OK, need ideas. I have these 10 regular bb hashplants I need to sex. They are about 1 month old. I don't need them sexed right away.

What's the easiest way to sex them, without impregnating my girls in week 3 of flower, and without using a lab?

I could put them in a spare bathroom with natural light only, which is around 12 hours now....Or I could take a clone from each and sex those, etc.

Cuttings under 12/12 in a cup of water

I do like @Rsawr suggested if I'm in a hurry. Take a sterile cutting and toss it in a cup of water under 12/12. I know a breeder that flips his veg room for 2-3 days and then goes back to 18/6. The pre flowers will show sex and they don't have to reveg. I haven't tried it as I veg for a long time and almost always can tell sex before flip.

I'm looking forward to a good weekend. Our son is coming home to help me out around the house and hopefully I'll be getting a new veg room setup in my daughter's old room. I have a 4x4 tent and all the gear I need so we just have to get some old furniture out and toss the mattress and box spring. Once that's done and everything has been cleaned I can run autos in there and keep clone mothers as well.

Yes. Get them under 12/12 for about 72 hours and you'll know.

That's how I sex when I need to. I find this is the simplest and least intrusive method.

I just have a bunch of other plants in the veg room.

I'm running out of closets I can use, lol...

I could put them in the closet with 2 large plants in their 3rd week of flower, if I am very careful...I like the cuttings idea too....But why not use the cloner instead of a cup of water? Or I could use a real small light on 12/12 in the spare bathroom, away from everything to be safer.

Does the cloner use power and make noise? Need stuff added to it? Cup of water just needs dumped out and refilled from the tap once or twice a week.
