Yeah it seems as if its too early to tell. You will be able to get a better feel for the sex of the plant closer to the transition from the veg cycle to the flowering cycle. Look not only on the top of the plant for white hairs but look at the nodes on your plants. You want to see these little nodes sprouting white hairs and not drooping with sacs of pollen.

Good luck with the grow!

Arr thanks man! With it being an Autoflowering, Will it automatically start to flower? Or do i have to give it 12/12?

yes it will automatically start to flower. you will see a violent change in the next weeks. most growers prefer using 18/6 or 20/4 for a higher yield but 12/12 is fine. A 12/12 will just provide less light to the cannabis which hurts the final yield

Looks like new growth to me. Fresh new nodes?
