That my friend looks like a full on male. No doubt.

Yep, it's a male. No white hairs coming out of the bud growth in the nodes.

thanks, well that sucks i was almost sure until this week that it would be female just by the way it stood (bushy with short internode spacing) is it possible that when i preforced going to 12/12 too early stressed it too much and caused it possibly to be a male?just wondering

No, probably not. I've flowered stuff only after a month of growth and it turned out fine, and then again, I waited 2 1/2 months for 17 plants to get mature and 10 of them were males. In that case, I think it was the heat. I don't think flowering too quick would cause a plant to show as a male. Temperature, nutrients, and light cycle are the big things that whig a plant out. It was probably a male from the get-go.
