Are these pollen sacs?

Hey everyone,

This is my first grow. I purchased various seeds to experiment with and the plant in the pictures is White Widow (photo) freebie from seedsman. I had several other seedlings going (autos and photos) and they have all hermied and/or had growth stunted and remained mere inches in height.

I can't say for sure exactly what went wrong, but I started things indoors, moved to outdoors without any caution or hardening off properly; circumstances arose a few weeks ago last minute and I basically said screw it, everything is going outside from the tent right now.

So pretty big temp/environment swings aaaaand some light pollution as well. Not really trying to deduce exactly what all has gone wrong, just trying to figure out if I have to throw this last plant out and completely start from scratch. It currently lives outside in summer heat of daily 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 60-70% average humidity.

Has this plant developed male pollen sacs? Is this plant destined for the trash?

Anyone cares to share their input I would be grateful.

No those are female calyx's. That's a female plant. All is good.

They’re calyxes.

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I'm so relieved.

If they have hairs coming out of them.........they're female calyx's...........not pollen sacs.

To put it simply, you shouldn't be growing if you don't know the difference between male and female anatomy. Twenty times a day here.....why is it so hard to figure out for everyone?

Well you're entitled to your opinion. And I respect that. I personally disagree of course.

I get it though, you can't stand people like me. What are you gonna do though right? Is what is it is. I say no sense in getting worked up over it.

I'd promise not to be so incredibly irritating in the future, but I think I'd be settin' myself up for failure.

Maybe there should be a "sticky" post for the ongoing "male or female" question.
I think the main problem we have is that people want to know ASAP.
Best is to wait a bit until the signs are clear.

Maybe you could identify every single anatomical part of a plant before your first grow reached flower. Congrats. Sometimes people are asking just for verification, and others are just asking for help.

I guarantee that there is something you struggled with your first try that came easily to others. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses.

You act like it's the same person asking the same question over and over. If it irritates you, move on.

Everybody who smokes it should grow it. Gotta start somewhere.

Ignore the negative posts. There's no harm in checking whether its Defford a male or female. Congrats. She's a female. Now take the best care of her you can.

It's easy to tell after you've seen enough of them, but think back to junior high, when they still had plaid on, it was tough to tell without experience. After you've seen enough of them, you can tell at a glance.
See, everyone diagnosed this batch in a flash.

Over watered, makes them cranky later.

Usually those with the least ability are the most critical and shitty. Me, I can't grow and I admit it. That's why I grow outdoors. Lotta Pissing contests around here about who's the best grower. Funny shit really. What I grow sure works for me. Friends don't bitch either.
