it's a very early preflower, but based on the last several female and male plants i've grown. i've noticed this to be very typical of female preflower.

The best place to check for preflowers is actually in the growing top. gently pull the leaves down to check under her skirt... if you see a bunch of balls..she's a he. a female will develope small pods where the hairs will stay until they're ready to pop.

is a great sexing link.

don't be fooled...males have clusters of balls.. they're easy to spot... if it's a male, you'll know.

female on the left, male on the right.

I wouldn't go so far as to proclaim them female...yet.

Until you see the whispering 2 hairs, it still could be simple new veg growth....a male part, or one of those sticky things that look like spikes.

Your plants are still showing same node spacing so without alternating nodes, your immature plant would be showing sex awfully early. Not unheard of at all...just rare

But....I noticed on the 24th you were excited about the same event.

Is this the same plant?

It does not take 4 or 5 days for a pod to expose herself to you. It happens overnight.

I am not saying this is not a pre-flower and I am not saying it isn't female.

But...based upon the picture you provided, the results are inconclusive at best and wishful thinking.

IT may well be the DING or BAT of the equation....but you MUST see the hairs protrude from the pod......otherwise, it cannot be confirmed.

Hairs are confirmation. Undefined growths in the general area are not.

Just look for two whispy white thin hairs. Most cameras cannot take the pics of them as they are so very fine. Once they swell and fatten up Ray Charles could see them

Still hoping with you

Thanks for the help i think im a bit whishful thinking! ill keep a close eye on them and will tell you as soon as i have conformation on wheather she is a he or what...i got me fingers crossed!

After much research on the pics provided on OG and comparing them to both Dign and Bat there is a slight possibility that Ding..my ak-48 is leaning more on the male aide but im am uncertain yet...and as for bat the early bud may be femelae as well...they both started to produce 'preflowers' roughly about a day or two apart...Ding being the first...but who knows...time will tell
