I did think at one point that it might be a hemie cos it only has 4 balls and loads of white hairs at the top. But my lowryder-2 is now nearly 6 weeks old so if it was a hermie i think it should be flowering by now, but's it's not so i'm guessing i got it wrong and it's male after all. That or there isn't enough light for it in the green house.

I don't know what to do with him now though, cos he doesn't seem to be doing much, not getting any bigger just maybe a bit more stretched.

Should i cut him down and make him into hash or what? Or do i really need to leave him longer if i'm going to do that? Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

You could cut the balls off as they appear. It's a lot of work though.

Post some pictures and the pros can help you out.

I have no where else to put it apart from in the green house it's too tall now to go anywhere else. It's easy over a metre high i think.

If it's your only plant I'd let it grow. It could also be an intersexed plant, not hermie. Intersexed plants carry the male/female dna from the get go. No matter what, it's going to have male and female genetics. A hermie is caused by stress, have you done anything to cause stress since the grow?

If it's stretching, it needs more light. That could be why it isn't doing anything else. It's too busy directing all it's energy into reaching the light.

Possibly, but THC content will be very low. Once a plant is pollinated, all it's energy is directed towards making seeds and protecting them, not producing THC.

Not enough shots of the nodes and they are blurry. Pic 6 looks like it might have some pods, but at that size there should be lots of them, especially if they are starting to flower.

The 6th pic was off the only 2 balls he has, the other 2 have dropped off, and i can't find any anywhere else on him. Just the white hairs at the top that you can kinda see in the last pic. I dunno what's going on, any ideas What i should do?

Like I said before, if you don't have any other plants and this is your first grow, go ahead and grow it. Nothing like getting a bit of experience under your belt.

Well then get rid of that hermie if you think it is a hermie. It will ruin the other female!
