I'm a little confused on this preflower thing....anyhoo, my plants are 3 weeks old so I should have a pre-flower?

Is this a pre-flower?:

If that's a pre-flower, that's a female right?

No that is not a pre-flower. the first time i was trying to find preflowers i was so fuckin confused i had no idea what i was doing. at 3 weeks you might be able to see pre-flowers on some strains but it all depends. the best way i can describe a female pre-flower is that it looks exactly like a pistil (or hair) that you find on your weed. the preflowers will first start to show up at the node sights right beside the part of the plant that you thought were preflowers (they are actually called stipules and appear on male and female plants.)

The (X) labeled parts are what u are thinking are preflowers. when your plant starts showing its sex, if it is female it will look like the labeled parts (Y). if you have balls there instead of the pistils it means it is a male. GOOD LUCK!!

that pic really cleared it up for me, thank you :). However...I pinched my plants at their 3-4th nodes....so where will these pre-flowers show up? i'm still a little lost...

the preflowers will show up where the arrows are pointing:IMG_0890.jpg

it doesnt matter that you pinched it they should still show up there. just be patient lol its hard but they will come.

When they shoe u wont miss it bro promise. There not there obviously. But super cropping shouldnt of done anything to it. I super crop myself. If u get no pre flower clone it and as soon as it roots give it 12/12 in two weeks you will know sex.

okay guys, how about this pic? I'm sorry, I don't anything that can zoom in more, but it's not one of those stipules, so if that's a pre-flower I am hella excited cause that would be a female right?!?!?!?!!

Sorry dude I personally dont see any pre flowers and that pic was very clean. Like I said b4 you will see it very clearly as a flower. Give it time or flower it to force sex.
