Males, Females, and early recognition
The males are a little slower to develop. I??ll start with some pictures and work backwards to the earlier stages.
The thing to notice here (beyond the rather plump ball shape) is that the balls are going to want to stand off the main stalk on their own little stem. The female calyx grows tight to the main stalk but the males are going to want to eventually stand off.

Here??s one a little earlier. You??ll probably have to zoom in to see that the ball is away from the stalk on it??s own less developed stem.

And here in it??s infancy. The one on the left shows the ball forming and the narrowing coming off the main stalk. That??s where it will elongate it??s stem later on.

And another showing the ball and the ??stem to be? coming off the main stalk.

This plant was also topped at the seventh node. So this will be the spot to watch for the first indication.
WARNING?.do not expect the nub to mature here first?.while the plant will give you the first ??nub? here, look above for the first mature balls on higher or newer growth.
I hope that this serves the community for early recognition and to get the males out of the grow room as early as possible. If you??re still not sure remember that you have about ten days from the time that the males are quite obvious to remove them from the presence of ??Le Femme?.
