what i can;t tell from the pics is whether those are stipules or pistils. stipules come in pairs, are on the plant from the beginning, are green and are located just below each node. they are on both female and male. pistils start only when the plant is flowering, are longer (more than two) white hairs and are located at the node. they're e on females only.

does this help?

the preflowers will start to show in a plant if it is completly mature for its age,generally in about 2months of veggin the plants will start to show there sex before flowering ,and fyi u got a girl

with two months vegging wacky;s right, they could be preflowers. if your plants have nodes with alternating instead of paired leaves then it is mature and you should start flowering. 60 days is a long time to veg.

yeah I know its a long time to veg but I read somewhere the longer you veg , the more potent your lady will be. so i figured if I veg them till there about 3 ft. then Ill end up with 5 ft. ladies because they grow about 2 ft. in flower, and im hoping this way ill increase my yeild also.... so is it not a good thing to veg for 2 or 3 months? and if they are showing sex, should I put them into flower right away or is it ok to keep vegging.... im a bit confused.....lol.. thanks for the help desertrat...much appreciated..

as far as i know, extended vegging gives you more bud but not more potent bud.

yea, i'd go to 12/12 lighting right away, i think you;ve got all you;'re going to from vegging. besides, flowering is more fun.
