How long till my plant shows sex?

My plant is coming up on 9 week old growth tips are almost 3inches long and no sign of hairs or balls how much longer does any one think ?

9 weeks veg?

Any day now...

Within the first week, you should see changes. Maybe two, max.

pics of the plant will be useful, also have u switch the light schedule yet to 12/12?

I assumed that either OP had switched to 12/12 or the plant is autoflower. Figured it was a given.

It's an out door grow it sprouted on the 28th of May it has a skunky oder to it but only if you run your finger along the stalk not sure if that helps usually see sex by now though is it possible it's a hermi?

If that is 9 or 10 weeks old then it is far behind. Something is holding it back.

If it wasnt held back it wouldve shown sex around 35ish days from when the seed popped...roughly...

Well it was up rooted at 5days old by an animal so I replanted it and remarkably it grew again then a about 3weeks ago or maybe a month it got attacked by slugs and mites but no issues now just not showing I've been using Fox farm grow big should I switch to tiger bloom would that help maybe?
It's a bag seed also so I have no idea of origin but looks like a indicia sativa hybrid maybe more indicia I'm thinking

Or does the problem stem from not putting them directly in the ground

watch between the nodes, shouldnt be to long after the 12/12 flip

Yeah that's not till the begining September and where I'm from we start in ether april or may depending on frost and the weather was terrible in April still had snow haha so I couldn't start to the very end of May basically June and 12/12 starts very end of August and early September but I've still seen sex show by now and since it's still stumpy will it get any bigger it's only maybe a foot and a half the guy who I got the seed from just told me he thinks it was a Cinderella 99 which i thought was a sativa dominant hybrid and the leaves to me seem a little fat to be a sativa and to my knowledge they take 50 to 60 days to flower and in 2days will be 60days exactly so im just lost haha

Some show sex quicker than others. Ive seen pistils in veg after a month on 18/6. They will let you know

Yeah everyone I know has sad it's probably a late bloomer and will dubble in size my thought is it a root issue but I don't like using rooting hormones I've been looking for a natural way I've herd molasses work but would like to hear if others had tried it cause I'm a botanist and and know the more roots means a bigger plant just haven't found a reliable way to do it naturally

Ok, now that I have been an asshole (I feel great remorse by the way)...I will identify what I see IMHO as being some of the issues. If you have the option of outdoor growing...why not take your option and grow in the ground? The plant is very under developed for 9 weeks outdoors. Also, outdoors the plant will not flower until it's light cycle is shortened to a bare minimum of 14 hours. Tiger bloom will not help induce flowering in the least bit.

Ok, so your friend told you it was Cinderella 99 (a very good strain) but, did your friend grow the parent plant or clone? Even if it were C99 which is Sativa dominant and has a pretty short flowering period (50-60days). Depending on it's pheno type (if it has one) it may or may not grow out like a sativa. There are 6 breeders according to seed finder of C99. only 2 of them have feminized seeds. The other 4 have only regular seeds. So, don't be in such a hurry to see flowering...the longer it takes to begin the greater chance of being a gurlie. Typically and in general males will show earlier than females.

Everyone you know is wrong according to the strain data. 50 to 60 days is pretty damn short for a sativa dominant plant. Anyway that comes back to the fact that outdoors you pretty have much have zero control over when flowering begins.

Now, all that being said...for all the issues you have had this grow...overall the plant looks healthy. You have a desire and a bit of instinct to grow....you can do much better. Up your game from growing some weed to cultivating cannabis Do some reading, buy some good genetics from a reputable breeder and go for it. Keep in touch with your progress!.

Mycorrhizae and molasses diluted with water at 1 Tbsp molasses to 1.5-3.8 liters of water, "Botanist."

Thanks everyone I'll take everyone's opinions into consideration you all have been a great help I've just never encountered such a strange plant and by strange as in how it grows also my guy breeds them himself now I'm not sure where the seeds came from before as he's been doing his own breeding for years so he has some for the next season but again thank you every one

How are you a "botanist" at 21? You start grad school when you should have been a Sophomore in high school?

I would refer to you as a hobby horticulturist if anything, as I refer to myself when I am speaking about my hobby in code. Otherwise, I refer to myself as a closet medical grower.
