the pics are a bit grainy but it looks like a male. those look like pollen sacks, and btw a seed carries gender, a plant can't become male, you've just been growing a male this whole time

are you serious? that sucks, and what are the odds of it becoming a hermaphrodite? what if i just pulled the pollen sacks off it altogether? just ripped them off? prob no result, i also feel it prudent to mention that they are still in Veg stage, so i guess seein clusters liek that MUST mean its male...

weird, the flowers, male or female, appear after the light schedule changes to 12/12. is it an autoflower? a hermie will look mostly like a female, and typically there are male flowers and can go unseen or there will be the obvious pollen sack that i've just pulled of to preserve my sinsemilla. and i've never heard of a male herming, i'm sure it's safe to say you should just get rid of it. if you rip off the pollen sacks you'll just have an injured male plant, sorry buddy. males suck. that's why i always start at least two seeds.. mother nature tends to give a 50/50 ratio. you'll have better luck in the future

really sorry for grainyness of pics but webcam isn't great, just above my thumbnail.. i really hope this isn't a male... these are my first babies..

well, let me try and explain it, i'm sure you could google images and tons of results... a male will show balls, simple put. a female will have like a water droplet looking bulb with a pistil extending upright. i don't have any males but i have females in preflower, if that explination didn't make sense i'll take a pic of the female so you can at least know what that looks like. and for the super newbie, haha, when i first started growing i started with autoflowers, they show sex within two-three weeks and that was a great way to find out which is which

it does make sense, would love to see some pics for reference though, if you don't mind.. as far as i know the initial baby was big bud, dunno what the second one is, but that means very little now i guess...
