stressful indeed. instead, take a few cuttings from ea. plant and root them. then put the cuttings into 12/12 and you'll be able to determine gender

i wpuldnt you can put the plants into a shock and you dont want to risk losing them overall.. id just wait it out..
thats why when i do a grow i always plant a few extra plants to accommodate for the males that ill probably get.

I did it once as an experiment with an extra plant and it yielded the same as the other "normally" grown plants. Anyway, if the reason is to sex the plant, covering the branch may be a better idea.
