Is this a female?

Have you checked the nodes higher up on the plant? Usually 4th or 5th node. How old is it? What's your light schedule?

Ive checked the whole plant, yeah lol. It just shows those stipules.
The seed is bagseed.

You can take this with a grain of salt, but I have found it to be true more often than not. When I was kid in the early 60(s) I had 2 older first cousins that grew weed religiously, and one them, my cousin Billy, said when dealing with regular seeds if you look at the third node up and find that the stipules are crossed before any preflowers are shown it is most likely a male plant, as a female will only cross her stipules after she has shown preflowers. He said he learned that from a old weed farmer out in Monterey California!

I've never heard that. That's pretty cool even if it could be bro science. I've got a few plants getting ready for sexing and I'm going to see if that's factual. Nothing to lose. You could put that info into the "bro science" thread too.

I’ve read that a lot. I look every time. I can say it is anecdotally true that males do not cross stipules, more than it’s not. But it is not always true.

I will also say, anecdotally only, that the only true herm I have ever had had \/ stipules on the male nodes, and X stipules on the females.

However, I have also had female plants that never cross.

I can’t draw a conclusion, so I do not factor it in to sexing a plant.
