Insight on identifying male/female

a few growers told me that male plants tend to grow with a skinny aspect as opposed to females who are a bit more bushy... could this possibly mean that hermies are inbetween the two... i would love to get an opinion or 2 from some experts on these pics

Untrue! I've had countless males that were as luch as any female I ever hoped to have... I use those in breeding projects for their robust bushiness... The way to tell is ONLY to wait about 8 weeks or so from sprouting and look around the 5th or 6th node and check for spade-like growths, or the beginnings of a male pre-flower, which will end up looking like a pod on the end of a little nob, sort of mushroomy, then u REALLY look for the tear-drop shaped growth which is the beginnings of the female calyx, which will shoot out a little "V" of white pistols, symbolizung it is sexually mature enough to be flowered... That is how... SO, unless u r breeding, which if u r new, I would disadvise strongly, you need to identify your males, and destroy them, a.s.a.p. -Also, your pics aren't even half-way close enough to the meristem or any inter-nodes for anyone to be able to tell anything about the preflowers which I'm sure are there now...judging by the age of the plants... Which btw, do look nice, with an indica-dominant gene pool, if not 100% indica... What strain r u growing? Put up some better pics, and u will get your sexing answers...
 
thats for tha reply. but i havent even started flowering yet so the sex isnt showing.. most plants have about 9 nodes rightnow (ending 6th week tomorrow)but sex is no where near close to being shown kuz they are not auto flower. its OG kush, HeadBand, Jazz, Yotick Bud(expirement thats going great), and cheese. i was juss trying to verify if i was bullshitted and it sounds like i was. and no im not interested in breeding. i dont even want pollen with in 50 feet of my girls. i will be sure to post sex pictures a few days into flowering.
 
All my best plants turn out to be male, its really disappointing sometimes having to cull such lovely looking plants. One of these days I will find something to breed my first (intended) with, I'll know it when I see it.

It does not matter if it's auto or not, every plant should show sex after 6 or 8 weeks.
