Thanks!

*note* these pictures are not of my plant, but its pretty much what the "pistols" on my plant look like

Those "pistol looking preflowers" at every node aren't pre-flowers. Every plant has those, male or female. See how they come from the side of the node as opposed to the crotch? They are just normal vegetative growth.

However, those little nubs in the crotch of the node do look like female pre-flowers to me, you should be seeing a white hair poking out of them in the next few days. Just hang tight and post some more pics in a few days. Looking nice and green though, any chance we could get some pics of the whole plant? :jointsmile:
