I hate when people don't include pictures of their plants when they need help cause something wrong with them.

no pre flowers yet I do know what a male sac looks like never seen female but i could tell the difference. im asking if the bushy nature of my one plant sets it apart or is it just a better healthier plant

Short answer no male and female plants can look exactly the same until the sex has shown. If you want to know the sex the only way i know of would be to flower until the sex has shown and quickly revert back to vegging. Although i have never tried this.

Bushy sets it apart, in that it's one of the many phenotypes you can / will run across in your grows. This could benefit you greatly if the pheno is stable in that plant, and you wanted other plants that are (I will assume a bit shorter) and more bushy than the rest due to space constraints, etc.

When a male plant "flowers" you will see balls "seed sacks" forming on your nodes. When a female flowers you will see pistels "like lil hairs"...google it and pick images, you'll get a better idea..

There is no reliable way to tell the difference between a male or female before they start growing pistils/stamen unless maybe you're a scientist and your coworkers are cool with you sexing cannibas plants in the lab. I just wait until 12/12 to find out.

also when should i begin flowering i have no height restriction other than a ceiling and can adjust my 4ft florescent also could be raised but i use it for the little ones i dont want to many or too little because my hps isnt that powerful i started seeing heat stress at the end of today by a slight curling leaves you might see in photo the bushyness of the plant set it apart immediatly ive never cloned all bad seed nice bud smells identical any ideas on strain or type
