Posting the same picture 3x under blurple light doesn't help much.

Pre-flowers will be found at the nodes right up against the main stem not at the tops so I'd look there.

On that 2nd pic I can kind of see a flower forming on that big node near the top but when I blow the pic up it goes all fuzzy so I can't be sure of anything. You'll see a couple white hairs coming out of a small lump, (calyx), if its a girl tho. If it looks like a ball and develops a stem so it can hang down then it's a male flower.

I've been growing for ages and still have trouble telling for sure until I see solid signs like hairs or balls. I got some males going now that were supposed to be fem autos and the two that haven't shown balls or hairs are 5 weeks old now so probably not even auto. Out of 8 I got one female that autoflowered and it's a runt so will be lucky to get a 1/4oz off it I bet. Was planning to breed them using STS to make lots of fem seeds to put outside next year and the four outside now are the two unknowns and two full-blown males. I'll be sprouting mote looking for something to breed with or buying some decent ones and I hate buying seeds. Got lots of regular types to grow out as well as plenty of plants in the grow room to deal with too.

Regular plants usually take 6 weeks or more before the nodes start to stagger and pre-flowers emerge. That info would have been helpful from the start. ;)

That's good news then. Gave my plants outside a good look today and still so sign of sex.

Hard to see them in this pic. The big one on the left is 17" tall now and is a hi-CBD one with less than 1%THC and her brother on the right.
Behind is a male hi-THC one on the left and his sister on the right rear. They are an experiment to see if feminized auto plants would finish up here before it gets too cold as I live way up in northern Alberta and regular plants are just getting into flowering when we get frost most years so can never finish in time. Did not work out very good at all so looks like it's a failed experiment. I just need proper seeds for the next season.
