branching of weed plants in relation to sex

two and a half months ago I took a number of clones from the first weed plant I've grown the mother a bubblegum was a month into bud cycle when I did it. one of the clones I planted outside and it took a long time to go from budding to it's veg stage, now it's about two feet tall and looks nothing at all like it's mother. the mother branched with two branches growing from opposite sides alternating 90 degrees all the way to the cola, but the clone has no symmetry it branches off one at a time in any direction there was also a difference in leaf size. my buddy just told me that weed plants that grow in the symmetrical manner are male and that weed plants that grow in the other unsymmetrical fashion are female true or not

also the mother was trimmed (too early) and in some of the bottom nugs I found the beginings of seeds? could the clone i took have been fertalized and now be a cross (I found a male in my room a plant a buddy gave me) between the male and my bubblegum

I think the grow section is where you will find help on this issue.

You're refering to alternating nodes

The only other early indication of sex is that the female plants tend to be shorter and have more branches than the male. The males tend to grow taller,having a larger space between the nodes(branches)
