Male or Female?

I cant really make up my mind about what this plants sex is. Its my first grow inside a little wooden framed box with a cover draped over it and a flourescent bulb at the top,i planted it around may 15. so its like 1 month and a half?

Anyways, It has little "ball sacks" but also looks like its budding, so are the sacks just immature seeds, or is it male, or hermaphrodite?

I grew it from some bagseed BTW.:hump:

Sorry dude, if it has sacks its a male. It could possibly turn hermie tho - check for white hairs.

Yeah, it has white hairs on like the top and 3 or 4 other "flowers"

Plus it has hairs that make a V.

Thanks though, i think it might be a hermie because the light cycle was a little messed up. :/

yeah, my camera isnt the best. But ill just describe it. It has ball sacks at the top, and white hairs on 4 different flowers. The only sacks are on the top 2 sets of branches.

cut off the areas with ball sacks and try to keep it as female as you can. check daily for sacs and cut them off. be careful though, you don't wanna accidentally set off the pollen sacs.

I know this is good advice, but i cringe whenever someone mentions to cut off the ball sacks

i have to small plants, and i think one turned hermie, if this is the case can i harvest the hermie because doesnt a plant stop produces thc and use its energy to produce seed, is this true? any advice on what to do would be much appreciated, thanks..

When the plant is forced to bud it produces THC. When it is pollinated THC production slows down and a seed set it developed. So the smoke off of the plant will still be decent you will just have to pick the beans out.

I see balls only on the blurry pic but I'm 90% sure that's what I'm seeing.

Better to destroy the males than risk a pollen sack seeding your females IMO

thanks, but if i did harvest now would the bud be any less potent than if i was to wait another two weeks or so?

From what i can see in the pics there is not really any bud. All i see is ball sacks. But yes if you wait to harvest the bud will get bigger and more potent.

Yeah, im going to wait. Its the only plant i have, so i dont mind picking the balls off. Plus it isnt making much balls either so its easy to keep on top of it. thanks for the suggestions all.
