IMAG0367.jpgIMAG0368.jpgIMAG0369.jpgIMAG0370.jpgIMAG0371.jpgIMAG0372.jpgIMAG0374.jpg I was recently told that these "balls" were baby pistils...Is that true? These are in the middle of the plant and up on the top the pistils are out completely. As this is my first grow, Im not sure. These balls look like male "balls" but there are no clusters, only one on each side of the plant. I have three plants total and the other two have not had these, that Ive seen anyways. But this plant also was kind of like the runt of the three so Im not sure. Can someone help me out please? This plant is two weeks into flowering under a 600 watt HPS light, which I just turned on today. The last thirteen days I used the 600 watt Metal Halide. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Well, like I said, the pistils up top are showing so Im not sure. There is also a ball just like these on the top with the pistils that has spread apart. I am seriously hoping that its not a male ball or that the plant is a hermie cuz if so, then it has already pollinated the whole garden. That's as close as I can get with my camera. Any closer and it will not focus

Thank you Sunni. I have the same pic that I was just looking at. The more I look at them, they look like male balls, except for the ones on top. They have busted open and it looks like something may be trying to pop out. Ugh, no sense in worrying I guess. If its a hermie, it has already pollinated all my other plants.

Is it tall and skinnny? I dont know 100% but every male i ever grew shoots up like a pencil with less internodes, the ladies tend to show more leaf...

Not tall at all. Very short compared to the size of the other two females in there. I started out with four and had one male and got rid of it, now down to three but having problems with this one.

If its male it hasnt dropped pollen yet so your others should be fine, but they go quick, give it acouple days. If male it will show for sure. Im leaning towards male but i hope its female brotha!

Well its definitely a female. The question is, is did it turn hermie? As I said before, there are pistils on the top that are easily seen. So Im wondering if it is a hermie and what is going on with that ball that has split open
