Like Beech said, I'll just have to keep watch on it for the next few days to 100% it. Really hope it ends up I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure, like 90% sure.

Alright. What was bugging me where the little guys circled, looked like pre-male signs, not the little leafs that grow down there.

Those could split into calyx and expose their pistils. give it a few. unless there's multiple in the same spot you are not looking at a male..

ADT- Also forgot to mention one thing. the Pollen sacs in my pics aren't big. they are tiny. Microscope pictures. the first pic is magnified by 50x and the second is around 200x......

In my experience.... Male preflowers have a stem of their own that grows about 2-3 days after they first appear.. the Calyx is just an ovule at the node... Good luck buddy, I'll be sure to check back and see how its going

I was going to add this. I have had to wait out pre-flowers and
either they show hairs or they get the little stalk.

Good luck!

Pic 1: Plato Plant, no confirmed sex. Pic 2: Unknown #1 Plant, confirmed female, heavy LST job. Pic 3: The four Plato seedlings, all got repotted except one, ran out of soil, getting more tomorrow.

Note to self: Topped one of the four smaller Plato plants; started LSTing one. Transplanting the one smaller Plato, that didn't get transplanted when the other three did, tomorrow.

It's going to be like Christmas this week. Ordered a bunch of stuff coming, 7 packages lol, so I can get a stable, perpetual type, grow going, and stop fking around with no nutes and bagseed. I got veg lights for a cab so I'll have a separate area for flowering and vegging. I the right size pots, nutes for flowering and some veg stuff. Tons of FFOF soil, ppm meter, hoping my Barneys Farm 8Ball Kush seeds arrive this week, dome for cloning. No more screwing around!!

Haha hell yeah, I'm watching your journal too. My plan is to focus on a maybe three max strains at a time, clone a little, just try to get the best of what I got before I move on to something else, truly understand the strain before I move on you know.

I hear that. I am going to grow out what i have now(waiting for these auto's to finish first..) I'll save one clone of each fem for the next grow(13 strains) and add another group of strains and grow out some of my own crosses.(My first breeding project and it's not in anyway small or simple). Good luck man. i got a lot of bouncing around to do. may stop back in for a chat if you're around later.

First is the Plato plant, it's been vegging for 37 days, just recently transplanted to a 5g bucket. A lot of nice tops, really bushy. The second set is Unknown #1, it's been vegging for 46 days now. I don't really know what to think of this plant, but it's a confirmed female. Not expecting much of a yield from her, but anything is better then nothing right. She also was recently transplanted into a 5g bucket, and LST'd like 6 or 7 times. I also tried FIMing her and got 3 tops from it, just not great long tops. Hoping to start feeding this week as well for these two older ones. Itching to flowering both of these to move on but I won't have my veg cab set up until next week, so longer veg time for them. The last four pictures are more four more Plato plants, vegging for 19 days now, each looks a little different, and only one resembled the bigger one I originally planted, and one is a lot more stretchy then the others, might be early signs of a male, could just of some sativa heavy phenos. I am also doing different training on each. I've topped one a day or two ago, I've been LSTing another, the stretchy one and the one the looks most similar to the bigger original I have just let to do their own thing. So now if you actually read all of that you know what's going on, if you didn't I don't blame you, it's kind of long haha. Well here are the pictures, ordered from Plato to Unknown #1 to the 4 younger Platos.
