How to clone unsex'd plants?

First time cloning, few questions:
I have 12 plants from bag seed in Veg right now, none of which I know the sex of.
Should I:
1) Put plants into flower * Wait until sex shows * Trash male * Put best female back in veg (dedicated area) * Continue flowering rest
OR
2) Take clones * Mark and label plants and clones * Put clones in veg area * Flower the 12 plants * Once sex shows, trash the respective clones in the veg area.
?

Shroomofdoom said: Well, it depends. Are the current plants in veg a size you would want to flower? Also, i dont know if you going to be doing any seeding, but its not always a bad idea to keep a male around for seeds. Me personally, I would take clones, then put those clones into flower and then check for males. That way if you have female clones you can leave them in flower and harvest a crop of bud, while your mothers are veg'n. Just the way I would do it.
Happy growing
They are about a foot tall now, so I'm going to wait until next weekend to move to flowering.
I thought that clones should be put under 24 hour lighting for the first couple weeks? Is it safe to put them right into 12 hour lighting for flowering?
