Male or female?

There are 5 in total.

#2
#4
#1
#5
#3

5 different plants in total.

Attached is them in one shot. I numbered them based on their location. Furthest one in the corner is #1, and then just continue counting clockwise. #4 is pretty hard to see, she is a little short, and between #3, and #5.

I'm trying to determine who are males and who are females. It's probably still too early to tell, but there are a few defining characteristics happening.

eg: look at #1, are those the balls everyone is saying I should be looking for(to identify it as male)? #3 looks to be starting it too(with the little balls), but on its epicotyl, it has what looks like the start of a female flower... So I guess maybe hermie?

What do you guys think? My guesses as of now are:
1,3 are males
2,5 are female
and 4 is really too soon.

hard to see those pics but pic 1 might be male
as in the #1 pic not the first one

What part are you looking at specifically? I was aiming for the Epicotyl, and trying to keep a node visible. I can try and get a better picture, but that light turns everything orangy in pics.

just try to take a pic as close as the nodes as you can,move some fanners if you have to for a clean shot

yea looks like picture3 #1 looks like balls

I increased the exposure by a second, then put my hand behind it for some contrast.



This is #1 again.

Everyone is 100% this is a male? Is the giveaway that little cluster of ball looking things at the node?

Yea, a cluster of balls is a good sign of a male.

somtimes if you take it in a different room without nthe hps lights it will much easier to see. but a male indeed

get close to the nodes thats all we need to see

#1 outside of HPS, and focused in on the node.

Yeah, that baby has balls...sorry dude!

pre flower shows male in my pics it was a Male flower before opening yours is still inpreflower if it was female it would have hairs and no balls see how the balls are raqised alittle off the node the hairs female preflower will just slit and the hiars willcome out when in full flower the plants act the samr famales have hairs males have balls/pollen sacs thairs are like the hairs on corn and take the pollane to were it needs to go the fertilize the flower to make seeds yes thats right the female makes the seeds.

I just dont want to accidentally kill a female. The pre-flower stuff is a bit harder for me to identify. Thats why I am posting what I think are the males for you guys to help me confirm.

The other one that I think is a male, is #3.

This is... him


The balls are much smaller, but I believe that is still balls. Do you guys agree?

looks male but wait you have time it will be so clear in a few more days and u have weeks before they can pollenate anything

withoutAchance, thanks for the advice, I will let #1, and #3 chill a few more days. Thanks for the help guys!

and go ahead and post again with pics will help u out again no sweat just give up some rep we love rep it the star to the botom left
