Im doing a small CFL grow in my closet. Things are going well as far as I can tell, my plants look very healthy. everything ive heard about sexing is that you cant tell until a short time after the flowering stage starts... well my plants are definitely still vegging, they get between 18 and 20 hours of light with 4 to 6 hours of rest each day. as you can see in the picture theyre not too big yet but im fairly certain im already seeing signs of sexual differentiation...
i uploaded 3 pictures, one to give you an idea of how developed the plants are, and then 1 of a plant i believe to be male and one i believe to be female... i would greatly greatly greatly appreciate any input as to the fact that i am extremely confused. i feel like i shouldnt be seeing what i am... anyways thanks once again to everyone in advance.

you can be certain that #3 is a male....thats pretty much a no doubter. 2 looks like a lady. any plant in advanced veg will start to show sex before you go to flower if its old enough.

When the plant gets to be about 2-2.5 months old, it will start to show it's sex naturally. I NEVER FORCE FLOWER MY PLANTS, once it starts to show i put it into flowering.

Give it a few more days and you should see more signs of it. The second pic doesn't look hermie...i don't see any ball shapes at all...but more pics would be a help.

thankyou all very much. yea the one that looks female has no ball shapes whatsoever. thats good info to know tho, thats just suprising to me cause the plants are only 1.5 months old. is it time to throw the male out or should i keep it around for a bit to make sure?
