haha id take a few off your hand if i lived anywere near BCNot in flowering yet, just been checking in the hopes that I can catch them before pollination occurs. Plus it looks like I have to downsize to a smaller room and will only be able to do 6 plants. It'd be easier to pick my six if four of the ten were males

lol, I'm sure you would. Hate to be that guy that gave you a male though.
will they even show if I'm still on 18/6? Don't plan on flowering till the weekend (give them time to come off veg nutes).

You wouldn't take a test without first studying, correct? You clearly should already be aware that weed will only show it's sex if the flowering period is induced, or it is an auto-flowering strain. By the way none of your pictures show the sex organs. A male's will seem curling downward while pistils shoot upwards. Honestly determining sex is extremely simple.. Aswell I'll give you a tip to determine sex.
Often the first sign of sex does not lie in the sex organs, but in the pattern of growth of the new branches. Throughout VEG branches grow out symmetrical, opposite of each other. Once flowering takes place, a female may be determined by the jagged, criss-cross pattern of the new growth, stepping up from one side to the other. This may not always be the case but in every instance where I've noticed this growth pattern take place I have ended up with females. To be honest I have yet to actually grow a male, mind you this time around I've got 25+ and at least one will likely be male. Let's hope not!

no they're still on 18/6 until someone convinces me otherwise. Hydroshop friend is telling me to leave them on 18/6 for another week and then try to trip them over so they are awake at night and sleeping during the day to try and help bring my temps down a bit (around 90F at peak).
