I noticed today that my plant had the long slinder growths at the internodes, but also 2 of these ball things. Plant Is a month into veg, cotlydons just fell off. I don't think I should be seeing it this early!! Any help appreciated
 
not flowering yet, im only 4 weeks into veg, the cotleydons just fell off today, this plant is only 28 days old, and seeing these really worried me.
 
hmmmm....what is your light source and light cycle? does it get extra sunlight or shade, any point in the day?
 
I used these images to help me determine sex when I first started:
Male:

Female:

Notice the male has balls.


But nah it's too early to tell man. Gotta let them mature a bit before they show preflowers. Once you see staminate (male) and pistillate (female) flowers in person you'll be able to spot it right away. Give it some time...
 
Alright. Thanks guys.
definitely understand wanting to catch it early. I think you can sex them slightly earlier if you have some type of magnification (lupe, magnifying glass, microscope?) but with the naked eye it takes a while. Some strains show sexual maturity earlier on, and can be sexed during veg given enough time - some people will take cuttings n sex those after labeling each one then cull the males after identifying them...there's a lot of options, it's really just a preferential thing but off the top of my head you can : 1. wait, 2. use magnification, 3. sex cuttings, 4. use the bag over branch method, creating an artificial dark period of 12 hours , so basically leave a black bag over one of the branches for 12 hours each day until you see flowers (haven't tried that one, just read about it)...thts all I got mayne
