pre-flowers? 1st grow

iv had these plants in soil since oct 4th, they were really stunted but got on the right track about 2 weeks ago and have been doin good. a couple days ago they started getting really droopy and started getting weird yellow patches on the leaves, i figured i wus to high and over watered.... lol so i let them dry out for a few days but they jus got worse. turns out they were root bound. witch is weird cuz they ball of roots wus about 10 times bigger then actual plant. but i transfered them into bigger pots and they are perking up nice. i noticed these little things (look like pre flowers but not sure) when i wus transfering them. im just wondering if they are, and if they look like male or female.
there not the best pics cuz i had to take them with my webcam. sorry about that

but thanks for any advice, and any comments about how the plants look are appreciated.







the other plant.

Plants lookin good

But can't tell from pics whether male or female?

sorry

yea these pics are to shitty. i cant even find half of em in the pics lol but when i transfered them into these pots (yesterday) the roots grew up through the top of the soil again, i put about 3 more inches of soil on top of them. will they grow back to the bottom once the water in the soil dries and goes to the bottom, or should i put them in even bigger pots in a couple weeks?

i wus also wondering about how much more will the plant grow after i put it in to 12/12?? im wondering so i know when it would b good to start flowering and get as much yeild as i want

they will probably double maybe treble in size when u put them into flower.

i can't tell from those pics either, doesn't look like there are any preflowers yet but there might well be.

the new pots look big enough but keep an eye on the plants and if they start showing those symptoms again act quick.

when u switch to 12/12 they get big bitches, some people say theirs triple or quadruple in size but mostly mine have got close to double their size, and fattened out proper. it's better to err on the side of caution with these things so if you think your grow space is too small, bung them into 12/12 asap and see what you might be able to do if they outgrow their room.

good luck

well i have them ina big walk in closet. i could have them about 5 feet tall n not worry about space, its just the bein patient part lol but thanks everyone =)

im thinking about topping them aswell. does it really increase the yeild? and are they big enough to top?

okay so i took pics in better light today, i kno nobody will b able to tell me if there male or female because of the pic quality, but im wondering if there even are preflowers. can somebody help me out please? also some of the leaves have gotten wrinkled or withered looking, 1st pic shows it. ne ideas?
