seeking advice about revegging, gender, and LST

so im almost done setting up my grow space, its very small but ever so stealthy. because of my size limitations im planning on sprouting 3 seeds (hashberry) with the prospect of one female of course more are allways welcome. now because i dont have access to a separate grow area to clone plants and determine gender that way so im planning on growing strait from seed with with a 12/12 cycle, then once the plants show gender, pull the males, and start to veg them well reveg them, then once they reach a good size flower them...again. kinda a backwards way to grow but this way if heaven forbid, they're all male, i can just start over with minimal time lost. i would like to do an LST grow because it seems like its the best option for maximum yield given my grow space.
now my questiond are...
how long till the plants show a definite gender?

obviously starting with 12/12 then revegging with a 18/6, to flower later will have some side effects what will some of those be? the way i see it once i know the plants gender i have all the time in the world to veg i just dont want all my efforts to be in vane if they should happen to be all males.

giving these circumstances is LST even phesiable. if i start with the flowering light cycle, stress the plant by bending will this hinder gender development, or cause some adviers reactions?

Lastly ive herd that in order to reveg you gotta cut parts of the plant off, im confused by this and wish for some clarification, and mayve I don’t have to cut any of the plant and the articles I read were wrong.

"for every action there is a reaction" something is bound to happen with my grow method i know im just trying to prepare my self for possible scenario that i might encounter, though I know to expect the unexpected. Anyways thanks all

You would be better of starting LST after you have gone back to veg and know what ones are females because yes, im sure lst at the start of flower will delay sex signs.

Reverting will cause it all to take longer but it seems your more concerned about space & yield than time so this shouldn't be a problem...

duno bout cutting bits of the plant of to reveg...im thinking maybe that would only be needed if it started making buds already, but i duno thats just a guess :-?
