I use an Aerocloner to do my clones and it works great. 7-10 days 100% rooted everytime.
When I am sexing a plant I usually grow it out from seed until it is old enough to take 3-4 clones. Toss the cuttings in the aerocloner and toss the parent into 12/12 to sex. I usually see the sex about the same time the clones are rooted. If it's a male I toss the parent and it's respective clones and if it's a female, I grow out the parent and start the clones in veg. Plus your parent is about 30-45 days ahead of the clones. So, you can harvest to see which one is best and make one of those specific clones your new mom.
Now after all that ramblin, the question
Could I take cuttings(1-2) from each plant, toss them into the aerocloner and at the 10 day mark or whenever they have some root structure hangin down, flip to 12/12 on my flouro above the cloner? Flower the fresh rooted clones right in the cloner in order to sex, never take them out. Once sex is shown then well, sex is shown. But you only have to manage one cutting from each plant and the parent continues to veg a little more.
I started thinking, I could switch to a little 150w mh right when I go 12/12. might speed up the process anyway. The 150 is not to bad for early rooting and veg.
Just curious
