Hard to say what that pic is....how many x-times is it blown up to

Best to just relax and wait, as it's too early to make a judegment call..... your plant will display gender when it's ready to do so, you can't rush it

Looks male to me unfortunately....unless your going to chuck pollen then it would be cool.

Ya I think so too... Oh well the other 4 Are female and 11 of the 13 clones I took are female :) so no biggie I'm gonna give it a few more days to be 100 on it and then it's getting ripped out

Hard to tell that early, don't chop until you are more sure it might just be a weird lookin female.

If you check your room daily, I see no problem with you keeping it a few more days to make sure. Some genetics can take a while to show preflowers. She won't throw any pollen for weeks even if it is male unless you are flowering already. I'm saying 90% chance at being male though. Microscopes usually don't lie lol.

Yao def agree with that and they are gonna stay in veg for at least another 9 days prob 10 or could be 14 ... Almost getting to my desired height tho so I'll pull it before the flip most likely

damn to late to say I could tell in first pic. Male preflowers are on little stems, no stem = female
Yeah they kinda look like a mini mushroom or something ugly when its a male staminate calyx. I'm glad you waited to chop her. I had the exact same thing happen to me last grow: axial limbs.
