Nope not stupid questions.Just take a little time and do some searches and you will find all the answers you need.I used to think that I needed to buy tons o' books (and I did)but I think I could have saved my self a ton of money by just doing exhaustive searches on this forum and the internet.Best of luck:thumbsup:

you can legally buy grow books off of amazon.com
I highly suggest you do that....it's worth the 15-20bucks

1)yes female is the bloomer and is what you want to smoke, don't waste your time w/males or hermaphordites
2)female has white pistils that eventually pop out where nodes intersect, when they first appear they're hard to see, use a magnifier.... males have balls which are pollen sacks
herms will have both
3)when? often times you can tell during the veg stage when preflowers start showing at around 4-6 weeks....even so it can still be very hard to tell especially for a noob. you will know for sure when you switch to flower (12/12light) within 1-3 weeks you should see tiny white pistils indicating female
