I'm not sure if this is a male or a female. I was reading online and comparing pictures, and I think it's most likely that it's male because of the "ball and stick". I attached a picture also. I just want to know for sure, because if it is male, I need to separate it from my three other girls before he pollinates them. He's already pretty big though... Are males just a waste of space, or can they be smoked/cooked at all?

sorry for double posting, but I couldn't figure out how to edit... I just wanted to add some more pictures of my plants. I am just having trouble telling which structures are what.... The little pods on the large plant could be preflowers too, so I don't want to do anything drastic until I know for sure.

I was told that it's a lot easier to sex plants then what people think. I have ten going right now and from the size deference you can tell. That to me looks like a male. I was also told that if the water leaves round up then it's a male, but if they round down, then it's a female. If your not a 100% sure I would just move it under a separate light until your a hundred percent sure! I hope this helps! Smoke up and have fun!!:D

you need to remove that plant in the first picture. Its a definite male.

If you want to have lots of seeds rather than lots of smokable buds then kill it.

If you can put the male somewhere to collect the pollen you can then pollinate the lower branches of the females to get more seeds for next time.

Its a good idea to make more seeds for yourself. Have fun then !

Thank you so much for the replies :). I killed him... It was a little sad :/. If only he didn't have balls....
