IMG_9647.PNG I have a plant that is 8 days into flower. I have a picture, to me it looks like the buds will pop from these but I have 2 people saying it's pollen sacks. Could I get some professional opinions please?

Looks like pollen sacks to me, usually you should have 2 white hair like things (pistils) coming out of the sacks/balls, if not its a male flower and you should look at carefully removing it from your room asap. Male plants tend to show sex faster than the females so the pollen is ready by the time the females start flowering.

Is this just 1 flower or the whole plant?

I left for work but I believe all the tops on this one plant is like this. But it was a clone, that's the weird thing. It's grown big too obviously. What are the chances that it's not sacks? Lol. Wishful thinking cause I can't be home for another 9 hours. Like have you ever seen one like this and be a female?

Snap working myself although the boss doesn't know i'm on here lol
it's not nice when you cant get home to them, if its from the same mother as the rest of them and the others don't look the same that is very strange indeed.

If you decide its male or has turned hermaphrodite the spray the sacks with water (pollen becomes useless when wet carefully put a large bin liner over it and remove that F&%£ker from your life asap. Nothing more horrible than a crop full of seeds.
 
I cant see no hairs. Its full on man. With big ass nuts. :wall::spew:

What a shit go hay mate. Have you got more. Ive never luckily only had a male. Even if only keeping one i will pop a few. If it takes off faster than others from seed its generally male. Thats what ive worked out any hows

If you see multiple preflowers on top of each other in a cluster it's a male. Even if there's one that looks like those just wait to see if pistils pop out. Some that look male end up being female. But if more pop up its confirmed and separate it unless you plan on chucking pollen

And generally speaking the later forming female flowers are more pointy not smoothly round/spade shaped.

Guy that posted male picture earlier had pointy tips? If you look up a few. But what I wanna do is pop one of those balls off and open it. Should have a seed in it right?

Pollen inside. Males make no seeds, just flower jizz..
