Is this a male or female plant?

Too soon to tell.
That looks like it is still throwing opposite, as opposed to alternate nodes, so it's not sexually mature yet. Can you give us a picture of that top node from a different angle?

Looking for an angle that shows that top node from the side so we can see how it's structured. How many nodes is it up to?

Hmmm. It should start throwing alternate nodes soon but clearly hasn't yet.
Looks kinda stretchy. Do you have enough light on it?

Agreed!
Can you lower the light you do have to get it closer to the plant?
BTW, welcome to the site! 
Bit early to tell

Usually in about a month or 2 it should show pre flowers like 2 white fingers if female and tighter internodal spacing and a male will usually show more stretch and no pre flowers if it does they will come out in a cluster not just 2 once you know what you are looking at no need for 12/12

You have the nodes but it is the growth from them that is about nonexistent
.What do you have now for lights? All I see so far is what looks like a spotlight. The more info the better and those that are into lights will be able to offer some suggestions for using what you have or how to add to it.

Never lost her 3 finger leaves so she is healthy but not enough light. She is trying to grow up through the canopy to get light before she wastes energy on branches or maturing. ANY LED or florescent light will help. You can place a 100 wat equivalent household light inches from the plant. You need a fully matured plant begging to flower or 12/12 dark and light schedule to see the sex. Most strains will have staggered branches as they reach maturity. Christmas tree and purple afghan are example of the 10% of plants that always grow branches in pairs all the way to harvest.

And if you can safely have her in a window to soak up plenty of natural sunlight, that might speed things along as well.

With this definitely being a very frequently asked question (I still ask a couple times a year myself) would it make sense to have one thread (this one would be a good candidate) for us to post our subjects and ask the big Q? Or should each still be a new thread?
