Male Pre-flower??

Can I get some opinions if this is a male pre-flower? Plant is 39 days old. I am getting ready to flower and I do not want this thing in there if there is a good chance its male. I think the other plant ( bottom pic) is female because of the 3 visible pre-flowers. Should I wait a while or go ahead and remove it from the grow?

Probable female pre-flowers?? This one is 41 days old.

the bottom plant is female

if the top plant turns out to be male its cant just go and pollinate the female instantly takes a good while about 3-4 weeks after the balls have formed, you will have plenty time to properly make the decision its male without it affecting your female plants

No do not kill it yet it could be a calyx.
You must have definitive proof before you kill it. Don't worry you'll know soon if its a male.

Wanted to give an update, give thanks and share the lesson learned.

Thank you all who responded to my initial question. In my inexperience and over willingness to do something I almost made a grave mistake. I was so focused on the fact that one plant was not acting the exact same way as another I was convinced it was a male, or probably was, so I was prepared to kill it off. Asking for advice and listening has paid off.

I kept the plant and watched to see if the pre-flower spot in question developed....it did not. BUT, while I was looking at it with tunnel vision and getting pretty sure nothing was ever gonna happen I noticed this in another area I had not been watching closer to the top.

I will admit that up until about 15 minutes ago I still had doubts. Last night I decided that while waiting for it to show I would take a couple cuttings to gain some experience before I took cuttings from my only female at the time. Figured if it did turn out to be male I would at least get some good out if it experience wise. I took the smallest and lowest two branches and turned them each into 6 hopeful clones. No doubt will be taking more cuttings today.

well done, this is exactly why i get slightly irritated at users who say MALE MALE when theres NO pre sex showing , or not enough to definitively prove sex of a plant.

I cant imagine how many users have killed off their plants prematurely because other users have stated they are of male origins.
Im happy both turned out female, and wish you best in your grow ^_^
