The pics I posted were sexed without any type of magnifier. It takes a while to get used to finding them, but once you get it, it's pretty easy.

That's why I like clones...I know their sex anyway...and they express it very quickly because they were taken from a mature female.....the length of time until maturity is much shorter....perfect for SEA OF GREEN

Clones have NO length of time til maturity, they were taken from a sexually mature plant, they keep all the same traits including maturity. You can flower a clone as soon as it is rooted.

Just a pair of normal reading glasses... 3 or 3.5 x will help greatly......

12 bucks maybe...

Try that first.... The glasses come in handy for other stuff too..

Reading glasses in the grow room are a must.
Buy them at the 99 Cent Store.

Yeah Ive been eyeing my plants for preflowers. In my experience the males usually show first. Males are normally taller, and stinkier than their female counterparts. So far two girls, four males, 10 undecided. They just started 4th week in 18/6. Patience is a virtue when it comes to growing. I have been sure a plant was male but turned out to be a female.

That's if you're astute & study the preflowers. Once the males start to flower, they explode, and then the females lag behind. If you have a guerrilla grow somewhere out in the woods, intentionally don't spend much time there at all, you'll notice the males first. In an intimate garden, one you can study, the OP's method is spot on.

Given Colorado's plant limitations for personal growers, large plants make sense vs more smaller plants in a sea of green setup, if your grow space will accommodate that & if you intend to stay on the right side of the statutes.

I recently suffered an embarrassment of riches- too many girls as determined by the preflowers. Lucky for the excess maidens, I found them an adoptive home. Otherwise, they'd have been chopped. Their new tenders confirmed my accuracy, as have the girls left behind.

This State legal personal growing deal is entirely too good to not play the game. It's still a felony to have too many plants, sad to say. If I ever want to grow a shitpile of the stuff, (not likely) I'll follow Gettogrow's methods.

Ground up you need to learn the actual preflower in a female plant is not the pistil,the pistil emanates from the preflower.They normally are more like a teardrop structure with a smooth surface.Male preflowers throw out all sorts of cabbage looking balls and I'm not talking about pollen sacs,they come a bit later.Bottom line,get a good magnifying glass and check out you vegging plants weeks 4 -5 or six and you will definitely be indetifying them without that bullshit you go through with the flowering out a branch
