Are these the female things? Lol

just wondering if these are the sex determining hairs I am supposed to be looking for or not..thank you.. the 2 little prongs by the central stem look like just part of the stems structure in the picture but in fact are not connected and seperate from stem .. soo just was curious

not yet,you wont miss female pistols same place or there abouts but bright white pistols showing.

Yeah figured too early was just wondering what those things are.. will they meld into the stem eventually for support or be part of leaves upon expanding.. just curious.. this plants like the alpha.. so I am worried it may be male.. I hear males usually grow faster than females .. to naturally get higher than females for easier fertilization

Keep a close eye a few times a day, you'll see the male parts usually before the female one in my experience. The males will usually make little round balls at first

BTW how do you "Like" a comment on here? I've seen others do it and can't seem to figure it out. Thinking it's because I'ma new member.

Those are stipules.

Haha yeah.. i just saw those .. it def has a rebel attitude this plant is a beast .. other plants had a couple hiccups over watering and stuff.. meanwhile this thing grows new leaves daily.. its now sprouted 3 5 and 7 finger leaves literally at every nook and crevice .. first grow soo didnt realize that happened.. also was wondering. I was considering double topping or fimming.. will this reduce height though? I have 12 feet head room.. its a closet.. and as my first grow.. Kinda want them to be as tall as possible lol.. as stupid as it sounds .. my girlfriends 4 10.. wanted them taller than her for pics and laughs

wow good catch on the stipules .. just googled it .. definately right on that one.. thank you.. helpful, they do look quite alot like what was described as the female part to me soo now I know the difference.. thank you.. bummed I cannot confirm feminism of it yet.. but glad the plant is growing healthy enough to sprout leaf protectors around it i suppose lol

This may be helpful.

Is there a specific age range that they really show usually? So i dont turn every day into a photoshoot.. These are mid 3 weeks into veg and are photo plants.

Most plants will show pre-flowers around 6 weeks of veg........but some never show sex until the light change.
My advice........chill out and focus your energy on keeping the plant healthy.
