DoorMouse and QTL, Doormouse made me think of The Mad Hatter. I'd entirely forgotten about the Hookah Smoking Caterpillar! Much more appropriate symbol for our habit, I mean hobby.

How do I identify male or female? I have searched the forums and can't find anything.
Here's a pretty decent description with photo's...
What are preflowers?
Basicly if you see the lil white hairs, then you have female, if you see balls then its male..(not a joke...lol)

Well I thought that was about how it went, but I wasn't to sure how long I would have to keep them before they started showing male/female signs.

In your dreams, Mr. Rodent! You won't see any signs of sex until around 5 - 10 days of flowering. I assume you're going to veg for six weeks?
Not sure what you meant about cloning after your first run. Are you intending to clone these plants or are you going to start another batch from seed and clone those?

Well, President Ulyesses, the link Icemud posted says preflowers appear after the fourth week of vegetation from seed.
I plan on cloning off the current plants I have, being that I even have a female plant out of what has been growing.

i can never tell if the plant is male or female until it switches light cycle, you must have to really know what your looking for if you can tell the sex before you switch the light cycle. all the nodes just look like stems with tiny little green things coming out i dont see male pollen sacks or female white pistils before i switch light cycle. I assume you could cut a clone off your plant and put it in 12/12 so it will show you sex

Mouse Man,
I was going to say that I stand corrected about preflowers. I guess I was thinking more about actual flowers. Maybe an expert can detect the preflowers before 12/12, but I can't. It's the distinctive white hairs of the actual flowers that gives it away for me.
If you had started from feminized seeds, you wouldn't have to worry about which plants to clone. Since you may have a mix of male and female plants, you need to clone a selection from different plants before you put them into flower. It's almost impossible to clone a plant that's been put into flower.
Maybe this will help:
I've been researching cloning myself. An expert grower who has a lot of experience with cloning is going to give me some pointers. If you're interested, when you're ready to clone, I'd be happy to share with you the do's (which I didn't) and the don't's (which I did) of cloning.
Took me a couple of seconds to figure that out. Good one!

Hello my fellow Americans(for you Ulyesses),
I have a slight problem, I'm sure it's nothing, on one of my plants the bottom fan leafs have curled slightly. I will post some pictures later tonight. Ggrant i have come to the conclusion that I shall check the gender by clone, because if I take two off each plant, and flower one of each, I can keep the other clone for more production. So any and all help from you and everyone else will be rewarded with a pat on the back from yourself. Much love, as the Cheshire grins.

Mouse Man,
Before you even posted your picture, I was going to say Magnesium deficiency.
Check this out and keep a copy handy for future reference about mineral deficiencies:
This is such a young plant to have deficiencies. It's possible your water is very hard or something like that. If it's not a Mg def, the Epsom salts won't hurt. Some growers use it all the time.
Have you been letting the water you use stand 24 - 48 hours before using it? You should never water with straight tap water as it has chlorine in it. Letting it stand for a day or two will get rid of that.
Have you been using Blackstrap Molasses as one of the wise growers here suggested? This usually prevents mineral deficiencies.
Keep posting pictures and keep us up-to-date.
