Usually it takes 7-21 days for a plant to show sex once it is mature enough in 12/12. A plant can be re-vegged after showing sex but you will likely lose several weeks of growing time while the plant is in shock and stress.
When your plants show sex, just clone a bottom branch from a couple of your females. Thats your best way to go to get a good line going and your yeild on you first grow won't suffer.
