Why are these there?
I have some white hairs comming from my plants. The only problem is that they have be vegging for 4 weeks, 24 hrs of light since germination. What are these white hairs and why are they there?

Thanks

Do they indicate sex?

They are called "spicules" in no way do they show sex and they are perfectly natural. you need to induce flowering in order for your plants sex to start showing sex.

looks like you've got yourself a girl

When vegging long enough, ~6 weeks or more, pre-florwers will start to develop. These preflowers indicate the sex of your plant before it begins flowering. When this happens, it means that plant is mature or is reaching maturity.

not true. a plant will show sex when it's reached maturaty under almost any lighting schedule. flowering can be induced by giving the plants 12 hours of uninterupted dark, but if it's old enough it'll preflower under 24/0. some strains mature way sooner than others.

those are preflowers, plants show sex after becoming mature... this does happen in veg, and its perfectly normal.

That plant is only 5 weeks old and is 5 inchs tall. Is it mature already? How big should the plant be before I take clones?

Thanks

the 2 plants that have these pre flowers are growing much slower then the others. Also, it looks like it is developing a bud at the top. Is this possible since they have been under light 24/7. I don't know whats happening here.
