I say its 80% male from the pics provided..
If its the only plant in your garden, Id give a few more days just to see if pistils pop up.. Maybe a hermie, which can be good in some situations.. But Id wait and see other people's opinion before I went and cut it done though, but Im just paranoid like that..

Cheers mate. Well i have four plants, 2 about 2 weeks behind this one and one whos still a baby. I dont mind having a male i was kinda hoping to have 2 males outta three because i have limited space. I suppose there is a chance it could be hermie which this being my first time i think i stressed them alot by dropping lights on them and stuff.

Erm.. Not sure. I always though a hermie was a mix of both genders.
This might make things clearer.. I believe this is a male ball but it only appeared last night.

You DO know that putting them directly into 12/12 light doesn't make them preflower/ show sex/ flower any quicker right? The Fluorescents have nothing to do with "how long it takes for them to show their sex".

Personally, they look like balls- but you should wait a couple days to make sure. And yes- a hermie shows signs of both sex...

Cause i didnt get a definite answer i thought id add new information. the ball looking thing i mentioned is now all around the bottom of the top shoot. but they have little green shoots coming out of some, are they pistils or is this plant just male.

You have alot of time, your other plants are younger so you will be safe waiting it out for another couple of days (3-4 no more than a week). But it does look like balls and a male, or a hermie if it has pistils.

Yea, but really, just give it a couple day cause those could be preflowers. I would atleast give it a couple of days, and see if they open into leaves.

Nah, thats a male. The female preflowers dont even look like that. And generally female's only have a ovule shaped preflower on either side of the stipules, not a bunch of little balls all around it. That is a male buddy, sorry.
