So I am researching everything I can before I even plant my seeds, but everyone knows all the rumors that exisit about how to tell if you have male or female seeds..so on and so forth but what I want to know is once the plant has sprout when can you start sexing the plant? 3 weeks maybe? And how soon does the male start to try to pollenate the female plants?
Thanks!

After your plant has fully vegged ie;sexually mature, you can put her 12/12 and in about 10-14 days you'll see evidence of sex. plenty of time from id'ing a male before it will pollinate. as soon as you see seed just remove carefully, no problem. the best way is wait till you can take cuttings, clone, root and sex the cutting to determine what your plant is. the cuttings assume the mothers age and are ready to flower as soon as they root...about 2 weeks.

Its gonna take more like 4-6 weeks of growing before they show any "Preflowers". Its super easy to tell which is which when they show. MJ plants are about the only ones in the plant kingdom that show sex so differently between male and female. I can spot either from 10 feet away without even really looking at the plant. Its that easy.

Males will NEVER produce seeds, never never never. they only produce pollen. Only a pollinated female is capable of making seeds.
