Identifying Females
Female plants will appear much different from the males when looking closely at each of the internodes. Instead of pollen sacks forming at each node on female plants, two white/translucent pistils will become erected and be pointed usually in opposite directions. This is an obvious indicator that the plant is female. The pistils will be small and preferably should be examined with a magnifying glass to ensure that they are indeed pistils coming out of the nodes rather than a plant resembling a female and attempting to grow pollen sacks.
This is why the two week flowering cycle is needed, so that each plant can successfully become identified by its gender. Once the pistils have been identified and the male plants remove enter the remaining female plants back into the vegetation stage so that they can grow to their potential size and be put back into the flowering stage in due time.
