    been 12/12 from seed. reasons to why i think they're female is because that the produced nodes right next to it are like teh same age has those pointy things. maybe? maybe not?

  2. That is not showing sex yet.
     
  3. Those are lateral branches. Your plant wont show sex organs until its mature in a 18/6 light cycle or a 12/12 one at any stage. Since you've done 12/12 from seed, your plant will still need time to produce those branches (bud sites my man) before it can start poppin flowers. Look for 2 white pistils coming out of a protrusion around that area to show you your first indication of sex tho.

    Id guess your plants are a couple weeks old and maybe a foot high?
     
  4. The first sign of female sex will look like this.

    It's blurry, but see the little nub with the hair coming out of it.


    And then in a few days it will look more like this.

    Little white hairs popping out all over the place.


    I had a hard time figuring out what I was looking for too.

  6. Im not sure if you are being sarcastic or not here, lol... but yes, that is a female...
     

  7. 100% Thats Female... Kind of thinking that was a joke too
     
  8. Really? thanks, that's awesome man
    first time grower here so i've been clueless and excited as all this shit's happening

    +rep man
     
  9. Yep you are good sit back and enjoy watching them plump up like a depressed freshman.
     
  10. not always if it shows a nub with hairs comin out of it, means its a female. It could always be a male and just look like thats. Its happended to be several times. You'll most likely be able to tell when you see the seed looking sack open and then have 2 hairs coming out...
