Could this be a female?

It's extremely hard to see, but when i open it full size, i can see 2 little hair looking things this picture was taken through a magnifying glass. Could this maybe be a female?

It could maybe be a female, it could also maybe be a male - those "spikes" are not preflowers.

It could be, but the position of what you're pointing at looks right where the other tiny spike should be. You see the little green spike thingy opposite what might have hairs? There should be a second one where that possible calyx is. I don't think sex can be determined for certain without more growth.

But, so far so good. No signs of males, at least.

Alright thanks, i was also going to put them into 12/12 on the 21st, i've heard of doing 24 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12, does that help induce flowering at all? i also read it may stretch the plant out a bit, which i honestly kinda want... Because my biggest 1 is just too damn bushy

Dude, your plant is upside down.

I thought it was just me. I spent all night trying to get right side up but every time I looked at the pic I was upside-down again.

I never owned a marijuana plant before, and I have to say this is all really fascinating stuff...

 

[Gmz]

So does anyone know if it's a good idea to do 24 hours of dark before going 12/12?

Here,

Much better now.

Unnecessary. With a strong dose of Potassium at the start of flowering and no light leaks at night, the plants should show preflowers after about two twelve-hour dark periods.
