No i didn't try phosphorus

Phosphorus helps induce flowering, good bud set. Ill give a little dose to sex as they will keep veging. You want to start flowering right? Give the plant a heavy feed of your bloom fertilizer based on your nutrient directions.
But dont forget to look over the whole plant. Sometimes you'll see the balls or hairs in the top if nothing at lower nodes.

Try looking in the top third of the plant, theres got to be something. On some strains ive had to have a magnifying glass and kinda open the calyxs to see a hair. If no balls yet its hopeful but not gauranteed female. But id ne putting money on its a sneaky male if there's no sign of sex yet. Ive seen them sneak thru April-may sexing then all of a sudden in mid August the whole plant declares male. Sucks chopping a 7 footer and many potential pounds lost.
Did you try some phosphorus to induce flowering/sexing?

Better pic but try and get a shot thats "seeing eye to eye" with the top instead of over head. Flash is really strong, reflecting off leaf's making it hard to see.

Theres also a nutrient issue going on. Can see it in this pic clearly, and the first one today those lower leaves were showing something. The phosphorus will help so will some calcium and magnesium.

That is good thought process, less is more. Which gives you the choice to add more later, without over doing it.
Its really hard to give too much calcium and magnesium to cannabis. My favorite go to is dolomite lime.
And a dose of phosphorus to push sexing wont over due it.
If youve grown good tomatoes before cannabis is very very similar to its nutrient needs.

I think that plant was still a bit immature in the first post, the branches had just begun to grow opposed vs side by side.
Some strains take longer than 4 weeks to show.
It just is on its own schedule, which is probably not going to be June finish. Looking like a sativa grow.
That last picture sure looks female, no telltale pods and branches are swelling at the nodes.

I have one plant from seed...structure is completely different from the others...verst fast growth, large fans, fairly open branching. Node sites are identical to above.
She is still vegging, but going to soon outgrow the size I like.
Waiting for conclusive evidence of female parts, lol.
Hoping it's not male., I'll just toss if in doubt. Sorry for the ramble op.

12-16 weeks for quite a few sativas, I'd go with somewhere in that range.
I have a hybrid that still is in transition like yours for another week, then 12-14 weeks after that at the earliest, for an indica/sativa strain that I have.

Why I dont run sativas...I prefer indies for pain anyway, but the stress and anxiety of running a plant for 15 weeks of flower is sooooo unappealing to me lol..
Kudos to those that do.
