Is this Male or female?

I don't even have to enlarge that pic to see it's a boy. Collect pollen and make free seeds.
Ok thanks, i need seeds for next year so i maybe keep it. But how do you see the difference between a female-ball and male-ball? I mean how do you know that the balls wont develop any pistils? :)

For one thing they are the wrong shape. 2nd, some are growing out horizontally or pointing down and female flowers don't do that at this stage and 3rd they are far enough along that they would be showing hairs by now.

Female pre-flowers are almost always singles whereas the boys form bunches pretty quick.

:peace:
