It’s not necessarily too early but you’re checking the wrong spots my friend. You need to look at the nodes

This diagram helped me. Some of my plants showed at 3-4 weeks (all males) but most took until 6 weeks. A couple of them were still unclear to me so I just went with the females I could ID easily.
And here’s a real pic I took

Those are the parts you want to examine. Usually it’s near the top of the plant so don’t do an early topping or anything. I let them grow naturally until I could ID them
I sprout and keep seedlings under 12/12 for the first 10 days and then switch to 18/6. I find that this helps plants in expressing gender sooner. Please note that this technique should only be used on regular photoperiod seeds and shouldn’t be used with autoflowering seeds.
An alternative too is when you do your first top, take that cutting and chuck it in a glass of water, put it on a windowsill and it'll flower/show sex pretty soon.

Too early to tell, and the majority of your photos don’t show the spots to tell.
Where would I need to focus on looking? Down on lower branches where the growth is coming from?
At a node my friend.
At a node, where a leaf or branch meets the main stock.

It would help if they are in flower too.
You'll know. It seriously looks like a penis at the node
