i kind of giggled when I read the part about, "can I give them 48 hours of dark to speed up the flowering process?" My first thought was, "yeah, just like out in nature." heheheh. Now I'm sitting here wondering if anyone has ever tried doing something like 10/14 (or other on/off times)??? I doubt it would make a difference, and may even be worse for the plants.....But I just don't know. Of course, I'm a bit high right now, so.....yeah, interesting question.

The most common method is to force flower a labeled clone to determine the sex, rather than the incorrect method of forcing the seedling and then reverting it to vegetative growth again.
If you are a seedling grower who does not clone, or a grower who has no seperate vegetative and flowering grow spaces, the easiest method is simply to wait for the preflowers (primordia), and sexual maturity to appear while the seedling is still in vegetative growth. In other words, if you wait until they are 6 to 8 weeks old, most plants will show you their gender without any forcing.
Seedling growers who don't clone are really missing out on the full potency potential of their finished crop whenever they force their seedlings before they've become sexually mature.
