Its not 12/12 here in NY yet -- but I saw this today --

is this just new growth? Or is this the signs of the sex?

my plants have them too and i think its just new growth, but this is my first year so i wont say im 100% sure.

almost all my branches have little shoots growing on both sides. best thing to do is just watch them closely and in a day or 2 you should be able to tell if they are just new branches/leaves growing or flowers starting to form

hope this helps, i would take my advice with a grain of rice.

12/12 is more for indoors. Mine began flowering last week in PA. It's hard to tell from the pic. The nodes are alternating so you should be seeing signs soon. Check a node or two lower with a eye loupe or magnifying glass. If you see a small ball formation its probly male, if the growth lookds more like a pitcher w/ a small hair growing from it its female. You can also take a picture and zoom in on the camera, thats how I did it. Good luck and let me know what you find.

Not all the time, but most of the time males shoot up real fast and stay real lanky looking. Your plant has a very distinct calex with pistols protruding. Nice full healthy plant from what I can see!

the nodes are alternating so the plant is fully mature...you will see sex soon if she hasnt shown yet ! I think what youre looking at in the picture is new growth. Pistils will be very obvious when you see them, 2 bright white hairs coming from a little green pod. If you see balls, destroy it !
