairs)..or kill it if its a male(pollen sacks). Then a couple weeks after the sex of the plant appears(assuming its female), you will start to see the buds forming.

No, you'll see the buds for after you switch to 12/12, if it is a female.
Here is what will happen: You veg it for how ever long you want, then switch to 12/12 and after 2 or so weeks of 12/12, you'll see the sex. After you see the sex, it will be another short wait till you start seeing the buds... everything happens after you switch to 12/12

If it was me then there is no way i would risk have males and females growing side by side,if there is a decent stem that you can get a clone of each plant,then do so.Clone them and get them rooted then has soon has you see any white of a root put on 12/12 off,this is the only way that you will be certain that the plants you are growing are female.Then just dump the males and keep the females,also keep any female clone and flower them at the same time no use in wasteing a good plant...................................tyke

c'mon paul. a person switches to 12 hours of light, 12 hours of dark WHENever HE wants the plant to bloom. get it?
you can veg ( keep it vegative stage) as long as you want to. no buds will form durin this time.
when you feel the plant is large / ready enough for the lightswitch a.k.a Bloomforce you simply cut back on light hours . after the plant is left in bloom mode it will slowly start forming BUDS. this usually occurs after 2 weeks give or take.
you can also grow a plant with 12/12 lighting from start if this complicated lightschedule confuses you. but THEN you'll get much smaller plants and buds.
anywho let me break it down.
24, 20, 18,16 hours of light a day is to trick the plant that its summer. do that until you think the plant is big enough to hold fruit (buds)
switch to 12 hours of light a day to trick the plant that winter is coming. tha plant will then begin to produce pistils and buds so the male plant can pollinate it, and it can live on through the seeds it will produce as all weeds do. live to survive.
but you do not want a male pollinating you shit cause you want seedfree buds.
if none of us helped you figure it out, read a book or something.
i cant explain it easier
