Gosh me to haha, not knowing is probably worse then finding a male haha. I would be happy with one female. 2 would be better of course

Both plants look the same today, trimmed some fans off of the pineapple so it's pissed. Both plants have a nice color now. I see what I believe to be the start of a pistil on the bagseed. Only more time will tell. Also April 23 will mark one month for the bagseed since sprout. And the 25th will be one month for the pineapple express. Such an amazing feeling. Also I dried some of the pineapples fan leaves and crushed them this Morning, I got the most wonderful sweet berry scent from these leaves. My good friend said the same about them. The bagseed smells like some funky skunk nothing special.

Bagseed definetly has some preflower starting it's in the correct spot extremely small, looks like the smaller leaf the pistils come out of. But it is so small. Could be a male preflower from all I can tell. Hopefully more growth tomorrow guys.very nervous. I will try to get a picture but it's very hard because it is so small.

Still too early to be sure but the last pic you posted here is looking male to me but I could be wrong. Males Almost ALWAYS show first. So the longer the wait, the better for you.Much better photo of bagseed seed preflowers Here. See I'm not crazy!! Gosh it's probably time for bed haha I was looking at those plants for far to long to find those...

yeah i agree with airwalker. That bagseed looks like a male, but i'd hold off and make sure. The males always have a little stem on their little sack.

Ya give it 5 or so more days and you'll know indefinitely, but I'm 99% sure it's a boy.

Oh shit son I didn't even notice the preflower on this pic.First photo is bagseed, it's the darker spot that is pointy in between the nod and stipule. The second photo is the pineapple she also has a couple. They are much more visible. Again I apologize for my dirty mechanic hands..
You've got yourself a He Man right there. That is 100% a Male plant, bro.
Man...
I hate to be the barer of bad news, but time to pop some new seeds.
This is why I buy fem seeds. Wasted time.

I lost 2 out of 5 plants because my "feminized" seeds turned out 2 males....
I feel your pain.
Don't pull it for another few days, until you are 100% sure it is a male.

the female flower is usually pointed, like a tear drop with a long tail. look at this site http://www.growweedeasy.com/preflowers. i googled that. but all in all just wait and see. if that little sac develops a shaft, then you know.

Heh, takes me back! Was so worried about finding out their sex on my first go...got lucky with my mystery gifted seeds, they must have been feminized because all 10 I sprouted so far all turned out fems.
Give them a good little while and keep watching them. Male flowers develop faster as a they need to pollinate females early so the seeds can develop (ie not 8 weeks into flowering). But you'll have plenty of time to clearly identify a male before it pollinate, especially since you are checking them every day
And if you do have a male maybe consider letting them mate...?
With a male+fem you could make a seed crop and have a lot beans to play with. I also read this helps as seeds made in your garden will be "better suited" for it, and it makes sense though I haven't tried it yet.
But if you are dead set on just growing females or don't have any, I can look into the feasibility of sending you some
Cheers!
