So often we are asked - what sex are my plants??
Accompanied by some blurry pics that show nothing of relevance.
The problem is that we need to get in close to see the preflowers, but the digi cam cannot bring objects that near to a focus.
We need a close up lens - a +2 or +3 dioptre convex lens. On my old Pentax SLR a close up lens screwed onto the main lens, but simple digi cams don´t have this facility.
However I have found that simply holding my +3 close up lens right up against the lens of my digi cam lets me get in real close and maintain a sharp focus.
Don´t happen to have a +2 or +3 lens lying around? Well you probably do - got any reading glasses about? - the cheap generic ones are actually the best. If you want to buy a pair for a couple of bucks or euros get those labelled +3.
Give it a try.
