is this a male?

hey guys. title says it all. im hoping its not.

not an expert but in the third picture i see ball sacks

Looks like it to me.

How many pestles or hairs if any are there where the sacks looking things are?

Deff. a male, Females do not produce more than one flower on one side of the crotch area (above node by main shoot). The best way I have found to diagnose early(before pollin sacks cluster pic#3) is 1 there is a small stem attached between the crotch and pollin sack and 2 if it starts to look like a beach ball in color with the differnt shades of green. Light Green then dark green then light green and so on. Ditch it 100% thats a male.

I am using a phone so smaller picture. The first pic almost looks female. The middle kinda looksmale but also looks like new growth. Should let it go a bit more since it won't pollonate anytime soon if it is a male.

A female plant does have a bud site at each fan leaf and brach off. It is between the branch and main stem so yes female plants do have a second growth above the new branch.

bigger resolution pictures taken from closer would help

Bro I hate it for you but it is a male, just cleaned out five from my grow.

I can clearly see pollin sacks developing around the so called "flower in question", I would not tell you this unless I was absolutley sure of it.

this is the same plant. i will put a bigger picture on a different server to see if it allows for a bigger resolution.

are you serious? its looking like a male? those cant be calyxs?

Man, just give it a week or two and be sure. Sometimes it looks like a boy but its really a girl and vice versa.

You don't have to worry about it pollinating for at least 3-4 weeks so just let it go for a bit longer and see what it does.

FYI, I use a 20x jewlers loupe to sex plants early. It really helps see the first tiny tiny white hairs. Also, plant is going to sex from the TOP down so look for male/female flowers at the TOP of the plant.

what do you guys think? this is after a couple more 12 hour sun cycles.

yup definitely male at this point

Definitely male and maturing. Remove immediately before all is lost. Cast it in the dirt from where it came!

noo. RIP beautiful male. you will be missed.

the only thing that confused me is why do the male balls have a hair growing out of them? is that standard?

three weeks at 12/12 from seed, roots arent too bad.

wait, is this considered root bound?

It sucks to find a male sorry man.
As far as the hair I think it is part of the pollen sack a pistol will be solid white.

Getting close I've let them get way worse before re-potting.

thats not even close to root bound. not even a little.
