I found that this the most stressful part of growing so far. Trying to identify a female plant. Since August I began growing auto flowers. More specifically the *Hey you guys* auto flowers. My first plant turned out to be male. I was pretty sure they were supposed to have a 90% chance of being females but I discovered recently they're not feminized seeds so this in particular is my main concern. I only realized the first plant was male after it had pollen sacs all over it. The second one I'm growing now I've put a bit more effort in especially since it's getting cold out. Instead of growing outside like I did a few months ago when the weather was warmer with the male plant I ended up buying a cheap 40 dollar light set up and have kept it on a 24 hour light cycle out of convenience because I'm not growing at my apartment but my mother's house and am only their once a day. I'm aware that it can potentially stress the plant but from my novice observations the plant seems to be doing great. I planted it (Oct, 1st) and it's 7 inches tall now and broad (Today's date: Oct, 19) unlike the first plant but I don't know if that's due to the difference in sunlight vs the LED grow lights that I'm currently using now. The difference in both plants is substantial in my opinion. I kind of know what to look for to kind of determine the sex but I still don't really understand it. I noticed that today 2 tiny balls are growing between the branches but can't get any concrete answers. I'll post a few pics of my current grow. The 4th pic at the bottom shows the 2 balls between the branches and also I'm not sure if leaves are growing from the armpits of the branches or if it's the flowers. If someone can shed some light on these questions and concerns I'll be very grateful and if your near me and everything goes good growing and harvesting I'll smoke you out instead of a bland thanks over the Internet.
