male vs female height

I've researched and found that:

males: -grow taller than females from germination
-have fewer leaves
-and you all know the rest

females: are generally more bushy and have less distance between nodes.

With this information i have a feeling that i have one male and one female. Question is should i just ditch my taller plant since that could be the male? they are both in vegetative

Hell No, Don't pull it yet...

You done researching and that's good, however, wait till you see sex.

Males will show balls.

Females will show little white hairs.

Sex may show in preflowers, but may not show until actual flowering. Height and bushiness have nothing to do with sex. So wait till you see the balls before you yank it.

I dunno, I've had 2 particular male plants that smelled strong while I was trying to determine the sex for sure on them. One hydro, one outdoor. I was fooled by them both. Also, I have a female plant that has grown a LOT since transplant, I was SO convinced it was a male because it grew about 20 inches in 6 weeks :O

Finally got a chance to snap a picture, here are the plants I am talking about. The left plant is actually elevated too. I am not going to kill any plant here, just trying to get some comments ^^
