Sure we can, as soon as you post a picture and the plant is old enough we should be able to tell. The sex should be near the canopy. Or close to the top. @Pati ---

So far it looks like a female. Post another pic in a few days, but I don’t see any seed pods for now. ---

Hi Pati, I don’t believe we have spoken before. Welcome. It’s a female and since it’s an auto it will always b a female unless u do something serious to hermie it. Autos don’t hermie that easily. Good luck ---

Thanks for the nice welcome 👍I’m was just a little worried cause the top looks female and the lower branch does look like a Ball sack. Cheers for your help it’s my first autos but have been growing for around five years ---

The bottom ones are just swollen calyxes. They will turn into pistils soon. She’s getting ready to flower. Congrats! ---

@Pati it’s possible that it’s a hermaphrodite displaying some parts of both sex. If, this is the same plant as the top, it’s both male and female. If pistils don’t come out of those like the top ones, you’ll either have to pluck them off, or kill the whole thing. It’s up to you. Maybe one plant missing isn’t a problem. Hope this helps. @Donaldj @Countryboyjvd1971 ---

Pati. Your plant is female. Those calyxes will swell like that before producing female pistils. Unless u see what looks like a bunch of bananas it’s just premature female parts. Maybe this will help ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/9/e/9ec69a6c884701884e7f226fdcce39ad13c656ad.jpeg) Also look here this is what u r seeing ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/a/0/a063cd5d2589729e1eb6d372c39e61c47259f249.jpeg) ---

Yeah I would agree with @anon95385719 and @Covertgrower they look swollen just make sure they don’t group up into sacks of nuts so far so good I have had them the size of peas ---
