just do your research man. read up about preflowers and figure out the difference between male and female preflowers. google image search for pics of each. height and number of leaves really don't have anything to do with it. so, if you want to know sex ASAP, learn the differences between male and female cannabis plants, then switch your lighting to 12/12. you'll know the sex of each plant within 2 weeks. then switch back to 24/0 or 18/6. the seed casing probably kept light from reaching the leaves at full strength, so it stretched. thats most likely the reason its taller: stretching. not good.
