Male or female?

Alright guys I need your help. Can anyone identify whether this is a male or female preflower? I apologize for the image being pretty blurry, I tried getting a clearer picture but out of all of them this was the best I could get. Comparing this to pictures on Google, I feel like it might be a male. What do you think?

that's what I was afraid of. Damn that really sucks. Should I wait until it's more defined before I get rid of it or is there a really small window for me to do that before it pollinates any of my other plants (if there's any females at all in the bunch)

Looks to be a male. I would suggest separating before another week goes by. As soon as that sac opens up you run the risk of pollenating. Male pollen sacs can burst open way earlier that you anticipate. Be careful if you're trying for some sensi

Daaaaamn im so upset lol I was really hoping to get lucky with all females. How well do they have to be separated? I'm growing in my closet which is a tiny space so I'd have to find somewhere else to put this bastard
Here's a couple more photos, both from different locations on the plant

If your not wanting to breed any strains then just throw it out.

Oh fuck it hurt reading that. The thought of destroying one of my babies is so heartbreaking. This is my first grow ever and me and these four plants have been through so much, so many ups and downs lmao. But yeah I'll most likely be getting rid of it unfortunately

Yeah don't want any small chance of it pollinating your other plants when in flower. You can have the male on the opposite side of the house or outside and it can find a way to pollinate the others either by getting pollen on you cloths or it going through the ducting of your heater/a.c.

Damn that's some determined pollen. Out of the other three plants, I have one that is definitely female. The other two im not so sure about, they look like the beginnings of male preflowers when I compare it to the plant i started this thread about. This is upsetting. Maybe I'll just let it pollinate the female and grow those seeds

Is it easy to buy femenised seeds online where you are? It usually cost me around 20$ a seed. But I'm in Canada so growing and buying seeds is legal. Also if you want to post some pics of the other 2 plants you suspect might be male I can maybe help but they also might just be to early to tell.

I didn't take any pictures of the other two unfortunately. The one that I think is definitely female has a couple pistils starting to pop out so she was easy. The other two however, they look like the start of male preflowers but im honestly just too inexperienced to really tell for sure. Im hoping they're female. Does smell during veg give any indication to what they could be? I noticed all throughout veg, the plant on this thread didn't really have a smell, not like the other 3. The confirmed female i have has a very strong weed odor and so do the other 3. This plant was the only one that really didn't have much of a smell but im sure that could also be strain related and not really gender related. I could order some seeds but I don't know what the laws are in the US for ordering weed seed online. Im in Mississippi

First off, not close enough to see if the plant has pollen sacs, however I do see white hairs...BUT you have leaves with only 3 fingers....are u indoor or outdoor ?
Usually when your plant grows 3 fingered leaves...it usually means the plant was forced back into Veg FROM flower due to light schedule or to much stress, or it could be genetics...I'd look into it I believe some growers will say it effects yield however I have ran into this particular issue and did not see much of a difference in yield or quality at the end. Good Luck & Happy Growing !!

Hey there here are some better photos I hope this helps identify it in a better way. Yes it is a indoor grow and I did have to disrupt the lighting stages as I had a house inspection and had to have them away In inconsistent light schedules as it previously had. That was a couple weeks ago now and is now back into its usual set up. Any tips now if it’s male or female and suggestions on what I should do? Thanks heaps
