Is this a male

Hey everyone wondering if I can get your opinion? Started 4 plants from seed, all thriving. But now I think one of the 4 is male. I ordered special feminized seed from a supposedly reputable website, but I guess this can still happen… pretty pissed so much work. Based on these pics any indication it may be a Hermie?

I am very tight for space so I am thinking I may just have to destroy it so as to not jeopardize the other 3, which would be a huge shame since it’s a beautiful plant, nearly 8 ft with lots of colas.

Depressing…

All balls there, gotta remove that one from the females

The biggest, stinkiest plants are usually male

Sorry

fuckkkk lol ok thanks guys. This sucks.

Those balls are seed pods could be a hermie get rid of it before it pollinates the rest

Yea I’m moving it now because I’m growing 4 on a rooftop terrace and they’re a bit crowded with constant moderate to strong breeze.

this is brutal

Lol those are pollen sacs, they spread pollen to female parts and make seeds in calyx of female lmao

Sparks you got kids

No they are not, nor could they be cause that isn't the way nature does it

Welcome to RIU fresh new member

Yes for sure welcome , No offense I hope. I was just warming him up for the onslaught hes bound to get with those statements. Sparks you can learn a ton here i did and continue to. My best advice,especially if you dont have any sense of humor or slightly thicker than average skin, is just keep researching the subject. There is nothing wrong with being a noob, I still consider myself one compared to alot of growers here after 5 yrs. and probably always will. Come on how could I let something as funny and normal to a new grower as confusing pvt parts. There is no harm no foul...well until you try to answer my second statement. Have a good ride bud

No they're not seed pods. Lol.

I pinched a couple off literally nothing inside… So unless the pollen or whatever is microscopic, which I’m sure is possible, I am hoping I caught this in time and haven’t hermied my other plants.
Here he is, in all his glory.. fucker.

That’s a mighty male. What week are they on ?

I included a picture for reference

I just killed a huge bush that read female since day 35, that was months ago. He was huge and pretty, but l had suspect when he shot up more than others did but pheno was different. They can be stealthy!

Started the seeds mid April, moved outside May 24th… haven’t been tracking weeks figured since it’s outdoor the sun decides. But they just started showing true signs of flowering. If I had to guess I would say those sacs appeared within the last few days a week max.
Because I am so short on space this guy was behind two others and so aside from watering I didn’t pay close close attention… until I came upon this sac issue today.

hoping for the best with the others…

Hermie is stress or unstable genetics. You have a male. Yes the pollen is very small and if you were opening them up or squishing them around others theres a chance you seeded them

I definitely can’t say anything for certain, and the problem is compounded by the fact that this male plant actually tipped over twice out of nowhere last couple days (although now I wonder if it did that intentionally lol ) but based on what I am reading it seems like at this early stage there is very low chance at cross contamination, but of course cannot be ruled out.

I will be destroying him tonight. So sad

Looks like a male to me!

I am in the GTA and my girls also started to flower about a week ago.
I too grew from non-feminized seeds and got some males I already threw out.



You do not want to see this

Yikes… Yea was definitely headed that way. I used feminized seeds but from what I read it’s still possible to get a male. Out of the 15 planted this seems to be the only one, so overall not too bad I guess. Was tough to hack up that tree but the deed is done.
