is this a female?

I am sorry this is so far away, but it was blurry close up. Can anyone tell if it is female?

I can not see any gametes or sex organs but seeing how much it stretched it is not looking very hopeful my friend.

hard to see much in that pic but i think you just need to give it more time! youll be able to tell when he/she starts to show its sex!

How long has it been?

That plant looks very stretched...

If its not already, put into the 12/12 light cycle, and wait.

If you see balls you know its male, but if you see white hairs then you know its female... so you wont have to make another thread..

well, it is a 2 month old plant, but I have only had it on 12/12 for about 5 days...I have other plants that look like males because I can see the "balls" forming in between the leaves. Is it just too soon for hairs to form? This plant looks different from the ones I think are males.

JUST BE CAREFUL. HERES A PIC OF WITH I THOUGHT WERE BALLS. TURNED OUT TO BE FEMALE PARTS, JUST A DAY OR SO BEFORE THEY SPROUTED HAIRS. TAKE UR TIME,,, BE SURE. GOOD LUCK

thanks, I will keep a watch in it. The plant is 22 inches tall but not very bushy...how long do I have to keep the plants on 12/12 ?

Ok Let look a 2 things
Lets say its a female ,,, clone it with the tops your going to take off because it will double in size before harvest
Lets lower the lamp so the plant get the max effect of the lamp. Move your hand near the bulb when it just gets warm, thats the distance to the top of the plant.
Time is dependant on strain telling sex, The more bush the more bud unless its a scrog system. You can always add chlose pins to bend over the plant use wood ones.

yeah -- what olsanclem said.

Get those clones cut now though! They have more rootability and better early growth if they're taken before cutting the light back.

You can clip clothespins directly to leaves, right where the fingers join the branch. Or you can dangle them from a pipe cleaner looped wherever you want it. Or you can tie off a bent stem to itself with the pipe cleaner. All good methods. Best done just before you water because the stems are all less turgid then. They're tough.

thanks, I will try to clone it...but the lamp is already 2 inches above. won't it burn the leaves if I move it closer?

Males normally develop before females, about 5 days... leave it longer to know.

ok, well I want to thank everyone for all the good advice...turns out is IS a male but another one is definitely a female--so I am happy one of three came out ok...I dont want to kill my males, tho, so I surrounded them with foil..and the girl, too..do you think I have a chance they wont get together? Thanks again for all your help :smokin:
