First Grow. Day 15. Female Pistols???

Hi ... I'm on day 15 since this seed sprouted, and this is my first grow. I noticed these a few days ago, but from everything I've read, I figured it wasn't likely to be female pistols as this point. They have gotten bigger and more noticeable, so I'm interested in what those of you who are more experienced think.
 
Sorry, I'm new and it didn't seem like the first one posted. I couldn't and still can't find it anywhere. I guess I'm not too bright with navigating the forums. Thank you for answering though! Is there any way to explain what you see that indicates both sexes, or is it just something you know to see with experience?
 
I've actually looked at that exact picture before :) ... along with many many others! I am a google addict! I have no hands on experience though and it seemed like most of the people here were willing to share their knowledge. Are you saying it's too soon to tell, or were you saying you saw something on my plant that looked like one or both of these drawings of the male/ female plant parts?

why have u posted 2 an no they are not female! there on both sex
He's not saying your plant is a hermie or has both sex. He's saying those little spikes are present on all weed plants. What you want to look for when determining female sex is two hairs. They really look like thick hairs, not spikes.
 
also, I've been leaving the lights on 24/0 from day 1, and intend to be as patient as possible (patience isn't typically my strong point) and allow it to grow.

its way too soon to tell sex. preflowers dont show up for another few weeks. males look like balls that dangle like my nuts when they r older. lol. altho new growth can sometimes resemble them when they r small. females will have small white hairs that will barely be noticable at first but will be clear once they are in flower.
 
I knew I would probably look like a fool when I posted, but either way, now I know, so that makes me very happy! Normal is good news... right?
