Female or Male?!

I have been growing with the setup shown below since the beginning of December. Started in a red solo cup and then moved to a orange juice container cut in half... I know it is completely not the best way to do it but it has worked out well so far. I started flowering about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I am seeing signs of a female plant but cannot tell for sure as I am not experienced enough. However, I do see a sign of a male plant as well, or what I think a male flower would look like. Please anyone take a look and let me know what you guys think!

Girl parts are just forming. Your lights are terrible for flowering.

I know... I know... I spent no money what so ever on this project. It was just kinda to see what happens from a bag seed. Those are 6 CFL's that are soft white (2700K i believe) which I read was the right kind for flowering. I know they are not ideal at all but its what I have. If I were to buy a new light for a reasonable price, what would you suggest?

GIRL, get better lights, she has potential

eBay. Cheapest and safest. Get a HID lamp if you can. I use HPS throughout veg and flower, some use metal halide for vegging. I get tighter node spacing with HPS all the way. You can get a ballast, bulb, and hood for well under $200 on eBay.

She looks good considering what you have been using to grow with. But when she switches to flower it will get out of control if you don't upgrade the lights.

I have been looking and it seems like an HID is out of my price range. I did find a reasonably priced 250 W CFL kit with hood and hanger. How well would this, along with using the lights I have now for side lighting, work?

I mean it is only one plant that is around 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall.

Share your opinions please!

I dont see true evidence of sex either way yet on this plant.

For now it should work - Good luck!
