Preflowers should look like a single calyx with two hairs similar to gazelle horns.

This is the best picture I could find, under the first set of branches the ends of a set of preflowers can be seen. No leafy look at all, just a pair of long white hairs.

No those are normal on both male and female. Do a google image search for female or male cannabis and you will find plenty of pictures. Good news is no sign of a male yet. :)

I wouldn't reveg your main plant, take a cutting from it and put it into veg though.

You can clone it now. If you have more than one plant then label your clones and mother plants so that when you put them into flower and its female or male you know which clones to keep and which to destroy. Also can you get a better shot of the whole plant? It may not really be ready to clone or to flower yet.

Hey dedevil,

I would say that they could wait a bit, especially if you want to take some clones. Grow them out a bit and then trim them up real nice and use the lower braches to make clones right before you switch to 12/12.

If you added a couple of more lights they might grow a bit faster. You might want to hang some above them to encourage upwards growth as well.

Looking good brother.

Cheers,

Thoses are not preflowers. That's where they will be when you see them but that ain't it. You will see two hairs sticking out of a little bulb, when you see the hairs you know it's a girl. If there are no hairs and the bulb is sorta hanging down....your looking at some nuts.

From seed it think you will have to wait till week 2-3 of 12/12 before you see them.
