looks female from here... male balls usually will cluster... it is easy to mistake a female for a male if you dnt give it enough time to show and your not expirianced.. balls dnt open right away so wait untill your sure before cuting a plant down

a view from the other side might help

yea i see that but its like you said not a banana now if you watch it and it splits up into bananas than its a male but untile then i would leave it untill it shows for sure, ive seen manny plants look like they were comeing up male then pop them hairs out... point im makeing is dnt cut a plant down until your sure, i wouldnt cut that plant down, i would wait a week and see how it develops it looks big for a male flower. would suck if it was female not herm and it got cut down b4 getting a chance to develop enuff to accuratly sex but thats just what i would do from my experiance.

All good points but I think he was talking about removing the questionable part only not the whole plant. That's what I would do anyway.

Yeah I think its a herm as well. From my experience when a pre-flower spits out hairs, so does every other pre-flower at the same node. Not to mention the female pre-flower and the pre-flower in question don't even resemble one another, also a pretty definite sign that the one is male.

Thanks man, I got real paranoid... its my first indica and the flowers doesn;t look anything like my sativa wich I'm quite sure is a girl...
I'm especialy worried about the tip looking very truss like. I've had a 6' male once so I can recognise those, but this just look smale and when I start going into the little balls its mostly just hairs...

its always best to not make judgment too soon im sure ive cut down plenty of females just because i was impatiant and did not give em time to fully show its sex
