9 days flowering. Hmmmmm. I'd say male. I don't usually check the top of my plants though because sometimes I mistake new growth for balls. Almost tossed a plant one time, but thought I'd wait it out. 3 days later, there was hair. And, to date, she's the most beautiful plant I've had. Of course, it looks like there is some new growth there already, so that's why I'm thinking it's a male. Can you take some pix like a node or 2 further down the stalk?
