if i plant outside, will my plants only show sex at flowering? so even if i have a 4 foot plant, if its still getting more than 12 it wont show sex?

Your plant will not flower untill it gets less that 14 hours light a day , Some outdoor growers use black bin bags to cover plants and reduce the hours of sun light .... Shooot

well you can take a cutting from each plant, root it and throw it under 12/12 see the sex, pull the corresponding males, and plant the female cuttings in their places

i think this is a good option.

could i just make a shade that shortens the amount of the light that the plants get outside? like a box, that only lets them get morning sun?
