Hi guys pretty new to growing had a go at Hydro some 15 years a go, White Widow, turned out banging... These pics are from bag seeds... One from some weed bought in Mexico (was hoping for a landrace genetics ) the other is a sativa strain... I used the old school method of wet paper towel, which worked well as expected. They will both eventually be outside hopefully in about 7 days max ..

I've been keeping an eye on these small growths, my gut feeling is they are both Hermies the problem is after extensive research and digging around on forums etc, I found that the description of male sex organs are always referred to as balls, and the only pics ever shown are of tiny little balls, there are not many pics of male flowers that are more developed (guessing because they are never allowed to fully develop) making it tricky to know what these are? As you can see there are plenty of healthy looking female flowers etc .. Any help would be amazing .. I'm going to grow them outside regardless as I have nothing to loose ... Apart from another seed bag plant which is doing really well but about 3 weeks behind the other 2 plants.... So If this turns out to be a female the other 2 will be evicted

Not sure there are any out n out males, as both plants have pistols, got some "quality" seeds on order, but thank you for your excellent advice

When I magnified the first two pics I could see both pistils and balls........originally I thought they were males.
Regardless.......I would kill them.

Also this what I mean about misleading comments or information... People keep saying balls, but they are clearly not balls, more of a pear shape bud? Balls are balls ... Round these are not?

If you are seriously going to ride it out get a spray bottle of water ...spray and pick off every single nanner , ball or whatever you want to call the male part before it opens and sprays pollum all over the girls private parts..... repeat process till harvest.

It's one thing to have a true female plant pollinated by a male plant or through rodelization.
It's another to have a hermie with 1/2 female parts and 1/2 male parts.
IMO......the harvest will be a waste of time.

Thank you for your input but as I say I have nothing to loose... I will put the 2 Hermies outside, where minimum effort is required whilst I focus on the plant that is 3 weeks behind, if "she" turns out to be a girl the other 2 will be evicted and the girl will take their place... Like I say nothing to loose and experience to gain... I'm pretty sorted for smoke so no drama
