Can you sex a plant prior to flowering it?

How can you sex a plant without flowering it? Is that even possible?

Google can be your best friend

So even in veg after the plant reaches maturity it will show hairs or balls

From what I saw online people were only able to help if they could see a picture of the plant but I just tried to take some for you guys but my camera wont focus. RIP

How long does it typically take for a plant to reach maturity? My plants are on day 37 of Veg.

as @r0am1ng st0ner stated,, plants show 'pre sex' while in veg,, a bunch round week six of veg. the signs, when there, are unmistakeable

cheers

it helps to have a loupe or some sort of magnification to see the first signs of sex.

Yes if you have a specific plant in mind we would need a pic to give an opinion that means anything, I hear sometime around week 6 they can show their sex

Some will take a clipping for cloning and leave it under 12/12 lighting to help determine the sex. That way they can remove the males before switching the tent lighting to 12/12
