They'll show sex when they show sex and when they do it will be abundantly clear what it is.

A little too early.

you can take a thick paper bag and make a sleeve to cover one of the big fan leaves. You put it on for 12 hours so it receives 12 hours of lights and is covered for 12 hours. That node will show sex prematurely. It is a pain in the ass, but it works...

Plants do take in water through their leaves, but you should water their soil. They need that water to grow. remember only 1% of the water you pour in the plant ends up being used for growth, so they need a decent amount of water to grow, they are weeds remember. Perhaps under watering is why they aren't showing sex yet.

If you switch a plant to 12/12 when it is still sexually immature it will simply remain in veg until it gets big enough to be mature. However, because it only gets 12 hours of light instead of 18 or more, it grows slower. However, unlike on a veg light cycle, your plants will start showing sex as soon as they are big enough, where as with 18+ hours of light, most plants will not show sex until you change to the 12 hour light cycle.
