Had to look twice but I think I do see pistils. Many would call this preflower.  
But its really early and worth watching closer.

Little hair sticking out? Female. No hair? WAIT!!!. Observe the plant daily until you see the pistils. Plant starts developing more “balls” in these areas?

That’s a male or a hermie.

This is bad flower.

@oldmarine is exactly right.  
I saw this in your second pic and am hopeful.  
I thinks those are pistils…

This is a male. If it develops into this then you’ll definitely know what to do. I think that’s a female but wait a couple days and you’ll really know if it’s showing it’s sex or not 😉
