my plant is about 8 weeks old and has a good amount of leaves on it now. I have this baby outdoors due to my wife not agreeing on indoor growing. I have heard all types of rumors about how to tell. my buddy told me that if i noticed little like hairs growing beside where the stem leaves the stalk that i have a male, is this true? like i said my plant has like 6 sets of leaves and where the leaf leaves the stalk there is a little hair growing. that is on every set of leaves from where it leaves the stalk. can anyone help explain in dummy terms how to tell the difference?:eek:
