When is it the earliest to sex damon diadema? I am getting seven juveniles, too young to be sexed and I am trying to breed some in the future.

As I understand it, you'll know when you can sex them, because the sexual dimorphism in this species will make the sexes clearly different.

With seven juveniles, chances of receiving all of one sex are 1 in 64, so while it's possible, it's quite unlikely. If it does happen, you'll know because all the individuals will look the same.

It might be possible at very early instars by looking at the underside if you really know what you're looking for. It gets easier the bigger they get. After the first post ultimate molt you should be able to tell by palp size. That's not 100% though.
