I'm interested in how you pro micro growers do it with regs packs of seeds. Do you pre flower to determine sex before transplanting to the final container ?

My first indoor grow this season i didnt top or lst and i had pistils after 34 days from sprout. Let veg another week then upot to flower.
Had a couple fails being males but show sign after 12 12. Another one back in april i vegged for 10 weeks no sign of sex til i switched to 12 12 ended up being a male.
From sprout til 14-18 days in a solo cup with seed starting mix upot to 1 gal in ffof special blend for about 4 to 6 weeks then upot to 3 gal for flower. Usually see pistils after 10 days. My current grow its been 14 days and finally start showing pistils slowly but surely

I'm in a small space also 2x2.5 tent, I've been doing Jiffy pellets-solo cups to 3gal pots. Jiffy pellets and solo cups are done in a dome out f the tent. I imagine I could put my seedling light to 12/12 before transplant to sex them out.

Hmm never thought about that. 12/12 from seed and once sex shows throw on the veg hours. Thats brillliant

Let them flower and reveg? Would be to crazy for me, and to stressful for my plants (as far as I can imagine ).

Till now I was topping from 6 to 3 nodes, and let the cut root. To get a fast sex, and because I need small plants, I put the original seed plant into flower after 3-4 weeks of veg. Males get thrown out, and the small ladies will find a place somewhere in my perpetual.

But now I changed my system, and I read a post here in the forum. This guy puts his clones just into a glass of water inside the flower room, and thats enough for them to show sex before they die. So thats what I do next, train the seedlings properly, and use the clone to sex, instead of using the seedling to sex, and the clone to train. Guess I could save like atleast 3 weeks this way!

Edit: I forgot the most important! You have a nice cab dude, like you said, micro ftw have a nice grow!
