They wont SEED in veg so yer fine
Balls are distinctive, once you see them in flower you have plenty of time to kill the male

All I see is new growth, how long has you been 12/12?

Too early.......no sign of sex.
I zoomed in to the spot pointed out by Red Eyed, and it's not a pistil.

So should I just throw them in flower even if I have yet to determine sex? They're getting to be a decent size and I was thinking first week of December made sense based on space and such. I'm an attentive gardener, so I can check daily after I switch to 12/12. From my reading, I thought catching them while still in veg is ideal... Good to hear I have some time after making the flip to go ball watching.

Plants will eventually show sex in veg...
Alright cool. I'm going to treat them just like any other plant then and do my standard veg defoliation and LST stuff. I'll keep my eyes open... The one I uploaded a picture of is literally 4-5x bigger than the other plants I started on the same day. I've really gotta get her (hopefully) under control.
Thanks

You can get a closer look if you have a loupe. Had a fussy one the other day that didn’t want to show her stuff in veg and sure enough she was a girl. The four others planted at the same time were confirmed a week earlier with the naked eye.
Or as others said wait a bit longer...

Can't tell anything yet. Are they all the same strain? I've found that the males get taller than the females early on even before showing sex. Regardless, you have plenty of time to identify and remove any males before they can pollinate the females.

This....I didnt want to be the bearer of bad news. Usually a true statement.

Nothing wrong with regulars at all. If you have a strain you like you can use the male to pollinate and make more seeds. Most people just want to grow for flower and want to be sure that what they spend their time and space on are female plants. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Some like to reproduce seeds and make their own crosses which can be quite rewarding. I personally prefer growing regulars as I have a significant amount of genetics that I wish to reproduce more seeds from. I do make feminized seeds as well that I give away to friends. It's quite easy to make feminized seeds.
