Does this mean female?

These two hairs are popping up between the branches and stalk. This plant is not even 2 months old and I hear that you can't tell signs of sex until weeks into flowering. If that's true then what are these?

Alright, so when I find out if other plants are male I immediately kill them if I don't want seeds?

Better to know for sure, all that time and love you gave em might as well make damn sure its a male before you rip it. could be female that just refuses to show her pistils till flowering.

Hey I have 1 plant that is 25 days into flowering and i think im starting to see hairs, (i know wayyyy too long, i had a light leak)
Can someone tell me if these are in fact pistils or if they are something else?? this is my first grow so idk. Ive been waiting for a long time and i just want to know for sure that its a female already!! it would be a huge relief, thanks!

No they are growing on other parts between the stalk and branches, it's just the top is the biggest. They get smaller the farther you go down.

You can cut the males if you know for sure they are males. They will not change sex, the only possible outcome from a male plant is if it is stressed enough that it Hermies. If the plant carries the Y chromosome during veg then it will carry the Y chromosome during flower as well.

hey dude, im on my first grow i found something of what i thought was a ball, a few days later there was pistils every where and no balls. so just give it time , a male plant wont polenate the female plant for well over 3-4 weeks . so dont stress right away .. like i did ! lol! but ya - it looks like u got urself soem females! the pics are a little blurry tho.
