Male or Female?

I wish I had a camera so I could post some pics of my plants but how can I tell if they're male or female from just looking at the general structure of the plant itself?

The leaves aren't real close together like some of the plants I have seen on this website. But from each node where the leaf starts, it's about 3/4 of an inch to an inch before the next set of leaves and this is only for the first two sets of leaves. There are about 3 or 4 pairs of leaves per plant but the upper ones are real close together.

I'm just curious because I did accidentally stretch them using the wrong sort of lighting conditions but I really need to know what gender they are because I don't want to be growing super seedy buds.

I have also heard that male plants have less leaves than their female counterparts but I'm not sure if this is true or not.

It looks very similar to this plant here, but without the yellow leaves and a bit more space between the lower sets of leaves.

Thanks. The picture of the male is great. I'm thinking I got lucky with the plants and they are all females.

But I'm still left with the question; Is a bushier and shorter plant more likely to be female than male? I'm not talking about strains like sativa/indica (different sized plants) but the difference in growth between a male and female plant.

i dont think it being bushy or not makes a difference
 
i agree. i had 2 chemwreckkush and one was very short and bushy while the other grew straight up with little to no side branching. the taller i neglected, the shit damn near died, while i kept the short bushy nice and healthy. around 2 weeks later sex really started to show itself and to my astonishment the tall one was the girl and the short compact one was the boy. come to think about it i should've kept the male and made some seeds; it complimented the female very well.
