my plants are a month old now and most seem to have very small pre flowers but i cant tell what kind, way to small. so im thinking maybe these are pre pre-flowers??? they kind of look like small cones to a tiny ball like thing, no hairs anywhere or balls yet, just barley visble. cant tell if there male or female yet so im just gonna wait untill i switch the light over and see full balls.
i just dont want all my pre pre-flowers to turn out balls. i have 12 plants about a foot tall with branches, 6 are tall 4 are short and 2 are runts of the litter:dunce:

4 weeks sounds a tad early for those to be appearing but thats just my opinion, you sure they are not the plants stipples?

4 weeks isnt too early i put my plants into flowering last night, only a bit over 3 weeks old, and over night four of the six showed sex.... And yes they are very small but I can definetly tell two are females... they have small white hairs!

mmmm pretty shure they are preflowers. they are right next to the stiples and branches and the stiples are much larger.

im poking a nd proding the preflowers with a paper clip and ruining them. and just when i think i see a male ball i realize i have no idea what i looking for. they open up they look poiny and ball like all the same time. some plant dont have them some do:wall::wall::wall:

preflowers actually are suppose to appear in veg if you have optimal conditions

Yes I am aware of that my last few grows displayed preflowers on all the plants, but that was because they were vegging for about 5 weeks, I was just saying never really heard of em showing showing in 4 weeks of veg is all, and the conditions dont have to be optimal mine are not even close to optimal at the moment.
