Pistols or no?

I have a plant that’s on the early side, but I wanted a small yield for my first, inexperienced grow. About a week and a half ago, I switched over to 12/12, and I FIMmed 12 days ago. New growth is sprouting everywhere along the plant. My main question is about the very top new growth, included is a picture circled in green at the top, I can’t tell if these are the beginning of the white pistols? It’s hard to get close up to them, so I wanted to see if any of you knew. Thanks!47E146F7-99CE-4776-8DFF-458AE909A137.jpeg48B48164-1931-4CBF-9EC6-1BEF58A79F6E.jpeg

Depends on the strain. but typically a few days to a week. Note that if the plant is male, it will start showing pollen sacks instead of pistils. Just update your post here in a couple to few days wit9D6EE9A4-C34C-4A03-B926-FA9B163DFCBD.jpeg4D8DE737-5CE7-4DB1-B1C1-820CB3241A26.jpegEB87511E-0093-4FC3-B866-4B66AB0C2F35.jpegh new pictures and we'll help you identify the sex.
Hey, I was gone over the weekend, and came back and there was definitely a significant amount of growth. Here’s the updated view from the top and sides, let me know if there’s anything new you notice about the possible sex, thanks!

Appears as though it's still too early to tell. Some more patience is needed.
Here’s a couple days later, probably still to early, just wanted to share the growth either way, but I think I do see new growth at the base of the top branches, unsure of what they are yet.D632D49E-5DB1-49B8-8B93-51888D3476F6.jpeg01F9EB37-52C0-4F24-A210-D84E24EF5FF1.jpegFF6EDCC3-BD05-4687-858D-9C1126DCDBDB.jpeg6ADA27DE-2190-49AE-9C0A-F6AF9AEEDA83.jpeg

This may help.
Thanks, that does clear it up a little. I’m just curious as to how soon should I expect those with how my plant is doing at the moment. Or like how can I confirm they’re pistils, like Will a lot show up at once or? Because when the new branches at the base formed, they appeared to be pistils, until they started growing leaves.

It honestly depends on the strain, some won’t show until they’re in flower. Then some will show a preflower while in veg.

Well, I can’t remember the exact date, I didn’t write it down, but it’s been on the 12/12 cycle for at least 3 weeks or so now, 2 and a halfish at the least.

It’s my first grow, and I didn’t exactly start off with the right or strongest equipment (MG advanced potting mix, a simple dual head grow lamp off amazon, and a makeshift grow box out of cardboard boxes and foil lined inside. Not anywhere correct likely, but I honestly never expected it to sprout, so I’m proud of it so far.
