Sexing My Seedlings

I have some plants vegging right now, they are 1 and a 1/2 months old
from seed. I am having some trouble telling my females from males. Is there somewhere I can find some pics of male and female preflowers? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I would wait till you clearly can see if its a male or female.Its really difficult to recognize it when its still a preflower.More than one time I thougt:This gonna be a male" but at the end it was a female.And the plant which is still a half month old will defently have no preflower.Just wait

They been vegging for 1 1/2 months? damn how tall are they? why dont you just switch your light cycle now? They will probably double in size when you switch so dont wait too long or you will have a monster in your box. Kinda like my wife when we makeing love.

When you first grow it is nearly imposible to be able to determine sex from preflowers. I still dont trust myself on preflowers. Your best bet is to put them to flower and wait for the males to show....

This chart's been around forever.......don't know if it'll help.....
I just always look with a magnifier for that little hair beginning to pop out like the first female pic. Males look like a small bump on a stalk initially.

If I suspect a male, I'll just keep and eye on it and wait it out. You have about 10 days between when the males first start to show preflowers until they release pollen. They'll start to appear as a little bump/ball on maybe one or two of the upper nodes and then you'll really be able to tell when you start seeing more little clusters of them. Females generally take longer to show sex than males so your best bet is to just be patient for a few days and keep a close eye on your plants. You won't be able to tell without at least 10x magnification and that's still pretty small.
