First time grower (indoor) and want to get some input from the experienced pros on here as to what I have here. These are about 6 days into flowering - hopefully not too late to yank the males out! Pics are not that great so hopefully they are useful. The first pic is one plant and the 2nd and 3rd pics are another plant. Any input would be greatly appreciated.....thanks :)

First one does look male. However, you are saying 6 days into flowering??? That one looks three weeks male at least, so maybe Im not seeing what I should.

If you are taking these pictures with a digital camera, you need to set it to "macro" mode, and adjust the setting for close up, high detail pictures. Then focus your pics on the internode sites.

Thanks guys.....appreciate your input. I just took a few pics that should show better. The 1st and 2nd pic are plant #1 and the 3rd and 4th pics are plant #2......I'm thinking both males but want to confirm :(

I have several more plants I need to confirm they are females and I'm hoping these males did not pollinate them yet.....from the pics....does it look like I'm too late?

Thanks again ;)

kill them quick. Start be removing them from the area entirely, then kill them. They are a lot further into flowering then a week. That first pic is about ready to burst open and pollinate! It is not too late, but it needs to be done quick. Every picture you showed in that last post, is a male and far along at that.

they are males. place a plastic bag over them and remove from the grow room. any bump or breeze from a fan will spread any possible pollen that might be around (even if you don't see any, sometimes a flower or two will open very quickly). you can also spray the males with water first before placing in the plastic bags. water helps "de-activate" pollen.

good luck!

I cannot see a larger version of pic #4, because the damn internet is like a snail this morning, but I am certain that one is a hermaphrodite. I see both male and female flowers.

Yep,... all those pics are boy's or at least have boy parts that will introduce pollen to your grow!

If you've got girls in there get rid of those plants or harvest a ton of seeds, your choice.
