male/female preflower?

Hey guys just transplanted yesterday, and of course right after I noticed a preflower.. Just wanted to make sure it was male before cutting it, what do you think?

Give it couple more days to let it mature,

I feel like thats a calyx just bent down.

Male sacks are more promenant.

Yeah more time. I had very similar this year & I think it went hermaphrodite because I got seeds from my 5 plants. All seeds were feminized seeds. QUESTION Does this happen often? I've only used bagseeds n clones in the past.

I think I'm going to cut it down tomorrow, here's another pic. Definately a male, do y'all agree? This is my second grow, never messed with regular seeds before this though

Give it another week or two,

I dont see any male sac

Good call, i too say wait a week or so, first impressions can be very misleading and patience is a virtue sorely needed when determining sex early on

With a pre-'flower' like that you'll see white hairs coming out of them.. I'm certain that's a pollen sack. But no harm in leaving it I guess..

I too still think it's a male, but I've read that some preflowers will lack the white hairs for alot longer than others.. that being said, the reason I think it's a male is because it has a rough, flower like shell around it (looks like it could open and release pollen) and is raised on a very small stem. The plant that I suspect is female has a very smooth and teardrop shaped preflower, but still lacks the white hairs.. but the one i was asking about looks different from both the males ive thrown away (they had really long stems below the pods) and it looks different than the female I have, I do think it's a male though judging from the shape of the pod.

Also, that is information I have gathered from a couple Google searches.. really not sure about how accurate some of the info is, and this is only my second grow. Just trying to explain why I think it's male aha.

Nope, it turned out male. Cut it down yesterday, the pods started stretching outwards, and no pistils. However, on one of my other plants, the first preflower it showed looked exactly like the one i shared pictures of.. a few days later, the newer preflowers had grown pistils and have the smooth appearance.. really weird, The first preflower still doesnt have pistils aha, maybe a hermie? Anyways I was going to cut them both down the day i posted this because I needed some space. Definately happy I waited, thanks for your input guys

Dont cut anything based on first preflowers, await pollen or pistils and ignore anything that looks weird. Even one pistil means its female, the hermie thing is irrelevant, leave it and it will grow fat buds, chop it and merely wasting time
