[SIZE=+2]Difference Between Male and Female Plants[/SIZE]

Differences
The male will tend to grow taller faster and be less bushy, but not always.
Preflowers, as opposed to full blown flowers, generally but not always appear after the fourth -fifth week of vegetative growth from seed. Check carefully above the fourth node. Preflowers are very small and and near almost impossible to differentiate without magnification.

Preflowers are often pear shaped and produces a pair of pistils but it's common for only one pistil or none to display at early age.

Cannabis plants do not all show sex at the same age. It depends on the strain mainly. I have had some plants show sex at 5 weeks. Other strains, like the Hindu Kush, did not show sex until much later, like around 2 - 3 weeks of flowering, when they were 8 weeks old!

In the early stages preflowers might often not show pistils until well advanced so do not start pulling plants until you are 100% sure.

Pistillate preflowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branches.
Some times female preflowers never produce pistils. A female preflower without pistils is difficult to distinguish from a male preflower so don't be fooled into thinking it's a male or a hermaphodite .



Female Hairs


Female Pistillate
Once your seeds begin to grow into a plant you need to sex the plant. You need to sex the plant because only the female plants produce the buds you want to smoke. If you are growing under lights you can do this by putting the plant on a light cycle of 12 hours on 12 hours off. After a week or two you will begin to see small white hairs emerging from the sacs at the base of the branches. If you see hairs coming out of the sacs you have a female. If the sacks develop but no hairs emerge you likely have a male. Unless you are going to seed out some of your plants you will want to get rid of the males as soon as possible
