Default How to tell early stages between male and female ?

I have a plant going and this is my first time not using feminized seeds, It just showed its first leafs, I was wondering how I tell if it is male or female ?
And if it is male is it possible to change it into a female at a early stages of growth?

There are some more experienced members here who might be able to answer but as far as i know you cant tell until they show balls or pistils which i think is the flowering stage

The "clover" leaves are normal and every marijuana plant that you will ever grow will start out like that. The ragular weed leaves will come next and go from 3,5,7 prong leaves, maybe more. You really can't tell males from females until they show their sex (balls/pistils) which is usually some time after flowering is induced. If you are not using feminized seeds than I recommend growing at least three plants to up the chances of a female.

if you're used to females just look for something different. You can induce flowering quicker by turning off the lights for 48 hours and then switching them straight to 12 12. Our plants started showing in a couple of days.

Male plants have little balls that will sometimes have a claw shape coming out of the top. This is our first grow and that claw shape was sort of confusing. I could just imagine it opening and releasing pistils.

Well I have it in my green house and I am not going to put lights by it. The sun is what it gets. Right now it is about two inchs tall and startiing to grow abit every day. Soon I hope it will be a nice big plant I will post some pics in about a week or two. Oh and should I water the plant more in a green house because it is warmer ? And are a few ants going to be a problem ? I could use some answers this is my first indoor grow big changes from not using feminized seeds and and moving from outdoors to indoors.

You're still growing outdoors, and at the wrong time of year. I think. I'm not sure about the U.S.

I wouldn't attempt it in this country. I know how a greenhouse works etc, etc. I'm sure you have to wait about the same amount of time as an outdoor grow, you can expect huge yields from a greenhouse.

I'm really regretting trying to answer this post now. But at least it has me thinking and I'll follow this thread to see what answers are given. I'm interested myself because as soon as I get a bigger place I'm going to get myself a greenhouse. Still going to grow indoors too as I have a partner on that venture. The greenhouse will be all mine... and so will the smoke.

I wish I had a green house. They are the shit. You get the advantage of being outdoors (the suns light). And its still a controlled enviroment. You dont get rain, or rodents and you can control the bugs a lot better. A hydro setup in a green house would be the the shizzle.
