Is this the sign of a FEMALE?

One of my two plants has a really skunky scent, the other one does not at all. I have had them flowering for a week now, is this a sign of a female? The skunky one is tiny compared to the other one and the root system is about 1/10 the size of my big one.... I hope this is not a sign! I have never heard of it before, if not I will just wait for pistils.....

that is not a sign at all. wait for the pistils once flowering.

only go by pistils or balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah that doesn't mean squat, normally you'll find you can weed out distinguished males before females..

Nice, I didn't think so but I wanted to be sure...Balls or Hairs only, I got it! Thanks

When you see a male you'll know it.. Females you get kind of iffy on if you haven't had much experience..

give this a look.

Thanks bot, you are right, I knew when I had a male. It turns out one was male and the other one wouldn't flower in 2 weeks and 3 days, in fact it stopped growing completely, maybe some light was leaking in, but it was right next to the other plant that had shown sex in 9 days. I ended up turning that plant into clones after a few days of 18-6, and the clones are just starting to root today. Hopefully I didn't waiste my time with this one but I couldn't kill it completely off not knowing.. I will let u know. The skunky smelling one is the one that I cloned, the other was male.

hey dude its pretty bad to take cuttings and clones when in flowering as t can stress the plant and it may be come hermi (turn for female into male)

I know, and thanks for your concern. The plant was fucked so I figured I would practice my cloning skills. I just lost all my plants top root rot so I'm done with all this for a while, thanks for all the help everyone!

look for pistils if it has pistils its a female if it has little ball shaped things its a male
