Hey, I'm sort of a new-bee too but don't use nutes on seedlings. If they start to fall over from stretching or legging out use something to prop them up. I used a paper clip and that helped. I made a loop in one end that went around the stem, over about 1/2 inch then straight down into the ground. Kinda like a "hang-man"...

I'm on my first grow too, so I'm very new, but I think you are seeing Stipules, not Pistils.
If you look at the pics Humboldt posted of the male pre flowers you can see some Stipules, as both males and females have them.
Who knows tho? Patience grasshopper, Patience!!
according to an article by Mel Frank in HT, "its practically impossible to identify a canabis plants gender during its first 7 weeks of growth. Male plants may appear to be a little taller or more vigorous, since they require less light and nutrients than females"
That last line I found to be true. The plants I was most proud of and depending on, were the tallest and best growing and they both turned out to be males. I keep markers on my plants and I really pay attention to height as an early indicator since they are all grown under the exact same circumstances. My problem is bag seeds so who knows how they compare beyond living conditions.
Hope that helps, good luck.

I hear ya melushell, and like I was saying too, I have bag seed so outside of the growing conditions, who knows what the hell I have in the soil!? They didn't even come from the same bag. Some were from a friend who 'collects seeds' others were from bags I got along the way. The one's I'm most hopeful about are some I got from 'the weed man' who said they were from the medicinal weed.
Regardless I'm really enjoying it, waking up to smell the buds each morning for watering is nice. I also have 3 confirmed females so I guess that takes some of the pressure off too.
Take care.

Gotta buy new nutes, only fed them once. I rotate and adjust lights as needed. They do overall look more healty since there first feed and transplant. The first is my biggest, the last is the Guard dog....
