Male/female?

Hey guys/gals, I'm about 4-5 weeks into flowering my Blackberry Kush and needed some advice.
i am unable to clearly tell if it is fem or not and want some opinions. I know at 5ish weeks it should be a bit farther along but my other blackberry I destroyed by over nute so I'm really cautious on nutes right now, doing maybe 1/16 strength to keep from destroying what I have left..

snyway please let me know if you can decide male or female, thank you.

Veg was about 6-7 weeks and flower has been about 5.
24hr veg and 12/12 flower, all CFL except for two T5 fluoros, I think 55w ea.
CFL lighting is about 300w total (consumption) and is pretty blinding.
I know MH/HPS is better at that usage but I'm running with what I have for now, humidity stay 48-49% and temps is 76-78 F.

I water 2x a week, 72oz of water gets me about 10% runoff, and every other week I water with a very very diluted mix of Tiger Bloom. About 1/16 strength. My blackberry begged longer than my White Castle and I forgot to FIM it so its about 3.5 feet tall now and pretty big around. My White Castle had 4 weeks just about and is close to 2 ft tall but VERY bushy and holy god does it stink. Smells like a ripe bag of $40 a gram.

(People pay that here btw, green is very hard to get here, and GOOD stuff is like trying to win the lotto)

Forgot this photo.
I was going to say that pic a defiantly see pistols at the bottom. That is strange she or he hopefully she is not showing her sex yet 4-5 weeks of flower :confused: you should be able to see lot's of ball's or lot's of pistols at least in my experience in that amount of time Do you have any light leak's? Well keep us updated good luck (edited Sorry I miss read your post that 2nd pic is a girl but you should see more hairs then that at 4-5 weeks )

Could be new stipules too.

Regardless, 5 weeks of 12/12 is far too long, not to be in full flower.
are you looking in the circle it looks exactly like calyx's and pistols , sorry ima disagree little white hairs (pistols) do not look anything like stipules

If you vegged for 6-7 weeks, you should have already seen preflowers. To only see this after 4-5 weeks of 12/12 and 6-7 weeks of veg...well, something is definitely not right here.

I, too, would say it's a girl based on the photo, but I also agree it shouldn't be a question at 5 weeks in. She should have tons of pistils at this point. So the big question is why doesn't she?

I'm with the poster who question whether you're really on 12/12...do you have a light leak that might be preventing a true 12/12 schedule?

Oh geez... I'll get a blackout curtain today then... And the blackberry is 3.5 ft tall about, maybe a tad taller, and White Castle is about 2 maybe 2.25 ft tall... :( damnit I don't have room for plants bigger than 5.5ft
