I dont think there is necessarily a best way but the way you suggested works fine.
If you take cuttings, by time they root and show sex your plant in veg will probably be showing sex anyway, if you take change to 12/12 to sex and the put the lights back to veg then your stressing the plant.

thats exactly what i thought and researched but when i said that to the guys at a local hydroponics store they said there is no way to tell for sure in veg. I definitely see some plants that have the 2 tiny little pistols and some that are the same age that dont. im confused now but what u said was exactly what i thought

Mine generally show sex after about 31 days of veg, but then they don't get stunted at all, and are on a 24/24 light cycle
