Male or Female? Please advise....
Stupid question to everyone who's planted weed before...... How do you determine Male and Female?
I've never planted cannabis before. Its a new hobby of mine! Got to know the truths behind the stigma and LOVE the plant!!!
Don't smoke or consume myself and completely clueless. Harvest will be donated to a friend of mine suffering from Cancer. Will also try some homemade edibles myself!
ANY OTHER ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

seems female
have you flipped the lights to flower yet? once you flip to 12/12 within a week or so you should see white hair like pistils coming from where bud sites would be and or start from where you took the pictures. if you aren’t at the size you want it to be let it be 18/6 until then, then flip to 12/12. female will have the pistils, male will have ball sacs and you’ll want to discard. so far looks like a nice and healthy plant so good luck!
male is trickier. it doesn’t always show up as early or as prominent. but a female will have random pairs of pistils(white hairs) pop up in veg. best way is to test. you can cut clones and put them on a 12/12 schedule while they root. Label well! the females will start to produce pistils, the males will produce balls. you can spend money and buy testing kits online. I think it’s like ~$10 per plant or something and only takes a few days. But if you bought feminized seeds from a reputable source then then I would say they are all female.
You're plant seems at first sight to be a female, but if it's not on 12/12, but as the rest of the community say, females, product petals, males, balls. Hopefully this will help you, and happy growing, mate. 👍
