plz help sexing plant!

[acidphiend]

hi guys! I've been growing this plant for about 4 months now. It hasn't always received as much water as it shouldv'e and it got a bit shocked when I transplanted it, also this is my first attempt so I know it's nothing special. I've had it on 12/12 (putting it in a light proof shed, actually sometimes more than 12 dark hours) for about a week now, and still no sign of flowering. Also, I've been feeding it bloom booster every day, about 1/2 strength, and it receives full sunlight for its light period. My big question is, can anyone tell me if its male or female?? I've read a lot of posts and other websites on the topic, but I cant for the life of me figure it out for myself. There's no balls hanging off it, but I don't think its even started flowering yet, so would I still be able to tell? I don't know what strain it is either, it was given to me as a seedling by a neighbour and they weren't sure either. Please if anyone can help me that'd be great - I dunno if the closeup pic I took is any good or not. Also, are there any suggestions on how I might help it flower? I'm only new to the site but I've learned a shitload in the coupla days I've been reading around (about 40 hours worth!). Thanks for any help, and for having such a great resource of info!

 

Cheers!

Mmmmm ... can't really tell from the pic ... resolution is a bit fuzzy that close up ... would need to see closer up directly where a branch joins the main stem. Some strains take longer than others to turn.

 

Anybody else able to pick it ??

here is a better version of the first pic i included. i cant get any more pics at the moment coz i gave back the camera i was using. hope this makes it a bit clearer.

Yeah, I can't tell either, try using a magnifying glass in front of the camera lens, and yeah, get a shot of the nodes side on... (where the branch comes out from the main trunk and has a leaf... there should be a preflower there if it's sexing...)

 

Is it in soil or hydro? I couldn't make it out from this?

[acidphiend]

maybe this is a better pic even?

I cant see any signs of sex, but it looks like a nice sativa dom strain.

[acidphiend]

its in soil. here is the whole plant.

[AussieToka]

Awesome, that should show some nice flowers when it starts flowering.

[acidphiend]

how long does a sativa normally take to flower?

[pipeman]

sativas can take longer to show sex than indicas, so its not surprising it hasn't shown yet. At 4 months old it should be showing preflowers though. It doesn't matter, it will all become clear before long.
