Male tendencies or just the beginning of a bud.

I have token this picture with the grow light because the thing is so small it’s hard to see through a pic but the light makes it more visible. I would like to know if these are the telltale “balls” or just developing nugs thanks.

really hard to tell with that blurple but I agree, looks like a male to me. If you can get a better non-purple pic we could tell you for sure.
How could you tell for sure without blurple. If you’re still just judging by shape then there’s no reason to take the plant outside for assessment

They are saying plants are easier to see in natural lighting. Give a few more days to be 100% but if I had to bet right now I'd say male. Even if it's a male, it is nowhere close to being able to pollinate.

Because then I could actually see it. As-is i'm barely going off of shape because that is literally all I have to go on because all I can see is a small purple blob. A close-up of the part in question with more natural light(like even just using the flash on your smartphone) would be super helpful. But yeah could just give it a few days and know for sure.

Wdym? Nowhere close to being able to pollinate. Could it develop to be able to pollinate? We still have about 6 more weeks of flower

First of all is this the only plant in your space? Second how far along is it? How many weeks from seed/clone? How many weeks did it spend in veg before you flipped? Did your area have any light leaks? I ha e had plants that were maybe two to three weeks into flower and thought for sure it went herm but it was just swollen girl parts man. I would like to see I pic of the whole plant cause I myself just wouldn’t take someone’s word for it from the info you gave and the shit pics you posted that’s for sure. Don’t rush chopping it

That is a female which I thought for sure had some balls growing.
I have 3 plants in clouding that one. It’s been in flower for 2 weeks and vegged for 2 months. I have plants growing in different parts of the growth cycle so I take the flowering ones out and put them in a closet for 12 hours. There is occasionally a light leak when we turn lights on that are near because of the crack under the door. Other than that conditions are. Normal. This was actually one of my more healthy plants.
