It already smells

Hey I'm new to this forum so I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post in.
Anyways, I have a couple 2-3 week old super skunks growing. One of them already smells, the other one doesn't. Should I assume that the one that doesn't smell is a male? I wanna get rid of it asap.
And how long do I usually have before the male starts pollinating?
Thanks to anyone that could answer any of my questions.

you aint going to tell by smell mate..

Don't assume anything.

Wait until you see bananas. Then pull 'em.

Males show first.

And you will have a grace period between the time you see the balls and the pollen burst.

So relax.

You won't know until the plant sexually matures. As for males showing first. That is not the case for me. The females showed merely at the same time. Stench doesn't necessarily mean it's female just the type of weed it is. If its short and busy with short stems there is a good chance it is a female. I usually identify them by appearance and so far I've been right.

They're both super skunk though, and one has a distinct smell already, while the other has no smell whatsoever.
I guess time will tell, but thanks for the reassurance, hopefully it IS female, not male.

The law of averages will eventually prevail.

There are exceptions, of course. But....

Males show first.

Regardless of it being male or female, the plant that already has a strong smell will more then likely be the more potent plant as well.
