then why are you asking if you already know the answer lol
Again pic 1 female - Pistillate preflowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch.
Pic 2 male - Staminate flowers are located at the node between the stipule and emerging branch. Note the clusters of flowers.

I asked if there were pre flowers on the plants. I explained that they are said to show in 6-8 weeks, not that I knew whether or not they were pre flowers.

Don't branches develop at beginning of growth? And in the picture, the top circles, you see the little pistol like looking things there? those aren't pistols? looks like 2 little hairs.

Ive heard those thingys appear on both male/female, i think you should wait a week or two in order to spot preflowers, have you turned to 12/12 yet>?

I dont entirely agree with Air. There is still a possibility that it is female. Thats my opinion anyway, you wont know for sure until you start the 12/12 cycle.

Ya there is a possibility it is a female, I never said there wasnt I did say those arnt preflowers though as he thinks and was asking if they were. When you see preflowers they will be behind those green spikes and will with be a stout with a egg shaped ball on the end or a pistil with 2 white hairs coming out of it.

yeah i switched to 18/6 few days ago...i read in cervantes horticulture bible that there is no diminishing return with 24/0 and just increases vegetation, also read a length description about it in high times. Anyways, I think 18/6 is healthier.
