One of the plants (grown from seed) at a friend's house turned male so I checked my own plants extra carefully. None of the ones I grew from seeds had gone male yet but one of the 4 clones that I bought had little round pollen balls all over it :(

I thought clones were guaranteed to be female? I guess not?

Could be a hermaphrodite? I've heard feeding plants asprin in the veg stage can turn them male but I doubt you've been doing that.

Just right from the club into a pot of miracle grow on a dripper system. The plants are doing well overall but that one plant, I just can't figure out what's going on.

All of the pollen balls were on the top half of the plant so I just cut the top half off instead of taking out the whole plant. I'll keep a close eye on it. All of the other clones are doing very well.

Cull it. Why risk all the rest for one plant.

Pics?

Yeah, you need to contact the person who sold or gave you the clones and make sure they know about this. It could still be a hermie, either way it has to be killed and die a virgin. I would move it completely away from your other plants. I had a plant I wasn't sure of so I just put it in a spare closet for a couple of days until I was sure, broke my heart to kill it.
