growing for another few weeks might not be ideal if your room size wont allow for it. you could just stay with the 12/12 and force them to flower and just remove the males accordingly this would keep them alil smaller to

ok think ill do that they are in 6 inch perlite rich soil pots, not a fan of hydro in a 4 foot by two foot area with 1000 watts of lighting and some superfans. and security like the white house. Can only grow so big in 6 inch containers

Yes you can but it will slow things down while the plant(s) revert back to vegetative state, probably two weeks or more. Often by that time you'll have seen preflowers anyway. I only do it if I want a clone mother - put a few in 12/12 and as soon as you see sex put them back to veg. Males almost always show first. This keeps my small veg area less crowded.

Agree longer you veg bigger the yield but vegging doesnt have anything to do with sex, They sex when you flower or 12/12

That's not true. Plants will start to show pre-flowers after a couple of months or so of vegging.

So at this age how long on 12/12 to sex?

At two weeks it will likely take two more weeks to show sex but that depends on the strain.

I have some haze that takes over two weeks to show even after five weeks of veg. Pure sativa can be that way...
