My plant is 4 weeks and 5 days and still hasn't showed sex and i was looking at my plants i realized that one was getting alot of white dots about the size of dust and kinda sticking off the leaves but i cant really tell. i was wondering if they are the resin crystals at this age? Im using 2 flor lights (6500k) and lighting has been 12/12 ever since it sprouted.

you need 2700k for flowering, resin is visible from 1 week even in veg theres little resin glands in the leaves, the resin dries up and thats what your seeing. good luck.

spider mites are translucent when they are younger...
and i would have kept it from18 day/ 6nite, for atleast 2 weeks
then switch it 12/12. doubt it's the resin-heads(n)

I no i have 1 2700k bulb but idk when to switch over to it i mean my plants shouldn't be ready to or flowering right now at least i think because the oldest is only 4 weeks and 5 days old and only has 5 true nodes and the 6th one starting to branch off. Does this mean my resin glands are drying up? and if so is that bad it sounds like it.

post some pics..
I would have if my camera wasn't so crappy when i take a pic i can be standing perfectly still and the plant will be
blurry so you wouldn't be able to see what im seeing.

I dont think they are spider mites.

Sound too me that you may have the spider mites check the under side of the leaves if you have you are in for a world of shit these little fu@kers just are so hard to get rid of.
