too early..need to watch for 2 white hairs or other balls forming next to it.

Should show within 1-4 days likely.

males usually show first but at least it ain't on a stalk so good chance it's a lady

not until you see white hairs (2 will come out of preflower)

many claim to be able to sex by shape of preflower but over many years I gave up guessing at preflowers myself. (may work better on specific strains?)

If it is male then balls will begin forming right next to that preflower and that should be visible within days....if it's all ready been some time showing (and no balls) likely is female

if you want to speed things up then stick it in 24hr dark (make sure no light leaks)
will show very quickly then...

I put it out side yesterday because people on ig told me it was male... should I bring it back in for 24 hours of dark to see the sex or should I jus leave it out side

If that preflower showed up several days ago (even longer) should be cluster starting next to preflower by now if male and preflower been there for say 4 days (this is my experience under my growing conditions).

I veg 30 days on 24hr light and immediately place in 24hr dark (I use a big thick cardboard box taped up)

these days (unlike 20 years ago) they still usually take 4 days to a week to show (20 years ago they show in day or two after 24hr dark).

You got nothing to loose by placing in dark. (people think they can sex by preflower shape is bunk...or maybe sometimes true but unreliable overall)

I would put it in dark for 24hr...just make sure no light leaks

I value males as much (or more than females)

I make my own seeds!
