hi caroline,,

when your nodes are alternating you should see hairs... or balls/buds...

the hairs are female pistols that try to get pollen from the male..

the balls.. or tiny rose bud things are male flowers that open and release pollen...

I can see neither in your picture... the plant is really big and I am some what suprised it does not have alternating nodes...


It should have shown sex by now... one week of 12/12 should do it.. can you give us a close up of the top of the plant... it needs to be clear and in focus..

nice plant.. ihope it is female!!!!!
