    Look at your plants. See how the leaves are coming out in pairs? Cannabis does that as a "baby".

    When they hit "puberty", the leaves will begin to alternate, one leaf on one side, and a little further up on the other side will be the next leaf. That's when you should start looking for signs of sex.

    Where the leaf and stem meet, boys will develop multiple balls, while girls give you a wispy white "high sign". It takes several days for male flowers to be mature enough to open and fertilize females- just check your plants daily and you'll be fine. :) Run a search on sexing and you'll find pictures that will show you what to look for. :D

    If you peek underneath the cotyledons sometimes you can see a little dick or vagina just chilling.
