Male or Female? Preflower while vegging?

[thirdeye420]

I got these clones, or teens when I got them from a place called arbornursery out in cali.. All TLO organic. Out of the 6 teens that I got, 2 of them are showing preflower signs of a male? please verify... I'm not sure how this is possible, knowing that this is suppose to be a cut from the mother plant. Are preflowers this normal under a 20 on 4 off schedule? I've been vegging now for about a month. Thank you for any help

Thanks guys . I just saw that one of the balls burst. This is all is veg still mind you, I did not think this was possible. I'm hoping my other plants aren't affected as I do have pretty good air flow in my room ... sigh. Any suggestions? Should I continue with the rest of the grow? If pollen did get to some of the other plants, would they start showing signs of hermie right away? Again they are vegging.. Should I let them veg longer to see if they start showing signs of balls as well? I'm doing a no till grow, I wonder if chopping them up the boys and putting them in as a mulch layer would be ok without affecting the other plants

If you have good airflow there is more of a chance that other plants are affected. That being said if they aren't showing pre-flowers, could keep it going and see. If they did get the pollen they wouldn't go hermie though, would just have seeds in your bud.

If the others in the tent are not flowering then remove the male and isolate. Remove the other plants and give them a good hose off and clean the grow room.
Replace non males and continue with the grow.

You can either kill the male/ grow him out/ save his pollen for chucking/breeding later on.

under stress female clones may shoot out male pre flowers or it could just be a genetic issue which may go away

I already cut them both down and put them aside to dry so I can use it as mulch later on. I already hosed down the plants, thanks for the heads up on the tent, I'll give that a good wipe just in case.
I appreciate all the quick feedback. This is my first grow and its good to see that there's a community out there to help
