There are no pistils in that photo. Pistils are part of female plants that protrude out of a calyx. What you are probably referring to are stipules and they occur on both male and female plantsif you look to the outside of the pistols you can see a little growth coming in. it seems bulbus to me
here is an update
IMHO you are fretting too much about the gender....give it time to clearly show the gender before chopping it.that is exactly what I'm talking about. basically I need to snip him down now?
Are you saying yours is male or female? Male right?Last one.
