newbie starting a grow

sun output is in lux but from my conversions 10,000 lumens/sqft is for an overcast day and 100,000+ lumens/sqft for direct sunlight.
these numbers are all dependent upon distance from sun.

first day after light switch.
a little bummed i think it is a male.
camera is not good enough but looks like preflowers are starting grow off the stem which means male.
will keep for another day or 2 to verify sex.
starting 2 fem liberty haze seeds now. hoping for better luck this time.
hopefully in a month i will be in this situation again with 2 female plants.
in 32 days it was topped and made it to 18 inches wide and 10 inches tall from soil.
the main stalks range from 10 inches long to 13 inches.

I never heard that about pre's from main stalk means male.
Do you see balls or just the 2 hairs?

they are not round balls it looks similar to this.
they started showing 2 days ago or so. no hairs yet they small about as big as a pencil lead.
no hairs yet which makes me lean towards male.
this is just a pic off of google.

Hopefully like this?

i have a small 45x microscope that is to hard to position inside the plant.
i have had female plants outside a few times and just do not think this is one of them sadly.
but will not give up on it til i am positive will try to get pics up when i get ahold of a better camera

this is pic is from another site breedbay.co.uk. sadly mine is a male will take a few pics before chop today.
for future people in my case and sure similar cases the male preflower's more on the side of the stem instead of inside by the new growth.
also the preflower starts on a tiny stem a sure give away.
gonna take a bunch of cuttings from it just to practice cloning. will not have them in my grow room will be in with my veggies.
as soon as i see roots and know i can do it they will be killed also.
will be starting new thread popping 2 liberty haze beans in after i post.
oh well very good learning experience on how wet soil needs to be,worked temps and ventilation out in my grow room. how much a plant indoors can actually smell.
this was a stinky boy from about 2 weeks til now. gonna cut the stalk and and turn it into something cool as it was my first grow. (candle holder, wine/beer holder, something who knows). thanks for the support from everyone on this site and everywhere info is made easy for newbies. on to the liberties.

My condolences to ya.
At least you got some growing exp. from it though.
The plant looks nice n healthy!

here are some pics of how healthy HE was. still a beauty of a plant in my opinions.
first is i just grabbed it by the stalk and pulled and that is what i ended up with in my hand.
the next one is the dirt shaken out of the roots.
the third is shows the healthy undergrowth.
the last show the nice main stalks after topping it via uncle ben's method.
this was chopped at day 33 from sprout. so know i am more than capable of producing a very healthy plant which in turn i hope next time equalls some nice colas.
sad to see him(badseed)excited to see my fem liberty haze pop out of ground have 2 seeds as of about an hour ago.
thanks again everyone for sharing info and giving support.

Nice roots man.
Indication that your watering habits are good.

my last watering i let it go 2 days to long about 4 or 5 hours before lights out it was a little droopy.
but i wanted the roots to go deep for water to make them fill the pot.
been gardening for 15 years atleast now realize how important it is for proper aeration of soil and water schedules.
i have never seen a plant go from seed to that in 33 days.
no mourning here keeping my head up for next grow.
