Female pre-flower? Take a look

Looks like it could be female,maybe.

I appreciate all your input, but you guys just ain't hearing a brother. IT'S A GIRL!!!! I knew it was a girl when I started this thread, just wanted to see how many others can recognize female pre-flowers when they see one. Don't get me wrong guys, no disrespect to anyone, but if you can't look at the first pic I posted and say with 90% certainty that it's a female pre-flower you're looking at, you're gonna need to go back to step one and read the "growfaqs". The female pre-flower is elongated and comes to a point at the top(like this one). The male pre-flower has a stem with a rounded ball on it, and has what looks like an overbite at the top. Check out what "watercooled"(second guy that posted) said, and the picture he put up. It's easy to tell the difference. Peace to all!

thanks for the rep man!

also just a note to continue on the discussion - lights DO NOT have to be 12/12 for the white hairs to show. I vegged my plant on 18/6 light cycle and by week 5 or 6 i had white hairs showing... not flowers, but white hairs popping through the pre-flowers. this may vary from plant to plant, but im just sayin, you dont need to be in 12/12 to know for certain if it's a female. just veg long enough and you'll see 'em.

Antman, congrats on the female, and big thanks for the rep, i appreciate it!

Thanks bro, and you're welcome! ^^I was gonna say that you will see pistils if you veg long enough, but didn't feel like arguing the point.

Spotted this today. What does everybody think? Is it a female or male pre-flower? Or you can't tell?

Looks like you had an autoflowering strain or it would not have flowered like that. The white hairs are part of the flower.

Any cannabis plant can be micro-sexed to a point before it enters 12/12 flowering stages, see Earl's how-to thread at https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/38684-micro-sexing-before-taking-clones.html
