You have to wait till the flowering stage of the plant's life and then look for either white pistols or nuts.

Hope you get a female.
Good Luck

no you dont have to wait untill flowering to determine sex.
and they are called PISTILS not PISTOLS.
and the NUTS are pollen sacks.

there is no such thing as male or female leaves man they all the same you have 2 wait
Look at where the leaf stem meets the main stem you should see 2 tiny calyxes when you see the female pistils the white hairs that protrude from the nodes
males have ball shaped sacks be careful keep watch for early signs of these sacks because they will open and pollinate your females which will result in lower thc count

Your whole plant will be either a male or female in most cases, females are good, dont cut your leaves based on wether you think they're male or female, there's a thread on how to tell that is probably stickied. good luck.

Umm yeah luda I do believe he is correct, there you go again, making a deal about something but not even bothering to try and ADD something worthwhile to the conversation.

Go here for a page about sexing your plant.
They are either Male, Female, or tranny freaks (meaning the whole pant has BOTH female and male parts).
Males and trannies are bad, slay em down before they devirginize your girls.
ignore luda he def hates us noobs.

uuuuuuummmmmm phenom you do believe who is right. ?????????.
and no i dont hate newbies just stupid questions.
and anyone will tell you i am very helpfull to those who ask sensible questions.
the links you have posted are from rollitup and can be found by anybody who bothers to look.
and as i said you can determine the sex before the plant is in flowering but nobody asked so why should i spend my time putting down the facts.

a guide to sexing your plants before flowering.

Early Vegetative Growth
After the initial seedling stage, female plants generally develop more complex branching than the male. The male is usually slightly taller and less branched. (Under artificial light, the differences in height and branching are less apparent throughout growth.)
Some plants develop a marked swelling at the nodes, which is more common and pronounced on female plants. Middle Vegetative Growth
In the second to fourth months of growth, plants commonly form a few isolated flowers long before the actual flowering stage begins. These premature flowers are most often found between the eighth and twelfth nodes on the main stem. Often they appear near each stipule (leaf spur) on several successive nodes, at a distance two to six nodes below the growing tip. These individual flowers may not develop fully and are often hard to distinguish as male or female flowers. The fuzzy white stigmas of the female flower may not appear, and the male flowers seldom opens but remains a tightly closed knob. However, the male flower differs from the female; it is raised on a tiny stalk, and the knob is symmetrical. The female flower appear stalkless and more leaflike.
The presence of premature female flowers does not assure that the plant is a female, but premature male flowers almost always indicate a male plant. Unfortunately, it is much less common for male plants to develop premature male flowers than for female flowers to appear on either plant. For example, in one garden of 25 mixed-variety plants, by age 14 weeks, 15 plants showed well-formed, premature female flowers with raised stigmas. Eight of these plants matured into females and seven became males. Only two plants showed premature male flowers and both of these developed into males. The eight remaining plants did not develop premature flowers or otherwise distinguishable organs until the actual flowering stage at the age of 21 weeks. From these eight, there were four females, three males, and one plant bearing both male and female flowers (hermaphrodite). It does seem, however, that plants bearing well-formed female flowers, on several successive node, usually turn out to be females.
Preflowering
In the week or two prior to flowering and throughout flowering, many common marijuana varieties follow two general growth patterns which depend on gender. With these varieties, you can tell gender by the spacing between the leaves (internodes). For the female, the emphasis is on compact growth. Each new leaf grows closer to the last, until the top of the plant is obscured by tightly knit leaves. The male elongates just prior to showing flowers. New growth is spaced well apart and raises the male to a taller stature. This may by the first time the male shows its classic tall, loosely arranged profile.

some usefull information added to the conversation.
