Male plant?

I have three plants and my thinking is that one of them is male. Not completely sure but the other two seem to have small pistols branching out of the nodes while the third has I guess what you would call small pollen sacks.

Pics related. The left one should be what I think I'm seeing as a female plant.
The one on the right you can see has those things....?

I think u r right . . . I ony see pistils on the first, and the second looks like it's a boy, but it never hurts to give it a few days to be sure.
 
Thanks will do. This is only technically the second week of 12/12 how long does it take before they start releasing pollen and fuck up my other ones?
 
The male flowers will only take a few days to mature, open, and start to release pollen. You should get rid of it immediately, that is definitely male and there's no reason to keep it around.

2nd one is male for sure 100% no questions asked. Give the 1st one 3-5 more days & we'll tell you for sure.

Actually it will take 2-3 weeks & they can only pollinate mature pistils, of which he really has none at the moment. But ya you should still kill it unless you want to try breeding for new seed stock.

I have the same exact number of plants (well yesterday I did), 3 total, the male started showing exactly like yours looks in the second picture. I wasn't sure so I waited another 5 days, and sure enough the male flowers just started coming in everywhere, little balls hanging off of almost every branch, and right on top there was a very condensed amount of them, like 20-30. I cut him down yesterday, and didn't wanna throw it away, so hung it up side down for no apparent reason. =] I guess you can say I'm "pretend harvesting" lol, but its more me detaching from the male psychologically because its my first grow and for 6 weeks everyday I looked at him and said "I'm getting a shitload of pot from this one". Of course it had to be a male though.

So I cloned 2 from each of my other 2 plants, I only want 3 females total, so if another turned out male I'd still have the 1 female and her 2 babies. But today when I came home I saw pistils on both of the other plants!!! So I'm psyched that they definitely look like females. Now I'll just wind up killing 3 clones and keeping 1 cause I don't have the room for more than 3.

And you definitely can't do anything with the plants, not only is it a male, but its just shown its flowers. Even if males produced THC you'd still have to prob wait another 8 weeks or so, but they don't so you can either trash it or go through the gay little process I am with mine.
