Keeping 'em Short. indoor florescent grow

ive got a few more smaller cfls for the sides, two sets of two. ill get pics soon. LST begins tomorrow (late, i know) and ive lowered the light and can actually tell the difference in the growth from yesterday.

started the LST this morning. just 4 tie-downs right now so we'll see how it goes.
heres a question btw: is there any way to tell if its male or female before it flowers? or anytime like in the next few weeks?

They say that females are often more squatty than males, but since you are training growth, that indicator seems to be out. Any other ideas?
Good luck

Exciting Day!
Just replanted my girl in some fresh Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil in a nice 10" pot. made holes around the edges with a soldering iron for LST and used some zipties so i can adjust how much pressure i want the tie-downs to have. Idk, i though it was cool (stoner logic). Shes watered and tied and the lights ate about to come back on so ill see how she does. One retarded leaf and by that i mean gimpy and odd but i figure its from the smaller pot's ties.
