My plants are getting bigger and I'm still trying to find a indication of sex on any of them. I don't know if anyone can see anything here. Thanks for looking!
Splant
 
What I do is start a seed in a solo cup then wait for it to grow out and get stressed from the container being to small. There will be little signs of sex where the organs should be without having to go into flower. Then I transplant.
 
I usually take a clone from a lower shoot that won't do me any good anyway and take it from the veg tent straight into the flower room. It always let me know what I had. Been a very long time since I ran a regular seed tho.

Unfortunately the act of flowering reveals the gender.
 
Thank you guys so much, I'm just rushing it I guess being a first timer. I can get plenty of really good bud cheap here, but for some reason....I want to do it myself. I've been talking to my wife about building a grow room in the attic and growing plants there with improved soil. Being a heat and air guy for decades, the one thing I know how to do is control temp, humidity and exhaust for an area, be it a commercial kitchen or a an alien spacecraft (if I'm ever abducted for such work).

Did you read my post? If you keep a plant in veg state in to small of a container the stress from that on the plant will make it show pre flowers. Don’t be saying things are either this way or that way if you don’t know. New members will read your information and be misinformed

Reveal your secrets, message a guy I’ll make sure to always answer you if you need help as well
 

Determine Plant Sex​

Usually, after weeks 3-6 of vegetative growth, cannabis plants will begin to display pre-flowers. For the grower with a keen eye and knows what to look for, this is invaluable information - especially if you happen to be cropping regular seeds with the potential for 50% males.

Pre-flowers emerge from the nodes of both male and female cannabis plants. Close eye-ball inspection of the higher nodes close to the top of the main stem is the easiest way to identify emerging pre-flowers. Essentially, you are looking for two very fine white hairs protruding from a tiny growth on the node. These hairs are really pistils emerging from a calyx just like what happens later in bloom with the flowers.

 
I think the upper one might be a pistil, it seems to have a small calyx behind but I might be wrong. The one in the middle that I marked as pistil is definetely a stipule like you said though.

photo is too blurry for me to be 100% sure, but i think i m only seeing stipules, preflowers male or females will then form later at some point next to the stipule. wich depending strain and phenotypes could happen as soon as 3-4 weeks veg or never until the plant effectively start to flower.

Leave it in the vegetative phase for a few more weeks and you will see what sex it is, It just shows that your plant is not sexually mature yet.
