Yeah, the shoppers 
these days are all heroin addicts. They'd grass you up just to get bail off a charge they'd most likely get a fine for. desperation for the next hit and all that.

There's no need to panic... the balls of a male have to congregate quite a lot before they burst.
A female will have a calyx, which looks like a male ball at first, but then two white hairs/pistils will sprout out. The males will just keep growing balls, they usually show up in pairs, lol. No, truthfully they do.

so ima try growing around my house... after i germinate the seeds and get the to start growing inside then what do i have to do? b/c i want to grow outside. What is a good amount to go check up on the plant and water it? also what should i do for the soil? this is my first attempt at growing so thats why im asking all this, cuz i dont want to mess up.

male plants also ALWAYS have thicker leaves than females.

Scratch my last post, for I was misinformed.
The difference in leaves decides the "strain".
Cannabis Indica has fat leaves usually in no more than 5 leaflets
Cannabis Sativa has long slender leaves with up to 9 leaflets
In case anyone every needs to know how to tell the difference between male, female, and hermaphrodite plants.
Female plants, when in late vegetative -pre-flowering stage- will produce pistils.
Male plants, when in the same stage will start to produce a sack that sort of resemble Garbanzo Beans. These open up in flowering and pollinate females causing a female to end THC and bud production and begin seed production.
Hermaphrodite plants, in the same stage will show both sexes and are of very little use to the grower for recreational use.
Males should only be Kept in the wish of creating buds with seeds for reproduction. Otherwise, I recommend cloning cuttings.
Pistils - 2 small white hairs that protrude from the node.
Node - split of a branch from the main stem or where the leaves petiole splits from the branch.

Those are some very nice macro pix. Just curious, what kind of camera/lens was used on those males? Those images were better than anything I've yet seen in books.

Congratulations! It's a Bouncing Baby BOY! Those clusters on the top are all balls!
Sucks to go that far and have a beautiful plant turn out to be a male. Happened to me. I kept it in veg in my closet for about 2 1/2 months. It was about three foot tall when I switched it onto 12/12 only to find out that my now 5 foot monster was a male! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
That was before I knew you could make hash outta the males, so I just upped and tossed him into the river.............

Just a little "heads up" for everyone that has read some of the misinformation in this thread. You DON'T need to put a plant into flower(turn the lights to 12/12) to tell whether it's male or female. After your plant is vegged to the point that it starts growing in the "alternating internode" pattern(usually around 6 weeks), which means the plant is sexually mature and will produce the best weed it's capable of producing, you will be able to find "pre-flowers" in between the "stipules" and the new growth, at each node. Male and female pre-flowers are a very easy way to determine the sex of your plant without doing anything to your plant or the light cycles. You have a long way to go before you'll be able to tell sex, and NO, you can't change a male plant into a female plant, unless there's some mad scientist out there that knows a way of doing it. I HAVE HEARD some ppl say that putting banana peels in a bag with your seeds will turn them female, BUT I have never tried it and can't say whether it's fact or fiction.
