for most hybrids you should be able to sex your plants in around 3-4 days of 12 hours, or around the 4-6th week of veg
keep checking for the male staminate / pre flowers ..
you have to look very close at the main stems and internodes
i call it "the tiny plant cock"
as soon as i spot this, i remove these plants and take cuttings from the remaining female* plants
the male clearly has a little stalk/shaft with a helmet on the end
females never have this stalk/shaft,
you will see tiny irregular shaped looking single calyx with no pistils developing on females after just 4-5 days or as preflowers from week 5 of veg onwards
they will all come stright from the stem this growth will never be on a stalk like structure ..
spot the male stalk early .. take cuttings from the rest that show no signs of being male ..
doing it this way lets you have cuttings from all your females, before they flower

for me the selection process is first identify and remove males
then remove any weak/unhealthy slow growing females
i think its better/faster to sex them by looking for the males first
the male will show very early on, once you have removed the males then you know the rest are female*
although it is still possible that some remaining plants could have some hermaphrodite tendencies that show female signs first and male flowers later, this is rare
if this happens those plants would be removed also and any cuttings previously taken would be discarded
after doing it for a while you will become confident that any plants that do not show male with in a few days are females, a few days or weeks later once you see the pistils then you can confirm what you already knew, but i do understand seeing the pistils makes folk feel better about it
