Has anyone messed around with starting seeds in flower to see if male or female, then once sex shows, put back into veg mode?

They won't flower until they old enough (varies on Strain and all the other variables, but it is quite a few weeks), most will throw preflowers out when they are ready to show even in Veg mode.

Really?
How long does it usually take for pistils to show if it wants to pre-flower?

Personally never seen them earlier than 6 weeks old, though my eyes not the best. Clones are different as the cutting is same age as the plant and thinks it is mature enough to Flower, so I can't see you gaining anything doing that and would affect the growth using less light time.

The more I grow regular seeds the more I am finding you don't need to drop back lights for lots of strains these days. I have 2 Super Silver Haze plants that showed sex in 16 hrs of light.
I noticed this years ago but was growing a strain that was known to flower early. I am really surprised to see it from a long flowering sativa.
There are enough things that can go wrong during a grow. Changing light times around a lot can really mess with some strains. It is better not to take the risk.
