ok, i know all are gonna ask for pics or tell me to read on.....but, i've been stressin for roughly past week on which of my plants are male or female.

i have a definate female, but my 4 largest plants have the stem with a ball on it in many places. i know balls equal males, but i am not sure what i am seeing. i pulled these 4 plants out and set them aside for thye past few days, but i cant seem to bring myself to kill em,lol......now, i see a white hair coming out of one of the mentioned balls.....are these swolen calyxes or just male preflowers?

any help would be much apreciated.:-?

ill crappy pic but if there is a pair of white hairs (pistils) coming out of the "ball" then its female. if you are growing the same strain the males are ususally easy to find just by how they grow. usually taller with alot less internodal growth, and usually show before the females. i always like to wait untill i see either a couple hairs or a few balls to seperate them and cut up the males. if your growing bagseed expect hermies tho.

this is bagseed, so could be a hermie.....there are alot of similar balls but no more hairs yet...should i keep waiting for more hairs or kill?
i have removed these 4 plants in question, but still have them alive by a window.
will these balls turn into bananas or more white hairs?

I don't know about Bannanas <--lol Maybe Watermelons. Are you in Flowering? how far into flowering are you? and if you start to notice dust, or pollen which happens remotely early with male plants. DOn't confuse this for being THC like i did years back. i actually kept a male not realizing it was a male, it was my only plant. and i thought the dust was THC, but later found out that, that sucka was a Dude plant.
Fem's have White hairs and lots of Bush, Males have Gap spacing, looks like a tall tree rather then a bush.

lmao.... i meant the banana shaped pollen sacks,lol
can a plant be full of swolen calyxes that may look like a ballsack?

i cut the lights 17 days ago to 12/12 from 24/0
fox farm open sesame-tiger bloom-big bloom as per FF feeding schedule.
my 2 femals didnt show till about 4 days ago when i pulled these possible trannies/confused males out.

it a hermy probably i had the same thing a couple of weeks ago trust me if it was female you would be able to tell. i didn't kill mine i just put it outside and am leaving it there simply cause i couldn't kill it. haven't figured out what to do with it yet

input, buy a camera. what are you hoping more guesses will give you, a stronger mind set? won't change the actual sex of the plant.

apologise all you want, it doesn't help that there is nothing clear enough to identify in the picture :). we are all just guessing based on your descriptions, there's nothing conclusivewe can tell you. find a mate, borrow a camera with macro, and snap a clear pic, else i'm afraid we are all jsut shooting guesses in the dark. it sounds like it's a hermie but at the end of the day could be male, female, can't really tell.

thanks for the input this time tip topbongsmilie....i just got a camera and will upload more pics.

i guess i wasnt clear with question, but i was asking more if these hairy balls can be a sign of a late female bout 2 explode. I was looking for input on what others have seen in their personal grows from experience.:eyesmoke:
