that was a grow were my light broke so they had around 2 week veg in sunlight (December) and im from uk so they were getting very little amounts of light so they had major problems, despite that i carry'd on and they were male

but they were in veg around 1 month and 1 day and they were in flower around 2 weeks

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...

i havent watered my plant from the soil for almost 2 weeks now and they seem to look fine, but i sprayed water on the leaves everytime at night before i turn off the light.
now the question is.. is that ok? or like does it have any effect or what so ever.

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.

so what happen if you flower the plant when it's still immature? i switch to flower early becoz of space issue.
heres the pic
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.
