Flowering cuttings

Hi all. I just watched a YouTube video produced by stony girl farms and they were putting cuttings under 12/12 just to determine gender. I'm going to give it a try, but I am wondering if anyone has any advice. I'm not worried about loosing the cuttings, I'm only concerned about the gender.
 
i have never tried to do this with a cutting, but i have heard people do this. usually by the time the plant is big enough to take a cutting and then waiting 2 weeks for the cutting to show sex, the mother plant should have pre-flowers by then anyway.

i might clone a potential male so i can get rid of the larger plant and keep a smaller version of the male until i am ready to use him.
 
I can only grow 6 plants, so I want good ones. I popped about 50 reg. beans, and I don't want to stress the keepers. I figure if I flower the cuttings the " mothers will stay stable, and I can identify the males.
 
alot of people do this,if you plan on veging them for 2 or 3 months,it works very well in finding out whiich ones are male or female,then u can get rid of the ones you are sure will be male,
 
Possibly for the other way around. Sexing the cutting so as to know whether to continue growing out an established plant.

Maybe I'm just doing it differently. I hunt for desired phenos in reg beans by flipping the switch into flowering, then eliminating males. At this point, I do not know which lady is the keeper, so I'm forced to clone and label everything until all the final products are tested. Then I toss the undesired clones.

Yeah, i think it's just done for a different reasoning. I never vegged plants long enough to justify taking a clone to determine sex. When i did take clones, i would take a couple of each and then mother them till i could determine which were worth growing out, by smoking the donor.

Call me a weirdo too but, i clone/label every single plant from seed rite BEFORE i put into flower. Once males show, or i find less than desireable phenos, i throw away those corresponding cuts. When i start strains from seed, my mamma material has never been flowered. Does it matter? Prob not.

I don't even bother keeping a "mother" plant., that gets smoked...every clone is a mother that gets smoked eventually.:mrgreen:

I think I'm on generation 7 on one strain going back 18 months.:peace:

Wish I was good enough to find desired phenos w/o having to sample end product. That would save me a shit ton of time and $$, but I don't trust my own eye combined with a product description. So I clone unnecessarily.

Ohhhh, well of course i don't ditch the corresponding cut/plant of the potential keeper, until i sample and weigh the mom ;-)
I'll usually clone the cut again though, before i know whats up, because of space

That's a really good idea
