Sexing question

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've added another post with the image which maybe is easier to access (had some problems on mobile).
Anyway, thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on things and keep posting. One thing that's surprising is the size difference between the two. Both have been in basically the same lighting, etc.
Best,
P

How many hours of light are you giving them?
As far as size goes there can be many causes for the difference. May be genetics, may be sex (males tend to be taller and less compact), but there no clear rule. Just make sure they are in 12 hours per day lighting in you want them to flower and then in about 2 to 3 weeks you should see the sex of the plant.
There is no need to rotate them, but there is no harm in doing that if you don't overdo it.

Unlike babies (which they are) they don't come with their organs attached. Drop their nickers or boxers in 6 weeks or so and have a look

Just this guy, ya know?
Yes you will get buds, but the buds will have seeds in them from the combined genetics of the 2 plants. If you already have seeds to plant for the next grow, I would probably remove any male plants. If you do not have any seeds, I would probably keep them to make more.
If those seeds are from the same mother I would say the plant on the right is a male and the one on the left is a female. Females tend to spend a lot of early productivity on making roots to anchor the plant to handle a heavy load of flowers. Males on the other hand spend their early productivity above the ground for a lighter load of flowers.
