Yeah i'm not going to give up until its absolutely clear or at the very least a couple weeks into flowering, i have just been checking lately for pre-flowers and this looked more like male balls than female pre-flower. Thanks for the quick response

dude.. the time between starting the 12/12 light cycle and finding out the sex of your plants is HARSH... Day 4 of flowering, and I report... it sucks. I can't keep waiting!!!

I'm holding out hope that they will end up being female and its just too early to tell for sure but unfortunately i have another one that looks just like this one and i have a suspicion that they may both be males. I wont make the final decision until I begin flowering and its absolutely clear.

I actually havent started flowering yet. I'm 5 weeks into veg and i wanted to wait until 6 weeks and then make the switch. This was the first sign of pre-flower that i have noticed and it just looked more like a male than female but i'm obviously going to wait until i'm a week or two into flowering to make a final decision.

Well i havent started flowering yet but i would like to wait until i'm absolutely sure before i take its life. I didnt think a male would start to release pollen until a couple weeks into flowering, in order to ensure that the females have exposed pistils to collect it. But i'm kinda a noob so i could be wrong. Nonetheless i will be very cautious in the next few weeks to try to ID the males, i will continue to post some pics for help from you all. If it is a male i'm contemplating putting it/them outside and letting them produce pollen so i can collect it to make some seeds.
On a related side note, will a male still produce some pollen if i put it in a somewhat poor lighting condition outside. I'm not looking for optimal pollen production just a little for future use.
Thanks for the help, any and all advice is appreciated.

How can one plant being male prior to flowering cause the others to go hermie. I have never heard of this. Wouldnt it just fertilize any female and produce seeds and how could it fertilize a female that is not flowering or even showing pre-flowers? A male can drop pollen prior to inducing a 12/12 schedule? I'm not trying to argue, i'm just trying to learn through asking questions and according to you some of the things i have learned may be false. Could you or anyone clarify my questions?

Iam probably just in full denial but i would love to get as much input as possible on the sex of this plant before i do the inevitable and end its life. So anyone please give me all the advice you can. Should i wait, or is it clear that this is a male.
Its really hard to accept the ugly truth if this is a male. I would just like to get as much advice as possible. The worst part is that i have two that look just like this one and two more that have not shown any indication of sex. I'm currently in week 5 of Veg and i planned on switching to 12/12 next week.
Thanks in advance

if you have 3 looking like this,,save the others,,take em out,,It killed me to kill them the first couple of times,,but after you learn what a male looks like in front of your eyes,,you'll be rippin it outta the grow,,strangling it all the way outside,,and doin a happy dance as you slice the fukker to bits
