Female? Too early to tell?

[M3GAtron711]

Are these the signs of a female being born lol
Or still to early?

No- sex isn't showing and the pointy things in question are leaf spurs (stipules) and young leaf growth.

How long does it usually take a non auto to show sex? They will be 5 weeks on Sunday.

Thanks

For me it's usually around 5 weeks. Between 5 and 7. They seem to tend to show later if I'm topping and training them and whatnot. I'm pretty sure I've had some that went longer and never showed at all until they went under 12/12 lighting. But generally speaking... very soon.

Ok thanks. Yeah mine are under 18/6 right now. One seemed to have topped herself early in life and since this is my first grow I freak cause I didn't want her to die lol but then I got them both is the right soil, right light, nutes and environment. So now they look way healthier and happier .

My babies Susie & Que

Yeah they're a little behind. Some people say that sex will always show when they're around seven nodes. That's not true in my experience but it's kind of/ sort of in line with what size they usually are when they show. But now that you've got the environment straightened out they'll take off and you should see signs in the next couple weeks.

Nice. Yeah, growth really is exponential as the root system and the foliage support each other and they really get moving.
Probably telling you what you already know, but the best thing you can do to support fast growth is to keep that soil very light and never over water. Roots explode in dry (just barely moist) fluffy soil. What slows down many a seedling is that they struggle in the first few weeks with soil that's not quite dry enough. Once they get a root system that can handle it, they take off.
Post again when you see more interesting 'pointy things' if you're not sure what they are.

What a great come back. They look amazing compared to a week ago. My babies are also a little over 5 weeks old and not showing sex. I read you can sex them by switching to 12/12 then throw them back into 18/6 veg if you want. Not sure if want to research that a bit more as Im a newbie. Im still waiting myself. Patience is key. My last group showed sex around 6-7 weeks.

Thanks so much . Yeah just goes to show you that with the right environment and some TLC they can overcome just about anything. I'll also have to take a look at that 12/12 switch you had mentioned. But you're right, patience is key lol and I'm having to learn that. I guess I'm just super excited since this is my first time growing anything. Didn't think I could do it lol but here I am and my babies seem to be happy and healthy .

Alright so just a little update on my babies. I have one that looks like it's showing signs of the sex and I'll post a pic of it below and y'all let me know what ya think. Other than that they are doing awesome and growing like weeds (pun intended). Love to get some feedback from you guys! Thanks

Here's a pic of what I believe to be signs of pre-flower. Let me know what you think.

And here's some updated picks on how they are growing and have some lst going on as well.

Looking good.
To the right of your finger (not at the tip) in the first two pics- the upper of the two objects looks like a calyx to me, by its shape. Too blurry to tell for sure, it could even be leaf growth, but watch for hairs (pistils) to come out of it. If I was there in person I could tell- but it's not smart to say conclusively what something is from a blurry photo.
The other long pointy things are stipules.

Yeah on that photo I was pulling back one of the stipules so I could try and get a decent pic of what looks like a pre flower

Can't really tell in that picture. Maybe if you could take a couple more to see?
