Sorry dude. There's no way to tell from those pictures.
If you say it has balls, then it's either a male or a hermie.
Yank it out.

[attachment=o207884] this one has the white pistils to look for

[mrcalanchi]

can i make hash from the male.. i can right... there still usefull even the hermie let grow and then hash?

[dooobster]

Ehhh... you're gonna be disappointed with the results.
If I were you I'd just yank them & try again & hope for some females.
Just my opinion, you can do whatever you like :)

[mrcalanchi]

well what ever sex my clan my be... does have somewhat of an effect on me.. but i will continue to grow the plants on until death parts us... so i can make it easier on my self and future grows to know whats what.. good idea.. "hash with boys and hermies?"

If you grow those hermies and a pollon pod breaks, It will pollute your flowering area with hermie DNA and thats all you will get untill you clean the area very well.
Males dont make enough THC to bother with, It would be easier to start from the beggining and do it right and save yourself an oppps! post later.

those things look pretty lanky, what kinda light are u going it.

Hello Folks.
Its very hard to tell, still from your piccies M8, and the amount of information you've given.
If they're only 40 and 20 days old, how long ago did you put them to flower? if you have put them into flowering, you've done it too early in my oppinion, they really need more vegging, or you'll be very sad with the yield. and if you've not yet put them to flower then you can't know how theyre gonna turn out yet.
Unless you've done it early, to just sex em, then return em to vegging, but I some how doubt that, because your on about keeping males, get the fuck shot of any males, as soon as you know for sure, (unless your raisng males for breeding obviously).
BTW, all the other three guys are right.
And yes, what light are you using, they do look somewhat stretchy, wow if you flower em now you'll end up with a lolipop.
And next time remember, the better the piccs, and the more info you give the more likely someone will be able to help you, and the answers will be more acurate too.
Toodle Ooo.

its called south texas sun light... all natural i guess... i have a tent made out of window screen to block out bugs works great first 12 1 gallon pots in it..

[mrcalanchi]

man all i did was buy 12 one gallon pots miracle gro soil with 3 month feeding in it... seeds soaked in superthrive and water.. for 24 hrs.. the wet towel germination.. one third soil, one third perlite, one third vacumelite.. planted and grown out doors the whole time.... i dont under stand why there sexing them selfs if ive done nothing but let them set in a pot an gro.

[mrcalanchi]

i dont know whats going on... not all my plants are doing this... just four, two show balls, two pistil... i never tried to make them flower... the only thing i can think of is that i cover the tent in towels to block out car lights and remove them in the morning... im bug free... :thumbsup:

Hello All.
So your growning em, eu naturel? What time of year is it where you are? Do you get loads of lovely bright sunshine like I'm imagining? (stuffy bleeder:-) ) if so does that window screen block the light badly? I wouldn't expect em to stretch like that under a proper currant bun, (unlike the poxy excuse for a sun/summer we fuckin seem to get these days).
Unless there was a big queue of beasties, stood there lining up to scran fuck out of the plants, I'de get them out in the direct sun, that window stuff could be blocking out some of the valuable light.
Also you may be better going through a series of succesively larger pots, that could help with the stretching.
Do you know what breed they are, like are they a lanky tropical sativa or summat?
Also, unless your coming into your autumn, and your getting 12 hour nights they won't be showing any sighns of sex at all, so you could still have some females there.
But if you are already there and they are starting to flower you've really started a bit late. Maybe get em indoors under some lights, amd make sure you get some cuttings going ready for next year, a shade earlier.
Ta Ta.

hey martian can i continue to grow my females with sexed to early, flowered to early, but show signs of being female because of the pistils with no balls... can i let it grow to clone before the lollipop appears?

[mrcalanchi]

i have four with pistils showing like all other females no balls just those with pistils... clone them... b4 they produce lollipops that way i wont have to start from seed again? ill have just females right. cloned females right

[TheMartian]

Hi Folks.
Yes absolutely, but if you've already gone to 12 hour nights where you are, and they have started to flower the cuttings you take will be a bit harder to do and they will need to go under some lights on for around 18 hours, so that they revert back itno veg growth again.
B ut to be honest, the amount of plant there is a the moment, if you start taking cuttings there will be nothing left to flower.

[mrcalanchi]

hey umm martian.. will it still revert back to veg in 24hr light?
under this setup will be fine right?

[TheMartian]

Hi All.
Yeh, anything over 12 really, but I personally don't like the 24 hour on scheme, at most I run 22/2, for cuttings, because I'm sure I've read that they metabolise slightly differently and make different chemicals/hormones/compounds under lights out, and in the natural habitat they never would get 24 hours light, so I like to give even cuttings a little "rest".
Under vegging I run 20/4 or 19/5.
Any flouro's will be OK, but I'd use 3 to 1 or 2 to 1 ratio of blue/cool/veg to red/warm/flower.
If your only doing a couple, those small 20 watters will be OK, but as they grow you will need more light.
Normal flourescent tubes will be OK too, get 3 or 4, 2 3 or 4 footers, and mount them to a board, or under a shelf, (much better if you can adjust hight easily though), you want them as close as posible.
I have one for cuttings, two cool tubes, one warm, 3 footers, mounted on a board, and this is fine for cuttings, and a few "bonsia" mothers.
Good luck.
See Ya

It's not gonna work outdoors man... You'd need to plant them as early as April...if you're planning on doing it outdoors.

Martian has got it right... Move indoors and give them longer days, hopefully they survive the transition... good luck.

[TheMartian]

Hello Folks.
Do you intend doing the cuttings, for going under lights to flower, then OK, but if your intending them for next season, for outside again, I'd just leave these and flower them, and get some more seeds in, in time for next season, becuase in that case you've plenty time.
Ta`Ta.

[mrcalanchi]
