Thanks again !
For the record, its hard for others to make an accurate assesment w/o seeing pictures. Many have had what they thought were males, only to find they've killed a female. It does sound like you had a male, but here's a good way to get an idea early on: Find an upper node w/ secondary growth (and alternating nodes if possible). If you see a small growth farther away from the stem past the green stem hairs (evey node has 4) and in the space between primary and secondary shoots, look closely at its shape. If it looks like a tiny hershey's kiss (cone) w/o any stem stuck on, then its likely female. However, if you see a small "newborn" bundle of green, with a small lift off the stem or node, then its likely male. watch it closely for a few days- if it stays the same or gets larger w/o any tiny white hairs, then its male. One other thing- if you have been flowering to sex that female, do not put it back into veg- it will stress the plant and possibly make it go hermie. Re-vegging is OK if the plant was only showing preflowers, but once the larger pistils and clumps show up, its too late without risking it.
