have you ever studied genetics of a plant? I am not saying to chop it with out knowing but if you start from seed, normally your tallest plants are going to be males. I don't want to be rude but it is nature, they have to be taller to make sure they spread the pollen.

looking male, but i had one like that... i took 4 days longer to show sex in flower than any other, and it had tiny male looking balls... one day i walk in to the room and see white hairs comin out of those little balls... SUCCESS!! all im saying, is be sure... males wont pollinate for a couple weeks after they have made their sex visually known.... You have time to let it mature, then chop it if its male/ Be patient, and GOOD LUCK!!!

What about bushest? I have a plant that is bushy and has been my best grower. I am waiting for all my kids to show me their sex. I really hope that one is not a boy! I am waiting and I just started flowering. So I have like 10 days at least before I will know.

So if they are big they are boys??

This is my first grow so sorry for the dumb questions

I'm no professional grower, but I can read. My plant that was growing the fastest and was spaced out at the nodes turned out to be male.

From all the research I've been doing, males do take on those traits.

It's not a guarantee, but can give you a good idea of what to maybe expect.

Check around the 7th or 8th node. You should see something there. If it's a male, you will most likely see sex first.

They don't typically show sex until first to third week into flower.

Why thank you

Life's to short to be haten. I think your plants look good. I can't tell the sex though.

I just checked out the nodes on them. One of the taller, skinner ones has spaced out nodes. Now I am pretty sure It's a boy. I will wait until it grows a pair to be sure.
