Hi YES i read the FAQ and it only had 1 method that seemed old to me.putting a bag over a branch making it go 12/12 . just hard with times as well.

I have my seedling sprouted and showing leaves, What is the best and fastest and safest way to determin sex ??

ive heard to grow it 3 weeks take a clone off each and label then put on 12/12 for 2 weeks to get the sex , man that seems like a lot of time for this.

the other one was when the roots are at a good level throw it strait to flower ones it showes sex put it back to veg , but thats gotta stress it bad ay?

so yeah please any one with any better faster crazzier ways PLEASE let me know.

What are your objectives with this plant? When do you want to flower it, not just determine sex?

Dude definitly clone her, when you put a plant into flower to see it's sex then put it back into veg it has to recover for a week so you get barely any growth, with clones your plant just keeps on going.

I was wondering about this. I want to take clones from my BB's that are a month old but I have to wait for the branches to develop. I was thinking about taking clones once I start flowering as soon as I find the fems., then just let them keep flowering. I was wondering if my clones once cut from the budding plant will still be good to veg. anyone?

yeah jonny . as long as you go back to 18/6 it will take a week or so and revert back to veg status.
then you have a good mom to clone all your future grows. thank the lord for cloning lmao

Excellent advice to ID sex. To CONTROL or CHANGE sex (Yes, it is possible), it is VERY complicated. You must control elements on a PPM basis. If you have the equipment, and the patience, let me know. Otherwise, ID as everyone said, and eventually you'll have a nice mother...
