i have a situation where i have 14 plants and am running out of room. so can i force flower until just long enough to sex than enter veg again. doin this obviously to weed out males. i know this will be stressful so im worried about popping hermies. any advice would be great. oh yeah they need to be repotted after this ordeal so i can veg & then flower into bigger plants. they are in 6" pots & want to put in 3 gallon. this is bagseed so am willing to experiment.

U don't need "alot" of space to flower cuttings. So obviously u had your mind made up before u asked the question.

It not only induces stress, but will postpone your grow by "at least" a month.
2-3 weeks of 12's to determine sex, and another 2-4 to return to veg. Cuttings in a glass of water, under a flo' for 12/12 should allow you to determine most males in 2-3 weeks.

It can be done the way your talking i too am taking that route as of now with a grow (30 seeds link) initally i wanted to just use cutting to determine sex but was unable to with a couple of plants that were finishing up, my Idea to limit the stress of going from 12/12 back into a good vegging time is to add 30 mins of light a day over the course of the next 2 weeks. The process will be slower getting them back but, it will work its just like Hick had saidIt not only induces stress, but will postpone your grow by "at least" a month.

thank you everybody for all input & crazy horse yes i kinda already made up my mind while i was trying to pick yours. here's what i think makes the best sense to me at least. im leaving in flower and am going to repot when sex is distinguishable. they are 24" under a 600w hps with cool tube and will gradually lower. while this is going on i will be constructing a veg/mother room. thaks again
