Male or Female?

This is my first grow and like every other beginner out there, I am growing impatient in determining the sex of my plants. It's 8 days into flowering This particular plant has been the most dominant grower out of the 4 total that I have. That makes me think that it is a male, but I was wondering if someone would be able to confirm or deny this.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Here are some pictures:

I tried to get as close to the plant as possible with my camera and the quality isn't the greatest!

(I could totally wait another week and not have posted this question at all but I really just want to know so I can move on with my life...lol)

I think it might be a little early to tell yet, or those pics might not be clear enough. I cant say for sure weather it is male or not, but maybe others will be more helpful. Tip: look at the bulbs at the node, is there a small hair coming out of the top? I cant tell from the pic but it will become very obvious soon and it wont hurt your crop for some time

I can clearly see male flowers in all the pictures. Look at pic #2 especially. There are bunches of what look like grapes... those are male flowers. females dont pump out that many flowers at one location just yet, if it were female it would be a single flower (calyx) with a set of pistils coming out.

it may be male, but i would still wait a while yet. If it is a male it wont begin to pollinate for another week or 2 so be patient and let it grow out
Thats my 5 cents
peace

I plan on letting it grow up for another 7 days(ish) to make sure. I just hate to rip down a 3 foot beauty that might still have the slightest of chances of being my new wife. My fingers are still crossed.........but I'm pretty sure I know the reality of this situation!

Thanks guys

There's no chance that it's female. Even I can see that it's a male. If you let it go, it could drop pollen that will hurt your next effort. I forget how long pollen lives, but I think for months.

I guess it only took 1 more day to show its true colors! It is a male that is now in a better place right about now (dumpster). I want to thank everyone for their help with this one!
