So im not 100% sure on the time line cause i lost tract of time, but i had bought 5 pack of ak48 from nirvana that arent auto flower according to the site and im roughly 1 to 1.5 months into vegstate. they are all 1 to 1.5 feet tall. Ne ways i have noticed on the 1 plant i didnt top that there are a few pistols/callyx's or w.e they are called appearing with the white hairs all ready developed on the few pistols that have appeared. There is only like 4-8 total. Just curious whats going on as im still in 18/6 veg state. have had no power outtages our any thing of the sort to have perhaps tricked the plants into 12/12 for a day etc. if required i can take few snap shots of the ladies. they are doing pretty darn well besides this little mystery. 4/5 are topped,1 ended up being a double top/4 new sites which was neat. and 1 non topped, only my 3rd grow so still just having fun n learning. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers

Some genetic strains will show their sex, or at least pre-flowers when the plant has reached "maturity," as it's referred to. This is often at least a month into vegging so that sounds about right. The pistils are the white hairs, btw, and if they are indeed pistils then congratulations, it's a girl. Hopefully not a chick with a dick though ;)

If they're also female, the others are possibly not showing yet due to the slight delay in development that topping causes. They probably will get there, but if they do it will take a bit longer. If the un-topped one is getting too tall, you could always supercrop it. That would slow the vertical growth by a bit and then the others would catch up if they're behind on height at all.
