How long of a photoperiod untill it shows sex?

Might be wrong forum but wtf ever. Anyway, I am making an air tight wrap as seen in Marijuana Botany to discover the sex of my 3 ft plant. I did not purchase the book so I did not read the entire procedure, just saw the pictorial and read about putting it on to make a 12/12. So, I tried it last night and this is the first 12 hours of dark it's had. Now, If I continue this, how long should it be until I see the sex start to show? The plant is roughly 2.5 months old ( I started a while ago and put outside but now it's inside and possibly a good mother?) It's a sativa strain.

So if I lived in the North Western Hemisphere right now, then wouldnt that be equal to putting it outside at this point in our season? I'm in NE US if that helps..

I'm only asking this becuase if it's not close enough then I'll do it inside. If it's close enough then I'll put it outside for a week or so and let it branch out alittle then take 5 clones from it and see what happens to the "mother" plant as far as sex.

Ok, the plant will show sex if you let it mature in vegetative state at 18/6 or whatever veg cycle you like...
But, since you're forcing it to flower now, it will probably show in about a week. It might already have pre-flowers at the nodes - you have to look VERY closely.

Take a clone and put that in the 12/12 light. You should also look the plant over without doing anything cause I've never seen a plant that doesn't have a few preflowers if you know how to look. If you decide to keep doing what your doing your gonna be in for a bit of a wait. The plant has to kick into flowering to get the sex then when you turn the light back the plant is gonna go into shock for a bit so expect it to be about 3 to 4 weeks after you kick the lights back to normal before the plants start to grow normal again.
This last one is best cause this is what the preflowers most often look like when in the vegative state. Female on left male on right.
