Tall lanky seedlings are supposedly males and the squat bushy ones females, or so the old advice goes. In practice I have had plenty of short stocky males and tall females, and the growth habit tends to follow the genetics of the line more than the sex. Sexing folklore like this is picked apart on https://breederregularseeds.com, and the writer points out that the only early indicator with any support is that males sometimes show preflowers a few days sooner. Wait for the nodes rather than guessing from the silhouette.
