I think these are Females

hey I had 4 plants and 2 of them showed that they were indeed males after about 5 days on the 12/12 cycle. The other two havent really showed any white pistils, they are just growing more branches and developing. Do female plants take longer to show than males? Please help. Thanks.

Typically yes, females are a little slower. But it also depends on strain too. Tough to say exactly. If you have clones than I'd say you are in good shape otherwise it is mostly a guess.

yea the two males were alot taller than the other two and did not have as many branches. I saw pods developing towards the top so i killed them. There not clones though. I was guessing they were going to be females. Im hoping they will be though.

5 days is awful fast to be definite about sex. hindsight being 20/20 i know i've probably killed a few ladies by determining sex before its time.

yea thats what i thought too. but there was clusters of little balls starting to form towards the top so i didnt want to risk them pollunating any potential females. You think i could have messed up and killed some potential females?

Possibly but there is nothing you can do now. It's good that you're cautious but it'll take a little while before any of the male balls mature and open up to pose a fertilizing problem. You can leave them to develop for a little while to be sure of it's sex. Happy growing!
