I don't see the female pistols,

from what I've seen, the more mature parts if the plant pre-flower first. They had more time to get older and closer to the pre-flower stage.

You can look at other characteristics, male plants will be taller, more spindly, a longer internode length. Your plants look pretty tight like females. I'm gonna bet there all female just on how they look. When they flower let us know.

female! told ya to look higher!

and in the spot that navy said not to look.

what a moron he is.
I thought the subject of discussion was where to look for pollen sacs on a possible herm, not sexing the plant.

So bmeat please enlighten me as to where you spot pistils at the top node of the OPs plant. Cause i sure dont see it. The plant looks female, but to the OP you will know for sure in flower. To bmeat, the op didnt give us a close up of the top node, so dont know why you are running your mouth, again. I never told the OP to NOT look there, I simply stated that you had no idea if it was female, and telling the OP to look in one location is again an oxymoron. Your pistils can show at the lowest node on the plant, telling someone to look in one area only is as dumb as you are. To the OP, like i said your plant looks female. But only time will tell. Your pistils will show, and can show in any node thats getting the correct amount of lights and nutes. Your top node will not always show first, so please dont take that advice. As i said earlier, never takes just one persons advice. But you will find out, that taking Bmeats advice is frowned upon here at RIU. Peace

Thanks to Everyone who has contributed to the thread, as you can tell it's my first grow but I think I'm doing alright. I've been learning tremendously here on these forums. I now know that might not be the spot to at when looking for sex but here's an updated pic anyway.

Original pic was taken on 2/1

And these are my 3 babies

Like I said earlier at the end of the week is when I'll be changing their photoperiod to 12/12 so I'll know for sure then. I plan on giving them 36 hours of darkness starting Saturday so I've stopped feeding them their Grow nutes and have been only watering for about a week now. Any tips or 2 cents are greatly appreciated.
what are those white hairs in first picture then? that's weird

No you said, vegging plants CAN'T hermie. That is not true. They can.
BUT, most of the time you won't see Hermaphrodite signs until flowering. I've grown 6 Hermaphrodites to full maturity in my last 2 grows, and I'm currently growing 1 now. No true signs of Herming until about 20-25 days into flowering. I log every stage of my grows in full detail. I would guess, the longer you veg the greater the chance you MIGHT see balls before 12/12. (There is no way you could see nanners because bud development hasn't started yet)

Yes, and i have also had plants in flower Hermie in the first week, and last week. I have had plants hermie, i pick off the balls and they never return. i have had hermies that i thought were males for weeks before they showed a pistil. i had em all.

OK, now you're saying in the first and last week of "Flowering". I also said nothing about picking off the balls or plucking out the nanners, which is a totally different subject. I have done a ton of research on Hermaphrodites (and have grown them myself), and I have yet to find anyone who is finding balls on their plant during Veg.

I would say 99.99% of the time, Hermaphrodites show their colors during flowering.

I would too. And i would like to add that most males are hermies(supposedly) . Cannabis is suppose to be around 80% fem, i heard. i know not if this is true. I recieved a male clone from a guy on here i tried to flower him and it was herm, it is documented in journals of mine. He had this male clone for close to a year, and never knew it was a herm.

Also you asked if i had a hermie b4, i was just saying that since i run perpetual from seed i run across males n herms all the time.
