Sexing question

Having trouble determining the sex of this one, I've never had a male before so I don't know exactly what they look like, just know from other pics. You might not be able see by the pics but they are the best I could manage. Some of them look like balls, not too different from the female tear shaped ones, maybe a bit fatter. But also noticed on some there is a little green stick next to them, or even two sometimes its hard to tell. They are kind of like the ones you get during veg but right next to the preflower and smaller... I have seen pics of balls hanging off of things like this but mine are just next to them, is it possible that they are still developing and are probably males? Just want to know as I'm going away for a few days tomorrow and would like to take it out if it is male to give the other ones a bit more space, my grow room is getting a bit crowded.

yeah I was just checking man, this is my first grow so I'm not sure about everything, I said that they were similar in some aspects to females. they may not all develop the same even if they end up the same, there were little differences between the two females that I have had.

yeah I think you were right, when I got back they looked even more male than before, even though I wasn't certain I chucked it for space reasons, well actually put it in my garden, but I think its too cold for it to grow anymore as it hasn't shown anymore progress.

well yes males are very important in the ganaj world, they help make seeeds, males produce pollen which then lands on the white pistils of a female which then tells the calyx to produce seeds containing 2 of genetics, females and male genetics into one!!!

not realy Hermi plants will produce Female and Hermi seeds but I read a thing that it could make the seeds a higher chance of being a female by doing a few simple things that would change seeds that were made from a male and female plant to have a higher % of getting a female

Are hermies useless as males? Or can ya pluck the male balls off and pray for no pollen? THC levels lower on them?

males are only good for pollen, they do not produce trichs...... also herm plant produce feminized seeds, when self pollinated it should be 80-90% females, when using hermie pollen on a seperate female should be 90-100% females.

someone said to clone out a male incase you want to make seeds later...... what a waste of time, collect pollen in small brown glass jars, put in a silica pack and put in a dark COOL place, i do not use the fridge. pollen has lasted me one year this way, maybe longer.
