Thanks man. Trying to learn and experience a grow. All I am learning is that I am growing and spotting males

Sometimes fate deals some crazy hands...I planted 2 packs of seeds, got 9 of 11 females on one strain, 2 of 11 female on the second one. If I'd only popped the second pack, I'd be ready to whip myself out the window by now. Hang in there, the law of averages owes you!

shit happens, but chances are you will get some females.
How many plants do you have now?
Dr. Jekyll

damn, not looking good but at least you are learning how to spot a male
Mr, Hyde

Two plants left that were the smallest. Havent see too much in a way of sexing yet. Will take some pics of the last two in the morning

ive heard that males grow faster so hopefully the smaller ones are your ladies , . also quick question if it has the white pistols it can still turn out to be a male ?

If all those have been male so far, id say toss all of those from that batch. I had like 200 og seeds and like 10 sexed male so i tossed em all. Recently Ive had 3/3 bagseed be female. I find that the less seeds you find (1-5 beans an OZ of good, typically there are none though), its most likely a fem. If there are plenty of seeds, then you're playing the lotto. Or maybe ive just been getting lucky lol. I dont have such luck with the Mega Millions though ahahaha.

If stressed enough, plant feels death is nearing, or simply having the hermie trait will cause the formation of balls. (Im still unsure of this hermie trait thing so dont quote me on that one). If you're fem does develop pollen sacs, collect the pollen and mate it with another female. Do not pollenate the same plant the pollen came from.

if my plant turned hermie i would NOT breed it with another female, it will have the hermie tendency.

If it was a true hermie then I would agree
Dr. Jekyll

If it became hermie due to stress or environmental conditions, then there is no trait/genetics to pass on
BTW: this is more common than a true hermie

Not if stress induced. Precisely why i said mate it with another female and not itself. But aye, do ya thang!

the one picture looks like a male the other is too pink to tell what that is

I can't say for sure, no clear signs of either gender but often the males do show first so your odds are improving it will be female
Please take your next pic in normal light, as it may show better details

My wild ass guess would be hermie

Too early to tell, when you see distinct white hairs you will know, give it a couple 2-3 days.
