Again with more general statements and nothing useful.........

Plants dont show sex in veg unless you cover them up so part or all of the plant gets 12/12 of light.......... And then that's called flower, not veg, even if your "faking it" in veg by covering up a lower branch, you're still putting the plant in flower mode.

Hate to keep ragging on you pilgram but you keep making posts with non factual information.......... Keep it real and research it bro ;)

24 hours of light is veg light. Anything over 12 hours of light in a 24 hour period is considered veg mode. So, as with all plants, put em in flower and then weed out the males. If you dont want to do this process next time just grab some feminized seeds................. good luck

Ummm i dont know where in the hell ur getting ur info but u dont cover up the plant all you do is give the plant 12 hrs of darkness and 12 hrs of light for like 2 weeks then look at the nodes of the plants or where the stems meet the main shoot you will see either little balls or lil white hairs impossible to miss em

There are always outliers, you are correct. The vast majority of strains fall within my mentioned boundaries though.

/facepalm

Learn to read. If you cover a lower branch giving it 12 hours of dark, then 12 hours of light, you can keep the rest of the plant in veg mode if you simply want to determine sex without trying to veg the entire plant. You basically told me I was wrong, then told the OP to do the exact same thing I said. Good one :) :)

Yea, but try convincing someone to veg a plant for 6 weeks to determine sex. At 6 weeks I'd just clip a clone and toss it in flower to see what its sex is instead. :) If the clone shows balls, toss the 6 weeker in veg out or harvest it for pollen...........

Not getting into this fray, but here is a valueble link for you to read. This should answer most question and is good to keep handy for referrence. The most important thing you will learn about growing your babies, and this forum can be the most wonderful place to learn or a nightmare by accepting incorrect advice. In the words of Neal Boortz "never believe anything I say unless you know it yourself to be the truth", in other words ask and look it up.
There is enough misinformation in this thread to startle most veteran growers, so please take the time to research, ask google, read and study, just like school or work.
Welcome to the world of plant growing
