Is there a way to identify sex before plant actually shows it ? Cannabis is illegal in my country so i probably cant send leaves to a lab legally right ?

Take a clone/cutting and put it in 12/12 light immediately. It will show sex within a week or two, even if it’s not rooted. I’ve seen ppl also just put a paper bag over one branch and it will begin to show sex after a week or two also.

There is absolutely no way to tell a male seed from a female seed.!! With plants it is very difficult and there is no 100% certain way to tell before flowering commences. Generally though, males will grow faster and taller with fewer/smaller branches and females will grow slower and have longer branch growth earlier, but this is not a 100% reliable method as I have had very bushy/branched males and very tall females without much branching. Another method is to look at your seedlings at night, it seems females will have their leaves folded downwards towards the main stem and males will keep their leaves in a more horizontal position, but again, this method is not 100% reliable, but it is a good clue. In a lab they will identify the plants chromosomes which will indicate either male or female. Obviously this technique is expensive. Buying feminized seeds solves a lot of guess work. Pev Grow in Spain would be able to send some seeds to you. I have been using them for years with 100% postage arrival success. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Plant some seeds. Bring them into flower aorund week 5 by switch lights to 12/12 Then bring it out of flower when it shows sex by switching lights back to 18/6. Make clones of the females. or Used feminized seeds and skip all the troubles. Good Luck!

Plant 4 girls , one will be girl by math only.... Chuck others, transplant best and enjoy. If you have regulars it's cheaper to buy feminised seeds than pay laboratory bill ... Good luck !

Try to find, there is hard believe in shape, type and stripe of bean to be more female than male. I think UK FIELD NINJA had it. But in reality : https://www.google.com/amp/s/potguide.com/blog/amp/574380/can-you-tell-if-a-cannabis-seed-is-male-or-female/ All the Best !
