Not sure if it's a male or female but it's a suspected male. tall has about 7 or 8 nodes now. Still hasn't flowered yet though. You said 18/6 and 12/12 I'm assuming 18 on and 6 off for veg? and 12 on 12 off during flowering right? Wasn't sure if lights stayed on all day or not. So I been cycling the lights on and off but not too irregular trying not to stress the plant.

Here are pictures from a week to about 2 days ago in order (any sick flowers in these pictures have been removed from plant. other plants in background were thrown out already.)
