Wondering if my plant is male or female? and how can you tell

I ordered some feminized Himalayan Gold seeds and planted one. It's about 7in tall and it is about 3.5 months old. I'm new to this stuff and I'm wondering if it is really small because it's a male or what... How can you tell if it is a female? It's an indoor plant also. I'm growing it in Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Mix. thanks!!

3.5 months old??

Something must be wrong if that plant is that old? - it could be a monster in that time. It's early to tell if it's a male or female. I wrote an article here: males and females

cant be the MG, that stuff is gold, instant pounder harvest is what we call it

yeah lol. maybe closer to 3 months

what could possibly be wrong? I'm positive it's been about 3 months

come on bro ... maybe 3 weeks ...

dude seriously 3 months , lol,
how many weeks \ months went past before you thought to yourself, "this is growing a bit slow", ?
at this rate, that plant will be ready in 2013
good luck

What lights do you use? looks like LED?

florescent

Does it look good though? and should i start to see flowering by the looks of it?

It will only flower when the lights are turned to 12/12
It looks 3 weeks old, so if it is three months then something is very wrong. after a few weeks you need to feed it, get some nutrients.
It is embarrassingly small. Not something you want to hear about anything you have...
Looks healthy though, get some better lights, 'fluorescent' is kinda vague.
If you don't want to spend any money or grow anything good, at least go on ebay and get a 130W CFL for like 50 bucks?

Wow..what kind of Flo's? .Get some more light on her.

Seems like LEDs to me, and nice to have Mylar rather than tin foil. Good job.

It needs to flower first, so if you haven't already switched to 12/12 then now is the time. Either way, with closer pictures we should be able to determine the sex about a week or two after the switch to 12/12. Got any closer pics of where the leaves join the main stalk?

they are really cheap Fluorescent lights. Like $10 at walmart

Thanks everyone for the help. And sorry, I can't get close pictures because I don't have a camera and my phone sucks. Thanks again!

hey fellow RUI ers nice of you to be dicks to this guy.

looks like you dont have enough light toss a few more lights on her and she will grow like a mofo, also make sure she isnt rootbound, prob need a bigger pot soon

Thanks a lot man. Sorry, but root bound? What exactly is that?

Means that the roots have gotten too big for the pot they're in. It will slow/stop growth.
The plant looks too small atm for that to be an issue.

Did things get better?
