I bought this clone from a medical dispensary (so I assumed they were all feminized), but it's looking more and more like male, and I wanted to check and make sure.

This is a soil grow using ~8 CFL's, and this clone is about 4 weeks old (still in veg 24/0) from when I bought it (it was 1-2 nodes when purchased). My temps have been pretty high, so it could have hermi'd (81-90 degrees).

Can anyone give me a little insight? Thanks!

To tough to tell from those pics.

That is definitely a male my friend...bummer...do you see any pistiles anywhere?

You might have a herm in which cas you can still flower, and then the seeds produced will be femmed (Or so I am under the impression of)

But... if I had to guess I would say where you have circled looks like new growth sights or pre flower sights, in which case you would have a female. Don't know that you'll be able to tell a male before you go to flower (12/12).

If those were new growth sites they wouldn't be bunched together like that

I've heard of cases where people buy femmed seeds and get males.

I've also heard of plants that show sex before flower too.

It's a male, possible hermie, look for both sexes on the plant

Sorry for the picture quality, my only camera is a webcam (decent though for a webcam!).

I don't see any signs of being a female, so I wanted to confirm it was a male before I threw it out (other two plants are showing female signs). At first I thought they were new growth sites, but these little balls are popping up everywhere and are clumped together so I assumed a male.

This plant was very strange because the stem was very thick at first and I noticed that it looked like two plants fused together (looked like two straws glued together side by side almost). Too bad it was a male, I wanted to see how this 'freak' plant was going to handle the buds.

Thanks for the help!

That's a male.

Don't throw it out, take it back to the dispensary and tell them that their supplier is not doing correct QC on the clones to determine proper sex!!! Furthermore, if the supplier can't even get something so simple as GENDER right, what's to say they are also selling strains under wrong names to get that higher $$$ for them?

VERY bad business.
