I realized this plant was male about a week ago when its balls began to drop, but then just today I noticed the appearance of hairs on it. I'm only holding onto it for the possibility of fertilizing the lower buds of my female plant. These hairs change things a bit though because if the plant IS hermie, then its possible that it would produce smokable bud right? i'm not big on quality here, but i'd like some input on how much longer I can leave the male plant in the same room as the females before it tries to rape them. maybe you can tell how much longer I have left from the pics. Thanks
I keep reading that male hermie pollen can create super potent females. is there any truth in this?

I ended up chopping off every budding stem except for the main cola which is throwing pistols, then I put a bag over it. you think my girls are gonna be safe from its ravenous pollen?

Good questioning...I don't think the con dome ideas gonna work here. I could cause a mold and milder problem if the bags left to long.
 

Great

lol that isnt a hermie man its a straight up male there is no reason for you to keep it at all....let me help you with the whole sexing thing....dont switch your lights to 12/12 until you see preflowers which are easy to distinguish after they are allowed to grow a day or two, you will see white ass hairs no balls like that one you have. then only after you had preflowers and killed all males do you start 12/12 and now at this pt you know you should have all females and only need to look for a stray male flower at the most

Its definitely a hermie, my cameras just not good enough to capture all the little tiny hairy pistols, but they are there. weird looking calyxes with two pistols shooting out
