Male/Female Preflower?

Just curious about what everybody thinks. Male or female preflower? It seems a bit early to guess but I am
soooo curious... this happens to be my first time. Its a bagseed grow 10x26w CFLs 5 5700k daylight and 5 2600k soft light, 4 total plants atm. I plan on keeping one or two when I determine the sexes. Theyre on week 2.5 from first day of sprout 3 weeks since germination. On 18/6 using half pot of MG moisture control and half pot of perlite. Miracle grow plant food nutes, only used 1/4 reccomended dose one time so far.

Okay now with the pictures...

Too soon? Or can any experienced growers determine the sex by now?

Thanks

those are stipules that you're taking the pix of m8..
the preflowers will be much smaller, and are pretty much right behind the stipule, in the grove of that node right there.. i can kinda see a preflower, just too small in the pix to tell for me.. maybe you could get a better pix of that area, or you can wait a week or two..

Too soon to tell. 2nd pic seems to show start of pre-flower but not which sex. Try again in a day or two.

Can i ask how long did you grow it before you pulled it.. cuz i gotta tell you i listened to someone on here told me my plant was male but in fact it was a 10 year old sativa genetics.. like my new harvest some of the lower branches turned hermit and i got 12 seeds out of 18.9 oz i harvested on my 400w grow one plant

This has been growing for about 3 weeks total. I pulled my last two at two months veg I believe my old posts should still be up

that sucks m8.. that's why i always like to tell people to wait it out.. a lot of times i've noticed that what you think are female preflowers will end up being male and vice versa a lot of times..
and it takes a good few weeks for a male to bust his nut and pollinate a grow, so there's no real rush at first..

I just noticed what looks to be a male. No pistils just balls. I've had a few females so yeah. Anyways I just trimmed the shit out of him. I'm gonna try to let him grow a little longer then put him in another room with far from adequate lighting to collect pollen on his last days

you can just cut off a nice sized branch, stick it in some water, and collect the pollen that way if you don't want to keep the entire plant around m8..
