My untrained eye

[TLC]

a few days into flower. I’ve always grown feminized seeds till now.
It’s hard for me to recognize the sex. I got the beans for free but still regret popping them because of the risk..

In that last pic it looks like there is a long pistil coming out a pre-flower, but having said that, the structures in the pic aren't that clear.

Thanks. I figured out the ‘macro’ mode for my iphone but I still get lousy pics..
I’ll have to keep my eye on them. Not sure what age they show and when it’s too late.

Thanks, I got 2 more if you could take a look. The first set were OG Kush. This set is a Power Plant and a Northern Lights. Thanks for your help!

I can't see any maleness there.

It is early, and too hard to tell from your pics.

You want to try to take pics close to the nodes, the pre-flower structure is sometimes partially hiding. But the clearer you can take a pic of this area, not the stem above it, or a leaf in front/behind it, but the actual pre-flower structure needs to be captured and in focus, then the greater chance you have of spotting the defining features of gender.

The pre-flower structures of male and female have variations but can look very similar, and when the picture is blurry it becomes too difficult to discern those gender differences. My suggestion would be to shoot off many pics, varying slightly the angles and distance, if you can manually focus on the specific area that's even better, but I am guessing if you can't and your camera can only auto focus then by varying the angle and distance as you take pics will hopefully cause it to focus nicely where you want on at least some of them, and then go thru them and throw away the majority that will be blurry and hopefully you will have a few left that are nicely in focus.

Thanks Ape and Stunger.
I wasn’t sure if I was early or not.
I’ll keep my eye on them and work on my photography skills. The autofocus is tricky.

I can see there are preflowers on your plants, and they may be too early to discern their gender, but for now the pics make it too hard to tell.

Here’s a couple more, comparing the 4 I have going , these 2 look suspect.
These are balls?

If it was me I'd be trying to take some sharper pics to see more clearly. There is a fine line in close up pictures where the camera focuses on something else nearby instead of the exact point you want. But if that is the best you can obtain and you had to choose now, then I would say your suspicion is probably correct, they look like male balls.

Thanks. My birthday’s coming up. Maybe a real camera is in my future.
I can wait to chop. It’ll be more obvious the more mature they get I assume.

Thanks again

Just so you can see how a similar pic of the male structure looks when the focus is reasonably clear. Here is an example of one of mine taken to ascertain the gender so I could throw out any males and focus on the females. I had to do this because I was using regular seeds for this season's grow.

1-WW: suspected male preflower?

Female...

 

[AdaminCO]

Both of these were at 75 days before showings.

Female parts:

Male parts:

Thanks!
It’s way clearer with better photos. I’ll give the suspects a while longer before chopping.

Those are balls my friend get him out of u r grow room... or at least bag him till u r 100% sure, or if possible isolate him in another room

Yes after just a few days after my last post it was obvious.
I yanked them and tossed them in the mulch pile.
