Newb male/female plant question

Pardon my question, it's very newb....but I haven't had a chance to check my plants in the last few weeks, meaning I didn't get a chance to find out their sex yet. This is my first grow; I know that you're suppose to look for hairs if it's a female, and what could be described as baby bananas if it's male; I figured this is what you look for early in the season. Are these the same signs you look for if trying to figure out the sex in early August?

If someone has a picture of what a male and female plant looks like early in August, that would be great.

Ye man if its a male it has 2 sacks almost like thoes 2 balls hanging down under ur pants, but if its female then it wont have thoes sacks it will have tiny white hairs about 4 nods up from the bottum is were u look for the sacks hope i helped u out bro

Debatable. If its a female sometimes you will see sacks as well..but theyr Pistol sacks..not male ball sacks.
Post a pic

very true but u can easly tell the differnece if u see a pic of a male and female

So the signs remain the same? Can someone post a good pic?

Here you guys go a pic.

wonderful pic showing the differences. (Y)

That's a great pic, thanks dirrtyd! My next question is...at this point, are most plants still in preflower or as I understand it, they're starting to flower. Does anyone have a pic of what a male and female plant looks like in the early stages of flowering?

Take a pic of the plant at the nodes and post I will tell you what you got. keepem green dirrtyd

I wish I could; but they're planted several hours away from me. So taking a picture and going back will be a problem. Could you describe the differences during early flowering stages?

Or if anyone has pictures, that would be great as well!
