What do you mean it budded early? If you have it in the vegetative state, there shouldn't be any bud yet, and if you switched over to flowering (12/12) then you should be expecting to see buds. I don't really get your question without more information...

Usually you can tell from just the look of the plant in my opinion. A male looks masculine, they are bigger, the nodes stretched farther apart, it grows faster. Meaning, don't get to excited if some plants are growing really well and getting big, it could be a male. On the other hand, don't always knock the runt of the bunch because that could be signs of a female. They look very feminine and petit, they grow more bushy. Just let time tell you the sex of your plant. Usually males will show signs well before females do so there is not much to worry about if your are watching your plants. Always start with 3 or more plants to increase the chance of getting a female and learn how to clone!

Can someone please help me tell if this plant is male or female? I started with 3 plants as I was told but 2 of them died in replanting :( This is the only one left and it's starting to get large but I don't even know if it is female. I hope it is! Please help. Is it too soon to tell? I have been growing this plant outdoors for quite some time and it's not that large. We had some cool weather and it didn't do anything for quite some time. What can I do to ensure things go well if it is female? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have never grown a plant before. I hope it hasn't all been a waste.

I looked at the previous posts and I don't see balls. there do look like some white hairs at the way top but i can't get a good picture because I only have a camera phone and it sucks. Could it be femlae? I always assumed it would end up a male. (didn't want to expect much)

it looks to me like you are a papa to a beautiful young lady, but the pic doesnt really show the nodes/ brackets ver well. a male will have literally little balls, you can pull em off and they look like imature seeds, once you get a male, you'll always be able to tell the difference

Congrats! You are the proud father of a beautiful GIRL! The pistols you see are called "Pre-flowers" and are definitely female. Now if you can just leave her alone and let her do her thing without overfeeding or overwatering, you'll be in good shape. She will most likely DOUBLE in size when you flower her, so keep that in mind. Leave yourself enough room for that much vertical growth, and then some. When you're ready to flower, give her a SMALL dose of flowering nutes, turn the lights back to 12 on/12 off, and enjoy the ride. Best of luck with your girl. Keep us posted with some pics along the way. Do you know what strain it is?

ArizonaIceTea, It's nice that you want to help bro, but that's some incorrect info there babe. Straight to the "Growfaqs" for you lad. "A male looks masculine, they are bigger, the nodes stretched farther apart, it grows faster." NO. "Usually males will show signs well before females do." Definitely NO.

the only way to tell is when you put them into flowering or get something that the light cant penetrate such as a black bag or something and cover one of the leafs where the bud will grow and cover it for 12 on and 12 off and only that leaf should go into flowering and will tell you if its a male or female within 2 weeks or less
