Here's a quick picture from today. Also, I put a thermometer in there with the plant and it says just under 80 F

Unfortunately my power went out today, so I had to put my plant on the windowsill. I could be without power for as long as 4 days, does anyone think the plant could be seriously affected by this? Right now I'm using a mobile hotspot to get on the internet

My friend could also be wrong, I actually have no idea how experienced he is, but he seemed like he knew what he was talking about

seems like and actually knowing are 2 different things my man. theres a million and one members of RIU who seem like they know what they are talking about but 1/2 of them couldnt tell the difference between a marijuanna plant and a tomatoe plant HAHAHA
too early still to tell is still my opinion. unless you see small silk like hairs then it hasnt shown yet. generally week 5-6 of veg preflowers will start to show, sometimes later than that. i have had some plants 2x the size of yours (i know size isnt the main factor) in my flower cab for a couple weeks now and still not showing signs of sex.
i really like this drawing for sexing a plant.

your friend is probabally mistaking the stipules for pistils

Here is a picture from today, day 20. Finally got power back this morning, so now it's back under my lights.

here is a picture if a close up.
First fan leaves grow from the main node, then nodes grow from the fan leaves, stipules grow on the the node stalk at the base of each fan leave. Between the new nodal growth and the stipules is where the sexual anatomy comes from.
Without having this last level of growth, you will not be able to sex your plant. Males/females have different growth tendencies, but there is no science to sexing without the final stage of growth.
Here is a picture of mine labeled. This plant turned out being a female, but it wasn't obvious from the anatomy pictured, it is very easy to see the different growths though.

I transplanted yesterday into a bigger pot, and today the leaves are drooping quite a bit. Is that normal after transplanting or did I do something wrong? I've also noticed some red stems, but other than that I think it looks pretty healthy.

Yeah that was the last one
