Nice clear pictures. It may still be early to tell.
I don’t see a white calyx or multiples balls.
It’s playing the “shy” game.
Based on the shape I do see though I’m leaning towards it being a male. A female is usually thicker at the base and tapers to a point vs what I’m seeing is more of a ball like structure. To be safe I’d continue to observe until it shows you more.

Those are stipules 
You need to wait for the phyllotaxy on your nodes to alternate. Currently it's opposing which means you're still too immature to flower. BTW they look great, good job

Yes, I concur those little curls at the axilla
Good, check it daily and consider what branches you might like to pollinate with that guy; free seeds!I guess I will give it a couple more weeks and see.

From what I’ve noticed.. all the females I’ve come across look like this as soon as the nodes start to alternate.. earliest sign if I’m asked my opinion. 
Yours looks male. Give it time to be sure though, as this is not something I’ve looked up. Just noticed through experience.

Still don’t see anything definitive, but I’m leaning towards male. (Second picture)
I have to admit, this is getting frustrating. I believe I am in week 7 now and I don't feel confident either way. Should I set the light to 12/12 to force the issue?
The plant is 26" high now. I just want to know if I should cull it out or get it ready for its outdoor home in a couple weeks.

Take a couple of clones and put them in 12/12.
