Im growing 24/7 400w MH at about 10" from plant. Should I find out the sex by going to 12/12 lighting and for how long do I keep the 12/12 on for? Hate to waist time and my energy to find out its a male and not a female. Once I find out its a female go back to the 24/7 for vegging, want a...

I bought a 400w light from the same company, but got the MH conversion bulb and I bought the Agro Son 430w light. I remember reading that to determine how hot the light is to the plant is use the back of your hand, well I did that and ended up burning some of the leafs from all of my plants...
