Male or female, How can I tell

I'm a new grower, and I'm still trying to figure things out. When it comes to determining sex, almost everyone has said that U have to wait till the flowering stage. However, I did have someone give me another theory; it goes like this. There are two little spike like things that grow on each side of the branches as they come off the main stalk. If these are crossed, or grow towards each other, they are male. If these are spread, growing away from each other, it is female. I observed this to be true with this crop (My first).
Does anyone have any input on this observation. Thx :hump:

I wanna do a few massive seed crops so that I can pick and chose the best of each because just corssing a male and female donesn't meen its gonna be the best compared to the same strain but using diffrent males and females

welcome to the site!
you should probably start your own thread to ask questions (otherwise you are "hijacking" someone else's thread). But to answer your question - no. The leaves are solar collectors for the plants - it is how they absorb sunshine. you shouldn't be cutting anything off your plant unless you have a plan for pruning/topping.

when the stem is still skinny they will be crossed and when stem gets thicker they wont be and only exception is when side branches are starting to become uneven then they can be skinny and not be crossed
