looks like a female to me, but would it be possible for you to get a bit closer up of the v, right where the pistils or stamenate flowers would be?

Personally, either way I would give it a couple days to ensure you don't chop prematurely myself. Hard to tell from the picture, but even if it is male it won't hurt any until the sacs grow and fill with pollen. Just my two cents.
Ah, perfect. I was worried they would bust all over my other plants. They only blow once they're under 12/12 lighting? Nothing can pollinate under the current 24/0 light cycle?

i agree with this, even if it's a male, you've got plenty of time to identify it before it does it's thing..

Not exactly, more so the sac and pollen has to mature, doesn't just show up overnight. If you decide to let it go and find out it is male, put a garbage over it gently and tight or tape it tight to the pot prior to removing from the grow space. This will ensure that it doesn't drop pollen in the room, Just like anything else it takes time for the plant to produce the male parts as well.

Pre -flowers...hate em! Sometimes they are difficult to sex correctly. I stopped worrying or even thinking about pre-flowers a long time ago. Mostly because I buy and grow only feminized seeds. But femmed can hermie and they are coming from a seed bank and it is possible an error was made and I got shipped a regular seed which was a male from start...

At any rate...I don't try to determine prior to 12/12. However, males do tend to show earlier and the sacs can indeed mature and pop in a very short time. So when pruning and/or watering I check nodes for nanners. Other than that 12/12 is the best time to sex properly. Just my humble opinion.

OOPS! I forgot to give you my opinion about your plant...I agree with TNT...I would let it go for now but I would also keep a very close eye on it.
