First time males poped up or these girls changed there mind ! I check my grow morning and night and the first time I mist the bed time story's Bang over 1 1/2 days I got blossoms going on !! sounds crazy but these plants were growing 1 1/2 to 2 inches a day. these were in my bud room to boot with other well budded girls ! But there are no pollen sacks so do I need to worry about my real girls pumping out seeds ? or do pollen sacks open up like that ?......... help ! panic male plant 002.jpg male plant 001.jpg

The first 1-3 sacks that open and throw pollen are sometimes sterile and wont fertilize your female. If you're lucky this is what happened but if they are viable pollen you'll see the hairs on pollinated buds start turning brown prematurely. That would be a sign that seeds are starting to form.

Still befuddled ending up with 5 male plants when only 2 seeds were free regulars no clue were the others came from since I buy only female beans. wont be germing any regulars any more............... thanks guys for the help much appreciated, :weed:

You check your plants every day and a male plant grew this long? I'm not following this. Why does it sound crazy that they were growing 1/2 to 2 inches a day? That plant could not have gotten like that overnight. I don't see any signs that would make you think it is female at any time. Are you saying it had buds but in the middle of flowering it switched to pollen sacs? In need of enlightenment I am.

Bahaha I was wondering that my self . I already pulled 2 plants a couple days earlier and yes they went from a suspicious looking to bang balls in about 28 hours. Bear in mind this is my second grow and no males on the first grow, so its my first experience with ID ing them. And I only germed 2 reg beans so I wasn't thinking more males.........they went really fast that's all I can say. My room runs 80-84 end of the day maybe that accelerated thing.................. fear not will be more carful now on :wall: you have bin enlightened !
