Male or Female?

So I am super new to growing, but I’ve done some research on how to grow and what not. I started growing this baby Nov 24. It’s been 2 months and I cannot tell if it’s a male or female. I do not see the pollen sacks nor do I see the hairs. Is it too soon or am I missing what to look for?

I can't see either one yet. Are they on a veg or flower lighting schedule? Mine would not show until I flipped to flower.

Maybe that’s it. There’s more light on it right now.
Could be. Early sexing can be tricky depending on the strain. There is a technique that some use which involves flipping to flower for a few days and, after determining sex, reverting back to a vegetative state. Many argue that this stresses the plant, and it does, but it can save you a month of time and money.

Trick I have told others....use a black garbage bag and cover one branch completely for a few days. That branch will sex while the rest of the plant vegs.

Dont use this method is stunts growth

That in my opinion is to early for a definitive yes or no but I'm going to say female. Be patient the plant will tell you once its mature enough. How many weeks veg is it

I don't because I have a small grow but it's useful in a commercial grow where growing out males could cost thousands. I offered the advice just in case. I also explained it stresses the plant though. Not sure why you would take time to tell me not to do it.

That growth of 2 months is telling .... no lateral branching .
