Hello,

I am not sure if what I see here are male pre-flowers or not. Any input would be appreciated. Each is a pic from a different plant.

Yes sir it is

If your not wanting to have any females pollinated then yank it

But if you dont mind cuz your wanting some free seeds then keep it

Move it some where else and let it fully mature and collect the pollen from it , then you can use a paint brush or q tip or something to only pollinate just one branch for seeds and the rest of the plant will be seed free

looks like male to me, agree with goten, unless you lookin for seeds to grow a bigger crop or do test runs, cut it now.
 
i'm not sure about the second picture, but the first one has some balls on it. sorry brother. this is why i only start mothers from seed and always take female cuttings when i intend on flowering some plants. males suck.

Do you think that plant was (dead/in trash) old enough to pollinate? It was in the center of the tray and rubbed every other plant on the way out and was touching the other 4.

When I was violently and angrily destroying the plant in an act of revenge for the deception it played on me all of these weeks, I did notice 2 tiny ones which had white pedals. None of the rest of my plants are showing any pistols, but I guess time will tell if my baby girls got knocked up.

I doubt it pollinated, you WILL know when a male blows his load, its nasty and it smells like pollen, those sacks weren't old enough

I don't know about the smell your talking about as I've got plenty of experiance with hermies from back when I started growing messing with bagseed...I do however agree that they don't look mature enough, But he said he seen those white petals which tells me a couple opened and if they open, they pollinate...

I have a male in a shower with a female, and there is no air movement in the room and it smells like pollen, its weird

here is a pic of that male.

Well that gives me enough to feed my denial, and keep some optimism. I'll still vigilantly monitor. Hell, watching plants grow is right up there with fish tanks, I can stare at one all day.
