Male or Female plant?

So its been 8 days since i flipped the switch to 12/12 and im confused if this is a male or female plant. Not quite sure if these are balls or tear shaped. What do you guys think?

Looks male but give it a few days.

Sorry the first ones didn't show the balls quite well. Maybe this would confirm your suspicions

Any suggestions on what to do with this male plant? Can i use it for hash or something? It feels really wasteful to just cull it

If its a good strain you like grow it out seoerated from any females amd collect some pollen to breed it into something of your feeling adventurous.

Here are pictures of the differences its pretty distinct.

If you have any females with that i would seperate them before they get pollinated and are full of seeds

Ya its pretty disappointing but you could still save some pollen to breed your own strain which is a plus. And it was good practice so you can refine what worked for when you get a female.

I'm having a similar problem but I think it's mainly disbelief. Is this plant male too? View attachment 3864814

Sucks man but yeah, seems like it. What strain is it?

RahulZA said:

Probably just going to take it down today. I'm not sure about the strain, random seed from a friend. I have white widow growing in another pot so counting on that to pull through

I did the same. I threw it out though, it's too much trouble to make hash out of a single male plant. I have 4 more females on flowering anyway. Goodluck on that white widow!

Apears to be a hermaphrodite. My 100% female Varius CBD, (by MedRelief) has hair type structures growing at each node. It is important to note that those round, most likely are pollen sacks are not present on females unless it has hermaphrodite genetics lingering. It should have: nodes (hairs, stem, fans and subleaves).
Don't watse it. Have some fun. Separate and bring this male to maturity, remove some pollen. Separate a known female and pollenate. The resulting genetics is new and may require some refining. (A series of cloning and re-pollenating another till the genetics are refined and it grows consistantly). It must: 1. be mold and mildew resistant, 2. not freak out, 3. produce ample supply while remaining consistant. 4. produce it's resulting harvest in a timely fassion. Etc... All the while you record your findings and have a failure or a success.All the while you have a "new to the world personal genetic strain". Or be lazy and remove the male, remove all it's seeds and smoke the fuck out of what's left of it.
Either way unless you have a hankering for tinkering. Don't buy "unfemmed, unknown seeds". Fems are woth the no hassle grow. Or, buy a strong scope and sex the seeds before starting. Female seeds have tiny dimples on them not seen with the naked eye.
My whole grow started from a single feminized seed found in medical cannabis I bought off a fella. One seed.

Yeah it seemed a waste to throw out good genetics. I had a G13 haze that turned out male. Unfortunately i dont have a separate room for flowering my male plant so i had to cull it before it pollinates the rest of my girls.

Don't get so down about males. My second grow was all males. But one was afghani and the other was c99. So I grew them out to collect pollen. Males aren't as bad as you may believe them to be. I understand that producing seedless bud is preferred. But if it's a personal grow who really cares about a few seeds when reproduction is better for the long term.

Yeah as much as I would like to keep the male plant around, let it flower etc I only have one grow space so I rather not risk my other females.

Should I just toss it out or will it have any usable THC content?

Just toss it man, not enough THC to bother with, males are for pollen, females for seeds and buzz get a good stable of female keepers and then worry about finding a good male or 2

Im in a pinch right now. Out of 5 plants 4 turned out male! It really pisses me off cause i bought what was advertised as fucking feminized seeds! I had 2 aghanis that turned out male and a bluetooth autoflower fem from marijuana-seeds.nl that turned out male. All fucking males! Only one left was my northern lights! Fuck this!

Its so male, Chuck Norris prays to it.

RahulZA said:

Hey man I'm so sorry to hear that! The male is always a painful thing to see.

I have a development of mine. The plant has started showing a few wisps which I believe to be female, attaching a few pictures below. They aren't the best quality so please zoom in.

Those are female flowers showing. Are you flowering them or are you just trying to presex them?

Don't let a random Male plant bring ya down. If it's a strain you love or feeling adventurous do as others have stated. Separate that plant and collect pollen. Remember things could always be worse. Here is a shot of a Royal Queen seeds Fruit Spirit that was second generation of the plant. First generation showed no signs of Hermie so I let this whole branch grow a bit too long out of curiosity. Yes, It pollinated a few surrounding bud sites. Shit happens, just have to learn & move on from it. I learned what a hermie off-shoot looks like now, and to cull that shit before it goes too long.

Hey man do you mind taking a look at my latest post with the photos and giving some input? I thought it was a male initially but now it's showing female signs. I'm quite confused

I don't see any male parts.... lots of female.

@RahulZA you ultimately grow with what space you have. No worries about anything other than enjoying what you're doing.
