well i saw what i thot was a pollen sack at the top branch of the top most internode. now there is two branches branching off lower on the plant, one side showed a single sack but the other side of the plant showed no signs.
now there is what looks like a couple of hairs coming from lower/older internodes, but they are not white they aer still green.
what is really confusing me is, i dont think its ready for flowering, and it has stayed on 18/6 since it was old enough.
what should i do? should i leave it to see if it grows more balls, should i cut it and make a clone? suggestions would be awesome please.

If you see a pollen sac,I would get that boy out of the room,put a bag over it if needed when moving,it doesnt take much to open a sac and pollinate females.I have found that males will show their sex first.Usually you will see what looks like a pitchfork type of prong where the sac foms ,it will show first before the sac,it kinda looks like hairs that remain green until the sac forms an stay green.I used to start flowering after a few weeks to sex them,then revert back to veg after sexing ,that way your not wasting time and space ,or nutes,vegging a male.Now I have two mothers ,I got tired of wasting time and media .Hope this helps

Ride it our until your sure what it is, many times new foliage appears to almost have a single green hair come out the middle and as they expand slightly they can look like a single pollen sack until they finally decided to stretch out. Especially if it's your first grow because pictures on forums can only show you so much. If it is a male, make some BHO or Butter.

Butane Honey Oil. Sound delicious right? Haha

Any of the extracts are fine, just wanted to make sure you were not just going to trash it because a lot of people seem to think males are useless which is not at all the case.
