They all ended up being males. Cut down one like 4 days after this post. It took another 2 weeks for the other two to show signs they were male. I learned a lot though
Please tell me it's a girl

That's shitty. I've only ever had that happen once.

I hope I can say the same thing. This was my first grow and I planted around 15 bag seeds. I'm only using feminized seeds or clones for the next few grows. Can't handle a let down like that again for a while

I don't know if this is true, but I grow only regular seeds and increasing humidity in the seedling stage helped me get more females. When I did my first regular seed grow I got only 4 females out of 10. Next grow I increased humidity to 60% in veg stage and got 7 females out of 10. Maybe I was lucky or maybe humidity has something to do with it.

That wouldnt surprise me. There are a few things that can increase the ratio of females.

Glad I could help. Patience and knowing what to look for is key. Now that i've seen pre-flowers first hand it'll be easier.Looking back at this thread there is a lot growers can learn on sexing plants
Not giving up, tis but a speed bump. I have 2 autos going and a regular Pineapple Chunk that i'm excited for, they are about 3 to 4 weeks old. Plus i have 8 pepper plants that are still young and one pepper plant fruiting. I've only been growing for about 4 months but I love it, I can't see me not growing something from now on.

Early preflowers can have a few different appearances. Until you're familiar with them its important to watch for the first preflowers but to wait until they develope enough to be sure.

Second this. Plus to anyone who may come along later. You have time before the pollen sack opens. Waiting and keeping the plant doing well will still help gain experience and confidence for new growers like me.

totally. during spring i grow green beans, roma tomatoes, 7 types of raspberries, cilantro, strawberries and cucumbers and of course the best plants in the world...
ON the same note, I think I may have a plant with both pistols (showing for sure) but cant tell if these are balls or not so going to wait it out another week or so to make sure. the plant looks female but i may be wrong. it is also one that I know i stunted so that may have something to do with the possible male/female parts.

You will not believe how many threads i have destroyed site and growers opinion on preflowers with this info let alone the amount of bud ive saved from being cut down due to peeps thinking they have males when they are in fact females.
I guess my funs over now

The conversation moved onto imperfect preflowers, my advice is to wait for perfect flowers.
If you cut stuff down before this then you will end up cutting down females as demonstrated in many recent threads.

I don't see any male flowers but it does look like it may be doing a bit of a reveg thing.
