PLEASE HELP PRE FLOWERS

Hey guys need some help from some seasoned growers, my mate has got a few plants going 18/6 and I was just over at his and noticed some pre flowers he has had them going for 8 weeks I can clearly tell from the white pistils which are the females but he has one very nice looking plant that I suspect to be male is it to early to tell to me it looks like a male pre flower but not sure if I should tell him to toss it or if white pistils will emerge from these growths ill attach picture below s

just wait for the pistils to emerge or for it to develop more it wont form and spray pollen overnight before you can definitively tell yourself

Ok ill tell him to give it a little longer, several plants in there are defiant females and are pre flowering so just a little worried any idea how long male flowers develop before pollinating? Cheers for your reply

Anymore insight from anyone?? Thanks

I dont believe theirs anything definitive in the pics you have here.

its hard to tell at this stage,one looks like its gonna be a male,but its hard to tell this early on so i would keep your eye on em just to make sure if any are males ya need to pull it

Yeah sorry the pics are pretty crappy couldn't get my camera to do a clear close up I can see definite round shaped growths at the nodes near the tops tho just hoping pistils will appear I will try get some better pictures for yas cheers heaps!

You would have to have it on 12/12 for the male preflowers to even turn to fully loaded ball sacks,and even then it would take time for them to develop pollen sacks. If you are wanting to get males out before flip there is no real need to. They will show within the first week and you can then remove them. I know if I wasn't that experienced, I'd flip then sex so I didn't get rid of a female. I wouldn't 100% trust anybodies advice just from a sub-par picture. Good Luck

Yeah good point pretty hard to see in those pictures looks pretty convincing in person but good to know there will be no pollen into lightcycle change cheers bro

If he checks his ladys every day hell notice for sure imean itbecomes so obvious after a couple weeks.
