Yeah, you could bring em' inside and 12/12 them till they show signs of sex. But that's a pain if you're outdoor growing, since you would have to revert them back to vegetative growing which takes another 2 weeks. This will decrease the size of growth, ultimatly stunted bud size. If you're growing outdoors, leave em' out there till the days become shorter, thus, telling your plants to start reproducing. (Male=balls and females=pistols or hairs).Since my plants are only like 3-4 weeks old i dont know the sex. im actually a bit confused about this. Do i have to do 12/12 for a bit to get the sex or will the sun do that and make it flower to?

Unfortunatly, you need to be patient and wait for them to show sex naturally. I know it sucks when you are hoping for female and the 3-4' plant turns male and you need to chop it down. But that's the risk we take as growers.
Buy femenized seeds next time!
1-2 weeks depending on strain. you're better off leaving outside.So say i want to do it myself (which i dont) id have to bring it inside for 12hrs of dark then back outside for 12hrs of light. How long would i do that for so i can tell the sex because it wont go right into flowering if i did that would it?
