I started with 5 plants..one got tossed bc it wasnt growing well and i thot it was a male possibly. They are all 6.5 weeks old and just starting to showbsex withinnthe last 3 days. 1 of the four plants has multiple pistols and im confident shes a female. 2 of the 4 plants have 1 set of hairs (pistols) on each plant. And one dosent have any hairs yet. But... On all 4 of the plants alot of the initial sex organs are missing completely. They say its either a ball or the ball with hairs. Well on the majority of nodes their is neither its just bare. Is this normal? Do they continue to develope as they mature? Or will some just nit show up? And whats the chance they may be hermie from this?

from my personal experience growing females via fem seeds and my current grow first time growing males it looks like the males take longer to show up from my experience. at around week 6 i can already see pistils and it's clear signs they are female but with the males im on day 6 of flip and i really couldn't tell until now if they were male or female. i was certain they were males but i wanted to make sure because the balls were so damn tiny i didn't want to misjudge the sex and chop incase they were females but i am certain now like the balls are so damn clear

the sex should eventually show regardless fem or regular seeds as far as photo's go but with my current grow the regular seeds the sex was so small and hard to tell. i vegged for 6 weeks start to finish before flipping. the reg plants were vegged longer then 6 weeks tbh they are adopted but i would say they were vegged for 8 weeks at the very least.

Ok.. Ya im pretty sure the one that dosent have any pistals yet is a male. But is it normal for then to only have one or two sex organs? Like alot of them are missing. Its just smooth in that area under the flaps that are supossed to protect them. A few more have popped out but still one plant only has one total.. Very weird never seen that andbthis is my 3rd grow but ive also never vegged this long so..

No. Their are no signs of sex yet.. I flipped the lights 3 days ago. How long does it take to see the hairs

took my plants about 6-7 days of 12/12 to show that they were indeed males. the female i got is a fem seed but it's hard to see her pistils and im on day 11 of flip. over my time on this site i've read that they will sex when they are sexuall mature meaning if you flip when they are still young then you'd wait longer since the plants were not mature enough to even sex.
