Just fyi, the way to tell is the female calyx will have pistils. They start out white but will turn brown. If you see these hairs then all is good. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/2/1/921894f1d2d665e6e4dec05ca30ee3964177337c.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/0/3/f0368c06abe8cb621c645bc5f496c5fc802d4e2e.jpeg) ---
