Male or Female?

First grow here, learning a lot but it is definitely a great hobby. Can't really think of something more sustainable than cultivating my own medicine! Anyway I'm 95% sure my plants are ladies but want to be 100% sure. I was given 4 sour chemdawg seeds, 3 popped so I have those going now, one is going crazy so I plan on keeping that as my mother and running clippings of her down the line since I know the genetics are on point. Have them under an 8 bulb t5 in a coco/perlite mix. Recently transplanted to 2 gallon pots. Here are some pictures, last few are close ups revealing what I believe to be pistils with the last one showing the growth on the plant I'd like to be the mom. Let me know if I'm wrong! Thanks for the advice.

Just a suggestion I would take cuts of all your girls once you have established sex.a more vigorous grower during vedge doesn't mean squat.your running from seeds so you need to pheno search.kinda hard from only 3 seeds but if there all girls at least you will have choice of 3.years back when i did seeds runs i noticed like 3 quarters of the time the most vigorous plants turned out to be male.just cause you are starting out with good beans doesn't mean every seed grown out will be a keeper.
 
Thanks cheeba I think that may be what i'm experiencing currently. The first picture shows what i think is a pollen sack. If so, this is the suck since they're on all 3. Good news is i tried some different training techniques on them and kept them pretty healthy during veg. Bad news is i'd be starting from nothing, way worse but might as well look at some positives.

I don't see pollen sacks, I mean no disrespect but it could also be that the pics aren't close enough, clear enough, or my eye sight is getting worse lol. Are you flowering already or still vegging?

How long are you going to vedge for? Once they hit there maturity in vedge they will show there pre sex (most of the time) anywhere from 4-8 weeks+ depending on strain.
 
No disrespect at all D man, that's why I made the thread. cheeba they're going to be 8 weeks on the 4th, I was going to flip them at the start of week 9. Like many of the "issues" I've had it's just me freaking out since I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm just happy they've been alive almost 2 months haha. I'll be flipping them at the end of next week so I should know for sure then. Took a clone from all 3 and they seem to be doing ok, leaves are a bit droopy but I put them under some more light after a week so I'm hoping they'll perk up. Also topped two of them and that seems to be working well. The one thing that seems weird now is one plant the leaf tips are curling down while the other two are totally fine. Same nute mix going to all 3 at the same time so I know ph, ppm, etc are all the same. Obviously my three seeds that came up are a bit different, could it just be that one seed is leaning towards a particular side of the cross breed? Please remember the only thing dialed in is my near total cluelessness, I say near total only because of that root ball looked nice to me when I transplanted the one in the first picture! I hope I'm doing something right. For those that missed it yesterday,

Thanks for looking/helping and have a good weekend!

they look healthy man sometimes leaves currling down means to much water. an easy way to tell if they need water is to pick up the plant by the container and feel how heavy it is. dry soil is much much lighter
 
Figured I'd update since it's been a while. Luckily all female, they've been in flower for just over 3 weeks, de-foliated a bit and had to tie the bigger one down and bend a few of the branches during the stretch period, pretty happy with how the canopy looks as seen in the first pic, the other two plants are the latter pics and in the background you can see a jack 47 auto from sweet seeds that is just about done. The 3 others are the sourchemdawg which I now believe are rezdog seeds based on what I've read and who gave me these seeds but can't confirm until I bump into my friend who gave them to me again. I picked the wrong time of year for my first run though haha, climate control in this weather is the big time suck. Be well everybody!
