AGAIN, i'll reiterate. Where are you seeing this? Picture 3 is nothing but calyx. & No, you don't treat as male and cull. you treat as hermie and wait for a SURE sign of sex. THEN decide whether to pull it or not on your own accord, not someone else'! Most on here aren't big time operations and are only growing for personal smoke and can't afford to just ditch all that time, money and effort. I'd much rather pull a few bananas everyday if that were the case then have no smoke at all for all my time and effort.
Point being, don't go around telling people to just pull their plant's bc YOU think it's a male. A new member without much knowledge might go and just do it and end up discouraged to even attempt growing again.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and most are full of shit
