The new growth is not screaming with pre-flowers nor or there signs of males. Im going to cross my fingers that five of the seven grounded plants are girls but I dont think I will really know for sure until the end of the month.

I have some huge plants in containers that I dont have a clue what sex they will be. I think they are males because the ones I thought showed evidence of pre-flowers I planted in the ground for bigger yield purposes than keeping in pots. Its a little frustrating having 6-8 large containered plants that are chest high and still not showing but my males tend to show late, like in August, even if they are started in April. Indoor guys seem to find out the males in 6 weeks. Wish it were that easy spotting them early outdoors.
