So I grew this Jack Skellington from seed from TGA Subcool, i haven't even put the plant into flower yet it's still on 18/6 and yesterday I noticed these male balls on the plant. I was wondering what are the odds of TGA seeds going male before you even put them into flower I always thought that TGA subcool only sold feminized seeds. Here are some pictures of the plant kind of a bummer since this was my only jack skellington and now i have to regerminate all over again also can someone tell me if the balls have burst already ?

TGA feminized seeds??? whadafauk...I never heard of such silliness. Is this your only plant? That would suck balls, pardon the pun.
i'm just misinformed no this isn't my only plant i have more plants that were next to it. Do you think the balls burst and spread pollen on the other plants ? Will it cause the other plants to hermie/cause seeds if they don't have any flowers on them ?

Sub doesn't make fem seeds.

A plant shows sex when it's old enough even in veg.Flowering will just show sex faster.
Do you think those balls burst and pollinated the other plants i have even if they have no signs of flowers on them ?

It has nothing to do with hermies really.

Pollen is viable for about a week if not stored properly, So if your other plants do not flower and show pistils to collect the pollen within about a week, you should be fine. Water kills pollen so if you want to ensure it, you can always use a mist bottle and spray your plants.

This is what I have heard but I don't know how true it is....

Supposedly his best "crosses" were created by Jill and she took the best genetics with her.

I've always hated subs seeds. bought a few and some were the worst producers and were super finicky. bought green crack from cali connect and been happy with those

More than likely no.I can only see the one open sack.And it doesn't look like the actual pod containing pollen has opened,but my eyes aren't what they used to be either.

2 options.Like mentioned,let him stay and do his thing and create your own seed stock or get his ass gone if you want that sensimilla.

If you choose to ditch him for fear of seeding the rest of your plants,i'd also give your area a little wipe down with some water and bleach to kill any pollen that may have possibly got loose.But by the pics it looks as if you caught things just in time before a big jizz party got started.
