how long does it take to show sex?

i have grown my baby up for 3 weeks and thought it would be alright to flower because of height issues i have, but anyways i have a Indica plant that is under a 430 watt son-agro HPS light and just put it into budding 9 days ago and still havent seen any signs of sex. the branches that grow out of the nodes are almost passing up the total height of the plant. does that indicate male or female usually? it is about 2 feet tall right now and only getting taller and bushier. so i was wondering if anyone has any idea when i should start seeing the sex?

If you havent seen signs yet its probably a female. If you put it in 24hrs darkness it will show sooner then with 12/12. Some strains just take longer to show~!
