New guy, novice grower, quick advice needed.

Hi all. I join you because I'm unsure of what to do with my plants. I've grown a few times before, but still don't know a whole lot about it.

My issue is that I've been growing a couple of plants for a while now. My largest looks like it's starting to flower. I was positive up until now that it was a female plant, but now I'm not sure if it's female, male, or hermaphrodite.

I was hoping y'all could take a look and let me know what you think. If it's male, I want to kill it off now before it pollinates my other plant.

This pic really has me confused. To my untrained eye, this looks like a bud forming on top with male preflowers growing beneath.

if you're seeing pistils, it's a hermie because there are balls aplenty showing
probably the same treatment either way, discard
a hermie can be grown out, best if it's the only plant, and pluck balls, but it's quite a chore

Thanks for the quick response! Really appreciate it.

I have another plant that's much shorter, but stockier. So far, I only see pistils on her, no preflowers yet. I don't want to chance it, looks like I'm killing hermie off tonight.

That is a 100% male. No hairs, all balls.

yeah i would pull it. if it s near the female and opens its pollen sacks your female will be super seedy and you will not be pleased.

it's dead.

thx again for the quick help!
