Are these female preflowers?

[OldMedUser]

Definitely looking girlish now. That one with the red arrow is as female as I've ever seen. The male ones are much rounder. You should be seeing hairs coming out of some pretty soon. Or not. lol

That last pic just came in and those aren't hairs. The hairs are fine fuzzy white ones and come out in pairs from each flower.

Older ones here. One is still mostly fuzzy with one red and hanging down. Couldn't find a pic on the PC so went and got a fresh one.

These are male flowers both open and closed. Very round with no hairs. Note the 'nanners inside the open one.

Ok it’s still pretty early so what’s the timeframe typically to see pistils come out? The first 2 preflowers only appeared maybe 5 days ago but since then there’s been 8 new ones. Does it happen within days of forming or do they need to develop for a longer period of time first?

Your expecting too soon. I did an extra dab for you

This photo is a male plant. If it doesn't look like this you got a female. Hope that helps.
Waiting is the worst part. Walk away for 3 days then check again. Dont worrie, you got time on your side.

This one looks like it’s got two new little green pistils coming out but this is also not on the main stem and could just be the start of a new leaf I suppose

Those are new leaves sprouting. The place to look for a single pistils would be from where you drew the arrow in this pic. As CADBOY mentioned, you have time to wait.

Do pistils start out green or are they always white?

I have had one come up with light green pistils but almost all are white and fuzzy. Distinctively different looking than anything else. An they come out of the center of the tear-drop shaped flower/calyx.

I’ve noticed some of those teardrops starting to almost “open” at the tops—I don’t know if this signifies anything to come soon.

How’d it turn out? Male?

I know right? I keep doing his dab again and again lol I have never seen pistols start green. I have seen new leaf tips start out white, Ghost Pistols.

Idk what the tall pointy things are called between the preflowers on each node but ignore the nute burn on them lol that situation has been resolved
