Thats a 100% male (clearly in pic 1) i see no pistils only balls indicating a full male and the seeds will be no good if its a hermie as the same genetics will be passed on to the next plant.
Those pollen sacks should open up like this.

Yeah, sorry man, but i don't see anything female about it, no pistils, no nothing. Better kill him now, before he gets horny and fucks all the gals in the area.lol :razz:

It looks like a male to me (based on pic#1). I only see pollens sacs, and very thin vegetative growth. You may be mistaking those thin leaves for pistils. When a plant is in the flowering-cycle, it still produces new vegetative growth, yet the rate is obviously much lower than the veg.-stage. But kill that intruder before he F's your crop!

Unfortunately yes. And we can all say that without a shadow of a doubt. The pollen sacs are clear as day in all the pictures, not to mention the absence of pistils. The pistils will stand-out and scream "I'm a Female!" haha. You can definitely trust us!

The latest photos look male. I feel for you. I lost a month sometime back when I planted some "mystery" freebee seeds and they turned out male. From now on I use only feminized seeds.

duuuuuude that SUCKS SO HARD! well guess i kno not to use bagseed from now on lol stucks cuz thats what ALL of them look like, well the ones that have their preflowers showin anyway. theres some that still havent shown me their goods so hopefully SOMETHIN will come outta all this. well lemme ask you all this, do all of you order fem seeds online? its just any and all supplies i need for growin have 2 b ordered, no botanical stores or hydro shops around, so that is to say i dont wana make any online purchases that arent necessary or ones that will be tracked and end up in me gettin busted. so if so, what sites would be recommended to order from? thanks all, i greatly appreciate it! +rep to all of ya

oh and also, all the roots are kinda startin to grow together in the flood table, so if i rip the pots out will it hurt any of the other plants? or should i just chop the males at the base of the stem n leave the pots there for the time bein? thanks again!

Chop the males at the base and get them out the house or garden as soon as you can as the roots maybe binding beneath the soil so dont rip the males out just chop the at the stem base.
