outdoor in 5 gal plastic since May 12. going nice, no bugs or... was just worried that there were little male starts & picked off 8-10 - near main stem . lots of white hairs on top & side branches . Further research - they probably immature females not showing the pistles yet. Sooo, i guess that I will just have a few less buds? will any regrow or just what's there now? need to butcher a few fan leaves --- 6 in across.

Those “white hairs” are the pistils. A flowering site that was picked off generally won’t grow back. If you need some clarification on males/females, post some pics and someone will help ya. Welcome to the community - lots of great info and good people around.
Thanks much just being impatient & worried that any male pollen will make seeds. I do have lots of buds with those white hairs. my 1st year & being outdoors .... any over an oz with my 4 girls will be a huge success. Yes, tons & tons of info almost too much. also on reddit, weedeasy & a german forum.
great hobby to learn some new secrets LOL

If you got a few seeds in your weed, it's free seeds lol.
Some people prefer the flavour and the effects of bud with seeds, over sensimilla buds.
One thing I have learned from years of growing in a cupboard is - let the plants do their thing and don't be reactionary with them.
I hope you still get plenty of bud
