Yeah, sorry man, but "little balls" = male

Seeing as you are still on a veg time schedule, these must be presex, but it's indicitive of a male plant non-the-less. I have the same situation, but my presex is female.

I just changed my timer to 12/12 to accomodate my lady's needs.

All you can do is yank it and try try again.

Maybe buy some feminized seeds to ensure a useable plant. I haven't had to resort to that as all my germs have been ladies, but I'm gonna buy some fem purple kush soon enough.

Keep on trucking brother, we need as many growers as possible.

dude! dont kill em yet! keep em going and get the seeds then grow em again on 24/7 light auto flowers are badass =D if you can get one to flower on 24/7 you will get buds quick... and pretty big buds, its best to switch them to 18/6 once they show their sex :)

But wouldn't setting your light schedule to 12/12 quicken the flowering process? The last 2 grows I've had were auto flowers, but upon setting them to 12/12 they really took off. Shouldn't it be faster flowering if it's set to 12/12 as the plant would have more time to resperate?

It's all good, I'm not the most experienced grower so I had to ask. But my bio/chem degree says that it should work that way.:leaf:

autos r supposed to go great with 20/4, and u dont want to pollinate ur fems, unless you want seeds and not good bud

If that plant is indeed a hermi, get it away from the ladies, or it will pollinate all of them.

u can still get bud from it, but be very careful , get em very away and put water on the balls, even cut the balls, thatl reduce pollination but still u gota be careful
