here is one... hope it helps or i'll try clicking more..
thanks in advance
I would say give it a few more days. It's starting to show, but i cant see clear "balls". I can see pistles coming out. If it's a girl you'll be able to see 2 white hairs coming out behind those pistils coming out now. If it's a boy those pistols will start to look like little balls on top of the pistles.

Definitely a girl. You have a single long claw at the nodes and no bunched up balls, this is a good sign. Congrats! Just don't do anything to stress the plant from now on that will make it hermie. Good luck.

How tall is she and how long has she been vegin for? If you put it into 12/12 give her a full 36 hrs of darkness before you start the 12/12. After a couple of days in 12/12 you're either going to see white hairs at the site where you snapped the pics or you'll see what looks like a cluster of small grapes on a vine.

If there are already calyxes at the nodes, why would you see balls?

Staminate: Male in form of clusters. Usually grows in clusters unlike a Calyx.



Calyx: female MJ organ. Notice the same shape as the claws on the nodes of your plant?

its looking female so far, i think i see some calyxs but no pistils yet.. if you plan to keep vegging i would say just keep going til natural presex shows.

You know, secondary branches are not the main concern here. As a general rule of thumb, you should wait until you see 'alternating nodes' or until your plant reaches a third to a half desired height you want it to be... another rule of thumb is that your pot size should be approximately 1 gallon per foot of plant growth. If you want the plant to be 5 feet tall in the end then you'll need a 5 gallon pot. Anyway, Depending on the strain of plant you have, the smell will vary. You usually wont get too strong of a smell until the buds are getting in their ripe stages. Again, the time it will take for you plant to smell and how potent it is will depend on it's strain. Good luck :)
