Is this a male?

This is my biggest plant, it is outdoors it's been in the ground since mid April. This is my first grow so I'm not too sure on everything but this looks like a male to me, anybody have anything to add? Should I just yank it now?

Id give it a week before pulling. Hard to tell from the angle of the picture but it looks like just new leaves forming. I could be wrong but I have always looked for the balls on a stick..meaning the pollen sack will be on its own little stem if male
 
Male pods are rounded

Female are pear shaped and curl like that before pistils show

I'm with stinkymutt on waiting but it appears female from the photo
 
Also your plant looks stressed out. Stress can hermi plants if its yoo much. If those calyxes start forming hard seeds inside yes chop it down. A small bit of white inside the calyx is normal, this is what eventually would turn to seed if given the opportunity.

Hi, you can recognize a female plant from his pre-flowers having a cup-shaped, when viewed behind the base of the leaf, usually between the fourth and fifth internodal branching. Look this pic! Bye

WHere on the plant is that???


The only place to look for sex of the plant are the top 2 or 3 nodes....

look for preflowers..... once you see preflowers every node above that will also have preflowers......

before that the preflowers are often asexual....


From the pics....I would agree ....male...

That looks like a male to me...

but don't chop it until You are absolutely positive that it is a boy.
Once you see what it is watch it develop for a couple more weeks. As long as they're well watered, males are as fun to watch as females. Thirsty males drop pollen sooner. ;) If you don't want seeds in your ladies don't keep him around very long.

Observation is one of the best teachers.

I would wait and see as well, especially since you've been taking care of it since April. I've definitely had plants I was almost sure were males turn out to be females before.
