if you can get a close shot of these, they do kind of look like they could be showing boy parts, hard to tell without a closer look:

Plants show pre flowers once they reach sexual maturity. My mother plant for example has girl parts and shes in 24 hour light. Just keep an eye on the space between the main branches, and the new shoots. Those nodes will grow little sacs or bananas to show male flowers, and little bulbs with hairs coming out of them for female flowers.

Finally, I dont see any male flowers. Only gave it a quick look though ;)
Here's a pic of a male I cut down yesterday. These came on in 2 days.....

Cool, but now you know what to look for. Not uncommon for them to show sex 3-4 weeks into veg, should be soon.

I noticed you post alot, almost daily. Take what I said and research it. keywords: thrip, thrip damage, how to treat thrips, how to spot a hermie (I couldnt tell, to far away), etc
Yeah same here to far away to really tell. The plant's nodes look decussate to me, and it's my understanding until the nodes are distichous they are to immature to show sex. But as close as I could see I couldn't see sex or thrips, just a little heat damage.

They won't show sex until right before/as their nodes begin to grow in an alternate pattern (usually). Nothing is absolute LOL at least not en vivo.

I have another question a little off topic do you tie your down?
No, not really. But there's nothing wrong with that. Usually the first time I try genetics I let them do their thing and about 3 weeks into flower I remove everything but what I'm going to let finish. I shoot for about 4 main colas/plant. I just threw away some nugs, at three/four weeks already the size of golf balls LOL!

It depends on your space and your genetics and what you are comfortable with, you can't really do anything wrong as long as you learn from it.
