No u can't tell just by the smell or any other way. It'll take either a week to two weeks of flowering for most regular non-auto strains to show sex, OR 5-7+ weeks in veg for them to show.

i can see hairs coming out of one of my plants and she is only 3 weeks old they are sitting about 11 inch tall i a about to put them in to flowering as i have limited space for tall plants . is this ok to do ????

also one o the plants roots is coming throw the drain holes does this mean i need larger pots ?

yes it is time to repot them. try to repot them only once. so you dont give them shock from the transplant twice.
