the pics are all female.

the hairs are called pistils and they protrude from the calyx, the pistils and calyx's are female flowers. the female reproductive organ of the cannabis plant.

male flowers start off as little flower buds(balls) and they open up into a more traditional looking flower with small often white or yellow petals.

Usually takes 6-8 weeks for a plant to flower fully. The last 2 weeks is when most of the bud will be produced. Im guessing your on week 2?!

The answer to your first question would be the pictures that you took at the internodes are blurry expet one. Now I do not want to get your hopes up to high because sexing a plant can take two-three weeks. The non blurry internode picure would suggest a female but keep in mind my previous sentence. The white hairs you see are the immature trichromes that will slowly become reddish over the whole course of flowering.

white hairs are trichomes? white hairs are pistils my man, trichomes are the resin glands that get you high! and that plant is sooooooo female, blurry pics or not.
