Sexing Cannabis

Okay so I'm foggy on this..
Does a Sativa/Indica plant show sex ONLY when the light cycle starts deminishing causing it to preflower or can it show organs after a time span?
Is it odd if females are apparent BEFORE the males?

12/12 is pretty much what triggers sexing. Generally I've always seen males show themselves before the females. Sativa males will sometimes show up really early depending on your strain.

So its a safe bet on a lack of light for them if they're preflowering?

Or is it maybe an indicator that the person who crossed the parents indeed DID actually find a Rhudarelis?

They can start showing preflowers at around 30 days in a veg cycle.

And a pollen sack can resemble a leaf starting at first too yes? What are the spurs called then? They're usually on every branch set on the side of the stock.

I've had females show preflowers while vegging. Like Milkyyurk said, after about a month they can show. Not all will preflower though. Some still need the light trigger.

Male flowers start like little balls that aren't usually as pointy as the female calyx. If you get little balls grouping together with no pistils you have a problem. They open out and look like a little bunch of banannaannnannans when they're mature.
Can't remember what the little spur things are called, i know what you mean.

You have a bit of time to play with while they mature before they start releasing pollen, it becomes more obvious. There is a chance of male flowers on a female plant, they stand out as a swollen pod without a pistil, kinda hard to miss if you're looking.

Thiz.... I do not consider myself a pro at anything other than cannibus cultivation. I would be worried if my females did not preflower whilst still in 18/6 be well bc

Yea I would say that the female is probably not getting enough light if its flowering pretty good. If it's just got a few pistols on it then its just showing its sex and hasn't hit flowering yet.
But yea i've seen a few interesting crosses with Rhudies but most are lacking in potency. If you can find it Guerilla Gold strains are pretty awesome and borderline autoflowering.

This. Preflowers often begin forming around 15/9 to 14/10 photoperiod in SWIM's experience

Female preflower are longer and pointed and may even have pistils/hairs. Male preflowers look like balls and can even resemble small lobster claws when small.

Those pistils are the main feature to look for. Don't yank up just yet if they don't display right away; wait until Yyou know.
