Please Help a Newb Identify Male Plants

Hey guys, I have some plants that were put under a 12/12 light scheme a week ago and it seems like some of them are showing their masculinity

I think these guys are male, but if anybody could help me be more positive about it, that would be awesome.

Plant 1:



Plant 2:



Also, if they are male, how long would you say I have until I risk them pollinating my girls?

Thanks much.

They look like males to me . Males will develop more of those little balls , then they will pop open an release pollen a lot earlier than the females . That is their purpose . I usually take them out pretty quickly once I realize what they are . Those dont look like they are going to release pollen today but its hard for me to say . I'd take them out soon unless you need the pollen and have no place else to put them . I get rid of mine before that happens but a few weeks ago in my third week of 12/12 I had 3 hermies that started to shed their pollen , but I think I got them out in time . I just checked on the 20th day of 12/12 they spewed .Other strains could differ though .Hope that helped .

Im a newb too but ive seen a good bit of males and thoose appear to be males, Id get rid of them fast or you could end up with seedy bud.

them are males, just get rid of them unless you want seeds

males all males

males.....
