Clones and non sexed seedlings

I have some seedlings that are about 3 weeks old (non-sexed). I will receive some female clones shortly. My question is if I veg these together do I take the chance of pollenation of my clones from the seedlings. The seedlings do not show any signs of being males yet. Should I force them to flower to sex them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can wait and keep them in veg and the males should show regardless especially if you have them on 18/6. Just watch them and pull the males as they seem to show up almost over night if not careful. good luck!

Don't induce flowering on your seed plants prematurely. Just plant your clones and let them grow together for a while. But watch and I mean WATCH you non-sexed plants like a HAWK. If you see any kind of strange growth on them that doesn't look like the characteristic hairs of female pre-flower, pull right away. As long as you don't let those males develop the pollen sacs, they won't have sex with your girls.

I watch like two hawks, I check everyday. It's alot like watchin paint dry but I really am learning alot by doin this. It would not be an issue but I think the seeds may be a rockin strain. Also when would I introduce nutrients to the plants? They seem to be doing great with just ph'd water. I have them on 19/5 light cycle is that ok? Will they show male signs in veg?

You should post pictures. Questions are easier for us to answer that way.

Well they sure are lookin' great. You weren't lying about that.

However, when it comes to soil growing, I'm just a little better than a noob myself.

Soil people? This guy needs your advice. Thank you.

Your plants look healthy, you're off to
a good start. You can also just leave the seed
plants in veg and take cuttings from them.

Flower a cutting from each plant to sex them. You'll
have mother plants ready to go.

You can probably start with nutes in a week or so. If you're
using Foxfarm or a similar soil the mutes in the soil will take
care if a seedling for 3-4 weeks. When you start nutes
it's wise to start at 1/2 strength and work your
way up to avoid burn

I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I shocked them by adding nutes @ 300 ppm GH Flora 9 days ago and way overwatered so I have been letting them dry out and just watering about a cup when dried out. 6.0 PH. They seem to be over the shock so far.
