do a 20/4 for 3 weeks and then 18/6 till flower. You have to wait till flower to tell, unless you take a clone early and flower her....

this is the blind leading the blind. right now 16 on 8 off and you can only tell the gender of a plant after you start flowering.

anyway, the schedule is up to you some people leave the lights on 24/0 i always keep mine on at 18/6, the most important thing is getting enough watts for your grow

Agreed. Mine always show preflowers(on18/6)at around 5 weeks, from seed, with the males usually showing their faces, first.

Also agree, light is most important, above all else. Get rid of those 27 watt bulbs, asap, and go with at least 42 watts, if you're sticking with CFLs. Those babies are ready for full light, especially if you're using fluoros. Those 27 watt bulbs will work for the first week or so,(they start stretching) but should be replaced soon, or add 2-3 more.
