The present teaching disclose a CANNABIS GENDER IDENTIFIER that accepts an input sample derived from a cannabis plant and quickly detects the presence the endogenous molecules associated with male, female or hermaphrodite expression in cannabis plants, also known as gender associated targets (GATs), with the assistance of biochemical reactions. A candidate for GAT selection is any endogenous molecules that is differentially exhibited in cannabis genders. The gender identifier houses indicators that bind to GATs which emit signals in a reaction area when the GATs are bound to the indicators. The gender identifier analyses the contents in the reaction area, and communicates the results of the reaction to the viewer, indicating the associated gender of the input sample.
