I know I've made the mistake in the past, so my advice is clear - give it time to develop before u throw away a healthy plant.
Everyone panics - "oohh i think it's a male :/" but work it out! average ratio is 1-1, not everyone's plant is male!!
Very early growth of female flowers - especially when they suddenly burst out all over the plant looks very much like male pollen sacs at first.
Be patient - & if ur not sure, isolate the plant (but don't deprive it of light) until u are positive.

Well said. S12 had the same problem and binned a couple way to early. poor bugger, still, he got 2 girls in the end so all wasn't entirely lost. I was positive I had a girl but came to a point myself in early flowering when I wasn't completely sure whether I'd made a mistake. By about a week though it became obvious that I was worrying over nothing. A few extra days of indecision wont bring on the end of the world.
