I just can't tell

My plants are running out of space in my small tent 2'11" x 2'11" and I really need to determine sex. Hopefully this pic is good enough for a more advanced grower to be able to tell. If so, please point out exactly what it is that distinguishes the males from females. All my plants are starting to form flowers with long white hairs, but they came from a pack of regular seeds so I don't think they can all be females. Thanks for any replies!

Cant tell in pick but you say long white hairs and thats the top sign you got a female. Ball sack looking things would be a male.

Look real hard for things that look like lil ball sacks. They got them then get rid of the male asap. It can turn females...

Accurate and hilarious.

Lmfao I get it now... Funny...

Thanks for the replies everyone. So far no pollen sacks, just white hairs and flowers popping up. I tried to get a real closeup shot with my camera but the lense couldn't handle it. They've been flowering for 7 days, do you think this is long enough for pollen sacks to start growing?

i know there has to be 10000 posts and pics available without straining yourself that could easily let you learn what you are asking. if you want what to look for pointed out to you, then you really need to do some self education. i know we all start as newbies but some stuff we dont need our hands held to do.

i'm not looking for a handout. i've looked at a million pics, i have two grow books that ive read from cover to cover and i just asked for an opinion on something i couldn't tell myself. I was under the impression this was a friendly place for new growers to get a little advice but apparently i was wrong

Some people just don't understand the meaning of a forum. They are supposed to be active. Every single answer to growing can be found out there, this is just a place for like minded people to discuss what we like doing. My biggest kick I get out of the above post is it took more time to tell you to do a search than it would have taken to actually help. It's not like yu asked a common sense thing like "if I fall in water, will I get wet?".

Oh well. i'm not going to get upset over it. It does seem stupid to come on a forum and tell people to solve their own problems though. In the meantime, I have to determine the sex of 8 plants

This is true. If you try to take a close up pic of where the branch meets the main stem you will get some definitive answers

I've tried but unfortunately even with a $400 camera it won't zoom in that close. I need a macro lense or something.

Can you tell me what it is that makes you believe its female? I've got to sex these plants asap, and they all seem to have the same traits, and the flowers look female, but I just doubted a whole pack of regular seeds are all female...

I would keep an eye on it for another 2 weeks to be sure,i heard some plants dont flower our show sex right after you start 12/12, sometimes it starts at the end of first week to week 2, 3 to be sure. White hairs every where, thats like winning the lotto

Ill pay shipping if u foreal

Heres a couple pics from somebody else's "what sex?" thread these are perfect examples of intersex or hermaphrodite plants, so you can see both types of flowers.

Hey I have a question guys: I started 5 seeds at the same time. All of them were outdoor at the same time. But for some reason 2 haven't showed their sex yet, but my others did.
1 female and 2 males. I heard if you plant doesn't show its pistils or balls when it should that it's most likely a slow female. Is it this true? And why would the rest of them sex and not the other 2, just curious if there is reasons for this? (keep in mind all the conditions have been the same for all 5 seeds) Ty Rollitup community.

No 2 plants (from seed) will be identical in growing, even if the seed came from the same pollinated plant. Just like brothers and sisters of the same parents grow differently.
