My plant seemed to be obviously showing female. Today i went back and noticed on one side, two little growths have appeared. Somebody please help me and let me know if this is a straight up male or a hermie or just female preflowers? These were lab leaf tested female plants…but recently my buddy who used this same company had a tested “female” end up being male….

Interesting growth pattern, I don't see anything that screams male or hermie,........... yet. It looks like it's throwing more stems from the nodes, which is a little odd. Sometimes those turn out to be male, but I don't see any "balls". It is still to early to tell for certain, there are a couple pics that resemble calyxes, but no pistils yet. At this point, it's a wait and see.

It's too early to call. The growth you're seeing isn't preflowers, but rather leaves.

In leaves do you mean another branch? Thats rather odd if so? I mean ill take that answer over male or herm i forgot to add EVERYONE I HAD THESE SEX TESTED AT RIMROCK AND THEY BOTH CAME BACK FEMALE. Thats why i am alarmed

Well then they are female, im not seeing male organs, dont worry till there is something to worry about, in your case that would be a saggy set of balls.

Thats also what i thought but my buddy also got sex tests from rimrock and his “female” tested ended up being male…another reason for my concern.

Still not seeing any calyx and pistols yet? hmmm, a plant that old should be sexually mature enough to show at least some tiny signs.

Im guessing herm.but showing female. the only reason is that every time i see a small branch pop up next to a calyx it almost everytime is a true herm.. meaning it will grow balls..

Do you think i could snip those and it would be fine? Or would the whole plant herm then? Its my first grow

Not showing yet.

I just did 18 seeds
6 weeks in 11 of them had shown balls
8 weeks in 2 more.
Thought I had 7 and flipped as they looked like your pics.
A week later 4 of them started balls...

Watching closely all 18 looked like your pics. The females though will actually throw a single white hair, while the males will develop pods.

Those green spikes are neither.

So are you thinkinh wierd growth or herm? I had defoliated some larger fan leaves and topped not long ago so i was worried i stressed her too much. Like i said these were leaf tested lab tested female, but as soon as i saw this growth i was alarmed. Or still just too early?

Neither.

As others have said, those are not sex organs, none are showing yet.

If you absolutely must know, take a cutting, put it in water, put it in a separate grow area with 12/12 light and you will know in a day or 3.
