Mine usually take 5-7 wks under 20/4 before they show sex. It's easy to mistake the early signs, so always wait and be absolutely certain to make any decisions. I started several seeds on March 28th and I'm just now getting some indication of sex.
You may notice that the branches begin to grow alternately on the stem, instead of directly opposite each other, as the plant is reaching sexual maturity. This is when you should be able to sex them, and it means they're ready for 12/12 if you want to flip them. As far as sexing, it's very easy once you've seen them develop a few times and you're observant of the different look of the male and female pre-flowers. I've been doing this since 1985 and I still guess wrong sometimes- until they definitely show, don't do anything drastic!

Thanks man.. mine are almost a month so I hope they show soon.. the top branches are just starting to alternate now

Is it ok to have plants inside until the longest day of the year, then put them out that day??

I've heard you can put a cutting in water and set it in the 12/12 area and will will show sex in a week or so, never tried it.
