I'm having a hard time trying to figure the sex of this Tangerine Dream out. I suspect that it's a male. Can anyone help?

I planted the seed back in December (and it almost died due to lack of light, this being on the 56th parallel, but I managed to keep it alive until I set up a grow light in February). I took it out of the grow room about two weeks ago, when I started suspecting that it might be a male, and since then it has taken off, as you can see by the larger seperation between the branches).

It being over 3 months old, there should be signs, but I'm still not sure. I don't want to kill it, unless of course it's a male.

Thanks in advance

Did you do any pruning? All I see are leaves, but anyway, it look male to me, because a 3 months you should have plenty of flowers, and I don't see any. Sorry

No pruning. Though 3 months old, it didn't grow at all in December and January due to the lack of light, which might explain why it's not so mature.

Yeah, I've got 6 more Only one TD left, which I think I gave too many nutes and water. Now I've transplanted it to coco and perlite (the others are in sphagnum and leca from my first season) and it's looking better, so hopefully I can clone it in a few weeks, when the 2 Autos are ready for harvest.
But very interesting with the male. I found one, and only one seed on last year's harvest (which I grew on my balcony). I was baffled, because I had only grown feminised seeds and saw no signs of male flowers on any. The only explanations I could think of, was that either it had caught some pollen from the air, or it turned hermaphrodite because of a very late harvest. But I planted it to see what would happen, but unfortunately, it seems to be a male.
