I'm a first time grower so this might sound a bit foolish to some of you, but there are these little bitty green hair-like things growing around the nodes. Please look at the pictures below.

What are these???

Note: Both of these pictures are 2 seperate plants.

They are just little thingys that grow by nodes, im not really sure exactly why. They are not preflowers if thats what you wanna know. Those will come later on at 8-12 weeks of age.

Ok, thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if they were pre-flowers or not.

While we're on the subject though, how long into the flowering cycle does it take (on average) so begin showing signs of sex? I know some people say their plants show sex by the end of their veg cycle, but I'm trying to keep my plants fairly small.

stiples are the signs of a flowering plant
Think about a rose; the thorns (or pokey spikes) are stipules

if your plant didn't have these then it wouldn't be an angiosperm
look it up gnr

Okay, just wondering because I'm 4 days into the Flowering cycle and so far there is no signs of sex. I check them multiple times throughout the day, because I'm afraid of getting a male to fuck up my any females.

To treduece: I think my plants were growing these stipules while they were still in the veg cycle. I may be wrong though. I've smoked a few too many times since then.

Yeah what deuce was saying is that these grow on plants that do flower. Because these do not show up because they are flowering.

I've looked at each of my 3 plants very well and didn't see any male balls on any of the plants. I'm thinking it might be too early to tell though?

okay, he's 4 days in to the flowering 12-12, waiting for pre-flowers, which CAN appear in VEG, but WILL appear in a few days because he INDUCED FLOWERING! damn.

They all have them, male and female, and you see them long before flowering, which they have absolutely nothing to do with.:peace:
