ok not to sure it does smell skunky

i'm not to sure as to whether or not this is a male or female it possibly could be male but i wanted to know for sure.

here's some pics of it.

any insights all welcome and if it is male i should kill it right?

also any advice on growing a plant for the first time like an easy bud to grow from seed i can however get a cutting but i'm worried about the cost of the lights in terms of electricity and how fast the authorities can potentially catch on.

1) There's no way to tell if its male of female from those pics. Not to mention, I think you need to read up on the Grow FAQ. For anyone here to really help you out, we need to know what type of lights your using, what the schedule is for lighting, nutrients, temp, humidity... You get the point.
2) You wont really want to do much else with a male plant other than use it for cooking or making hash. Alot of folks like to chop them down when they find them due to their not wanting seeds popping in someone's face when they light a bowl... If you have a female plant and want to have more seeds, then you can cross the two. Its really your call here...
3) Please refer to 1) regarding your needing to read the Grow FAQ.

kk i'm not even usin lights it was a stupid idea to put it in cold water the seed that is and lo and behold it grew put it in soil and it's just getting bigger and bigger it has stunk out my back room where it is and white hairs are coming from the tops of the clustered leaves if that helps

white hairs would indicate a female or someones grandma

Hey 666% don't worry you will be okay. I remember when I first started using a 150hps, every time I heard a chopper fly over I was positive that the cops were going to bust my door down. Not True! Just go with it. If you are using 20,000 kwh a month and not paying your bill on time then you should start worrying. Be cool! Enjoy!

cheers for the comments lads very happy about the lighting one (hehe) well i'm off to go and look at some lights as i would like to grow my own fed up of funding dealers
