Help with preflowers?

[DickTheHick]

Hello all, new here, so hopefully this goes in the right place.

This is my first grow, and I have a couple nice plants that are short and bushy thanks to my training early on. I have had them under 600w HPS on 12/12 for about a week. At the nodes I have started to find pre-flowers on both plants. I have identified white hairs coming out of budding calyxes, but here is my question. All of the pics I have seen online for sexing plants show female preflowers having TWO white hairs (pistils) protruding, and mine almost all have only one. Is it because they are still so young? I mean, these are very small preflowers, and I mostly have to use magnification to see them well. Can you experienced guys and gals take a look at these and tell me if I am on the right track?



Thank you!!

Dick

sometimes you get one, two, or three. When the calyxes fill out you wont be able to count, as they are stacked.

Thanks for the fast responses. Makes me worry a little less lol.. Like I said, first grow and I want to make sure I am not pissing up a rope with these plants
But yeah, no balls at all, just the little upside down teardrops with white hairs coming out. I think it's a girl

BTW tekdc911--that avatar--Does the name "Ghost" mean anything to you

Hahaa--Just wondering--I used to listen to a lot of podcasts and there was a guy named Ghost who had one called "True Capitalist Radio". He used the same avatar
