Males or Females ?

Males appear usually after a week, females after 2 weeks.

The balls are pretty obvious and wont release pollen till there is a bunch of them, often 1-2 weeks after first appearing.

Im not sure thats a male. Its best to wait till you see its a ball for sure.

Females always have 1-2 white hairs sprout first, its obvious.

The males equally so.

Great thanks......naturally get worried about it changing the others. Im guessing no wind in a greenhouse could help also.

You´d have at least 5 days pollen free after the first of appearance of balls, in clusters.

Probably more, so basically you have a bunch of balls on the plant before they are mature enough to spill the pollen, so no worries.
