Emilya is right.
Yes, definitely a boy. The vertical lines on the preflower, spade ball shape, those are dead giveaways. The one on the left has a visible stalk as well. If you go to my grow thread I have a bunch of male and female preflower pics in the latest sections.

Damn. I get more confused everyday.
All of those pics look very simular to what i was seeing.
..i let what i seen go and after several more days the caylxs opened with lil white hairs...

Little white hairs = female. You can't mistake them. Sometimes its hard to tell what they are when they first emerge. Show us more pics as the buds develop.
It never hurts to be patient and wait a day or two for the plant to show their sex clearer. Better to be patient and right then impatient and wrong.

I am editing this after shiggity pointed out that I had missed something. Egads... I hate hermies.

Looks like you have a hermie there. The preflower is an open male one. Sorry man, get that hermie out of there!!!!

You can trim that male flower out of there before it opens. If you don't have too many, you might be able to save the female parts and bring them to harvest.
Has anyone done this?

If it's a few nanners I have done that. But it has to be the only plant in isolated flower. Otherwise it is usually better to say good ye. If you see actual male flowers like this there will soon be many. So the buds are going to be seeded with seeds you can't use.
So yes I have picked out nanners in solo plants or ones nearing the end of flowering and hoped for the best. But if I had backup then it is best to move on and cut your losses. In this case it is early flowering so if there is backup get rid of the hermie plant.

Emilya with all the fantastic advice you give this means you were wrong 0.00001% of the time. That's why we all work together to catch each other. We are like a grow net with each other's help!

Yes, this. Day 20now, maybe 5 of these unopened pods, was curious about plucking them. It is flowering by itself, for now.. Was half tempted to let it go just for experience sake, but worried i might have more of a headache cleaning/ sterilizing then what the exp would be worth.

This particular one is open. If you have a jewelers loupe or microscope look for the pollen. It may all be gone.

you know those little tiny pods right next to the new growth (about the size of a flea or smaller). Well, the way I tell if it's a m- or a f- is if it has one or two hairs coming out of it. looks to me like it's to early to tell with yours, so far. But I'm no expert.
If you go to my thread I show a pic of a male preflower with one pistil (hair) coming out the top.
