Remember the length of your flowering begins at the point you see flowers, not when you switched your lite cycle.

How long did you veg them for? If they were vegged long enough, you can look at the pre-flowers and sex them that way. If there aren't any pre-flowers to check, you naturally have to wait to see sex. I myself have had pistils emerge in as short as the next day, and I've also seen guys on here that have waited up to two weeks for their plants to show sex. That's the beauty of checking the pre-flowers, you don't have to waste a week, or even more sometimes if it ends up being a male.

No I vegge them 22 days before switching the light... I only have so much room. Rubbermaid CFL. 2 plants now... there is only 1 on either plant, showed up 2 days ago. Started flowering lighting the 22nd, little seed looking thing showed up in 1 spot on 1 plant... but im still waiting just to make sure... 2 days since then and no new signs.

yes antman is exactly right. you should def. veg until you know what you have. thats pretty much how yiu know exactly when its time to flower at earliest poss.

Well if I did this I would have to throw them away anyway because there would be no room to flower.

Anyway.. the first one was male, cut and gone now.... the 2nd one... still has absolutely no signs.... nothing... 12 days now. the other one had balls in like 5 spots and that was 2 days ago

alright guys.. i did finally see 1 set of white hairs coming out from one of the very top nodes... its barely visible because all the small new leaf growth really blocks them out...

I'm gonna keep on going... so far this plant is 100% organic, no fertilizers or nutes at all, except whatever is in miracle gro organic soil.
