sexing question

[Buggy]

Quick question.

Plants were repotted a month ago, and soon thereafter showed what SEEMED to be tiny little hairs on them that appeared to look like female signs. Since then, all those have grown out into leaves, more budding leaves have grown but have not shown the "female" "hairs" I saw that first time. I was nearly all the plants having those, so I'm not sure what to think. We just changed the lighting a few days ago to 12/12 so we'll have more signs again in a week or so...

But, if things like that happen again, how likely are the "hair" structures coing to appear like that? The plants started outside for a week or two, then were inside under one light in the basement, then upstairs with same lighting set up, then potted into final pots - then about a week later I see the "hairs"...

Thoughts?

First and last show the hairs, middle one shows what the sites start looking like a day or so later (that just did it sooner!). Also, even now there are little THIN leaves that I don't know what they are for or if they mean anything. Also can be seen on the pics, but always are with a set of leaves or branch - maybe 1/4" long and so skinny they are nearly like hairs themselves.

Thanks!

male and female cannabis both have those parts at the nodes. The name escapes me at the moment.

Bract or Stipule according to a diagram I FINALLY found. Bugged me until I found it.

And now, I'm 7 days into flowering and really not sure what's gonna be happening. Some SEEM to be looking male, and I think 1 is female... others unknown. But, I'm really unsure and won't be culling until I know for SURE. Suspects will be taken to the basement and put under CFLs in a shop light to verify first, then they'll be flushed, allowed to grow a few more days, then harvested for some pollen, food, and some smokables depending on the spot.

I'm guessing that the bracts showing up mean that the plants are ready for flowering phase, based on what I've been reading elsehwere. That's what will happen next time.
