I'll take a pic and post it on here for ya. Im wondering if i should change lights to 12/12? Gotta wait till the wife leaves for work to take pic..

lol yea thatswhy i have no pics on here wife would kill me
Here ya go..
Females show pistils. You can clearly see them in this pic.
Males don't have the pistils. They have pods with no white hairs/pistils..
Hermies can appear at anytime so don't think you're out of the woods when you see female pre-flowers. Here's some pix of male flowers growing right out of the middle of the bud. Sometimes, they can be tough to spot though..
Hope that helps!!

hey that does help alote dude thanks are there any others that u can show me of early male and female flowers
It doesn't get much clearer that that. 
You can click the search button and enter preflower or pre-flower then select "Headings only" and I'm sure you can find more examples...

yes u r right i guess what i dont understand is that do both the male and female flowers start out with the pods or jusst the males?like does the hair grow strait out of the stem?
No, the pistils (hairs) grow from the calyx on the females. The pistils normally form a classic V shape. There are no pistils on the males and the pods they form have a somewhat different shape than the female calyx.
Here's a closeup of the male pollen sacks.
Here's a diagram that may allow you to see the difference more clearly..

ive been crusin around for a few hours and thats the best explination ive seen thus far u r a real educator....need and aprentice?lol just kidding
I do locate one pistal at the middle right. Healthy looking female. It's hard to see next to it though.
Sorry to hear about three Kanes (Male in Hawaiian) and yes Hermies are hard to spot. After 3 succesful harvests from a Sensi Seed Nor Cal Indica, one version of it went Hermie and wrecked havoc on over 8 other plants. as well as giving a few clones to a close friend and same thing happened to him, but not the other 2 recipients of the clones. It can happen even with " Great Genetics"

Just depends, I have had them show in three and as many as 13...I think if they are younger it will take them longer then it would an older plant to show.

Yeah Michigan, don't give up! I've been in that boat a couple of times and it blows. Persistence definitely pays off. I recently had a male but started over again and just found out last week its a girl! It's definitely worth trying again.
