Is this a Male Plant? (Feminised Seed)

I am in the first week of flower (switched light schedule) for this plant and this is my first photoperiod. Could you tell me if this is a male plant? My seeds are feminized. Also I have 2 autos in there right now that are in the 3rd week of flower.

Those pictures show nothing. Anyone that says it's male or female at this point is just guessing. If it's a feminized seed then it should be female. Nothing to see yet though.
OK THANKS WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE OF THOSE KNOTS IN THE CREVICES

Not yet. they will show near end of second week when stretch slows down. In regular seeds you won't see many males i strongly suspect you won't have any male DNA in your feminised seeds as they are produced by selfing plants. This is what you should see soon. 20211019_213033.jpg

I normally only use feminized seeds and have never had a single one be a male. I think the process they use, especially if it’s a reputable breeder, is pretty solid. I did cave and buy these reg seeds after getting pumped to see my hydro store start selling them. I actually deeply regret it as it just doesn’t work efficiently with how I do things. Too much work and risk only to have to chop the males down. Wastes space and resources. I just cut this male last night. It might be hard to see, but zoom in on the nodes and you’ll see the little ball clusters forming (Sorry about the burple) I was fortunate to catch this very early. They forming a week into the 12/12 flip which is actually very quick. The distinction between the pollen sacs and female calyx is exhibited in the shape. Pollen sacs are rounder, show up in clusters and there’s is a slight space between the pollen sack and the stem as it hangs by a thin piece of plant material near the nodes. Calyx appear practically attached right to the stem at the nodes with no space, they have a more elongated football shape, and they don’t show in clusters the way pollen sacs do rather, one or two might show at the plant nodes initially and have pistol like hairs coming from the center of them. Hope this helps.B8CE8771-7E5F-4F7C-9AAF-73C7BF6C7A55.jpegC875D0CA-8020-47B7-A2C7-270BF4633005.jpeg

Facts out of six regular seeds plants i got six females that is a pretty normal outcome in the past my average ratio was 1/5 1/6 male to female and environment plays a big part in sex determination as you cannot determine sex even in a laboratory genetics test until 3 weeks old in the case of feminised seeds there is no male parent and male DNA is suppressed during growth to insure only female genes I'm actually interested in trying this to produce my own feminised seeds

As others have mentioned, yes it is too soon to tell the sex. I didn't catch if you said they were fem'd seeds or not, or even the strain. Bag Seed?
EDIT: Just read the title, its a fem'd seed. Sorry I missed that at first.

This is from a bag seed from a dispensary strain is skunk hero indica took her out of the flowering room at day seven started showing on day 14 once you start they will continue to produce preflowers until you switch back to flowering we always did this "back in the day " to insure we didn't put out a male since we used to set and forget until mid September so we didn't leave a trail leading the cops and thieves to the crop

I just remembered a myth that you can take with a grain of salt "if the pointy little sex organs are crossing each other its female " clearly not very accurate
