First Grow Pics M or F?

If you all recall the HeavensStairway & Cbay back in the day, Your lookin at some Stargazer, OrangeSpice, & KaliMist, island sweet skunk, from cbay in 2001 I think 01. I had these seeds in my fridge for about 6yrs. What the heck happen to that site & cbay?

Anyways can anyone se sex yet? Also do you think i should top these?
They were under cfl for 2 weeeks from seed and the past 4 have ben under 400whps, in FFOcean Forest and top coat with FF American Pride. They have ben given some BigGrow as well. Notice the plant in the back right corner, its tall im guessing this will be Male. The shorter one reeks already, should i cut the big fan leaves? are the shoots above the fan leaves the preflowers? Any advice thanks.

Kind of early to tell sex yet based on those pics. I don't see any tell-tale signs. Never cut fan leaves. Once you put them in 12/12, you'll be able to sex within a week or so.

Could you elaborate on why to not cut fan leaves, even if they are blocking bottom growth?

It would be better to move them or bend them.
The fan leaves are what the plant uses to absorb the light that it uses.
The less fan leaves that it has the less energy it can absorb.
I am sure there is something on this topic in growfaq's

dont see sex yet. good luck!

Yes cutting the fans will slow growth ansd stunt the plant and possibly hurt it.Only time you wanna do it is if your doing a sog then you want to get rid of all the lower growth and leave just top few nodes.If you wanna early sex them pull a clone off each 1 and label it according to the plant it came from.Get the clone rooted then toss the clone into 12/12 light and it 3-7 days itll show sex then match the clones to the original the female clones came from female plant and male clones came from males.Now you keep the female mom donors and kill the male.Didnt wast anytime as the original kept vegging anyways.

Thanks for the replies, I have cut a couple fan leaves on mine, but I'll stop that. I am paperclip FIMing them right now. It's very cool.
