Pre-flower question.

Hi all, I was just wondering how long it generally take for plant to have pistils coming out of preflowers from top down the internolds. I just want to make sure my plant is femal and not hermy. the pre flowers on the 5th node look kinda maleish maybe. Actually looks like a very tiny stem with a very small lump on it. The stem goes right beneath it and all the way through pointing out of it. There are about 5 pre flowers on the plant the I am not to sure about. Becauser they do not look strikingly like and preflower pics I have seen. The top 3 nodes have pistils.

Also, how long do I have before it opens if it is hermy, it is so tiny I can;t distinquish what it is.

On a little stem sounds like male flowers but if higher nodes have two hairs on a pod those are girls, are these feminised seeds, they have lots of hermaphrodites and should be seperated from straight females so you don't ruin everything with seeds

Man I am so sorry I cannot find my cord, I have a dec camera too, it is driving me craaazy. The seeds were takin from a bag... Now it looks like a lot more pistils all over the place, however there are still none on the 5th 4th and 6th nodes where I c these little misshapin calyxes. At some angles it looks like a tiny stem but if you look from the top they look more female and you cannot tell the stem is there. Maybe femals that have a thin bottom. Also we cannot forget how the stem protrudes farther out from the lump. Also only one per internode. Its such A nice looking plant I don't want it ruined. I don't know...

OK, I used a tweaser and took one off the plant, took it away and looked at it and there was nothing but green, nothing pollen looking.

OK, does, for some reason on a hermy have the male preflowers on lower internodes. My pre flowers on the 4th node down, one looks more female but the other one looks kind of like a deformed ball with a spear like stem right beneath the ball. Maybe it is a male preflower, maybe not, some of the female preflower looking ones havent let pistils out yet. Also lower down it looks like smaller versions even more deformed of the spear and ball thing. should i leave them alone still. Also I think the other plant has one of those ball like preflowers exept it doesnt have the spear under it.
