Male Or Female???

ok, my plants about 3 weeks or so, n im starting to see these little slender things that seem to split at the end, right at the beginning of the nodes.sorry, my camera is shit n it wont zoom in close enough to get a clear image of what im seeing. just wondering if its even possible to tell now i guess. (im thinking female, but im not 100%.)

a picture is always very useful, cant go far without seeing it, if theres balls its a male and if you see white hairs(pistils) its female, heres a pic of both sex. what you might be seeing is the stipules, if you only see those shes not mature enough to show her sexView attachment 1776417


btw at 3 weeks most plant dont show sex (or you need a trained eye) i did had a new blue diesel with some very huge balls at week 2, hard to miss ( the female also did show at week 2) but thats because of the blueberry indica side of the cross

yes thats exatly where they "spawn" (sorry gamer vocabulary hehe), thats not where there will be buds, but its the first place to chek to determine sex during vegetation and early flowering

just lookout for white hairs next to the stipules, as soon as you see those white hair you know its a female (or hermie, but ive never seen one with my own eyes)

if u ever have seen a pistil before u should be able to tell.. if the thing splits im sorry to say sounds like a male.. it should be a little teardrop shaped thing except pointing up kinda.. with 2 white hairs poking out .. if no hairs and just tear drop .. could be female.. but if it splits more then likely a male... im in the middle of sexing 40 seedlings.. that are all about 4-5 feet tall in VEG.
