Preflowers showing! But I think it's a male. Can anyone help?!?

So I started another little plant outside to experiment with, but i planted a week before natures 12/12 cycle so my plant is already showing preflowers. I didn't want to mess with it while it was flowering so I left it alone until this morning. I took a better look at the preflowers and to me they look like little pollen sacks. Actually everything about them is giving me the impression that they are males. But before I chop it down I was wondering if any of you could tell.

got balls?

looks like a male from here.. but Id let it go a little longer to be sure. and what do you mean you planted a week before nature's 12/12.. thats still like a month away unless you live by the equator..lol

definitely male

I planted july 17th and the longest day here is july 22nd so I assumed that was when it started 12/12. I think it is in 12/12 otherwise the preflowers wouldn't be showing too but I'm still new to this and I could be wrong. And thank you all for the input. I just fimmed the plant so I'm going to wait it out for another week to see if I fimmed correctly and to make sure it is a male. After that I'm cutting the bitch down and I'm going to make a salad haha but I'm going indoors within the next few weeks and a few weeks never killed anyone.... hopefully. :rasta:

now the longest day of the year is the summer solstice which is about 15 hrs daylength. 12/12 is the autmnal equinox which is around sept. 22nd where Im at. Preflowers have nothing to do with 12/12. They show pre flwoers when they are mature but they FLOWER when 12/12 comes.

PEOPLE!!!! I dont know why everyone gets caught up in the 12/12 cycle talk? That is for indoor. I am pretty sure this is the outdoor section of this forum. 12/12 has nothing to do with your plants showing flowers or balls or anything else when they are outside!!!!

Wow, the intensity is completely unnecessary. Smoke some weed and stop being such a dick.

Md thankyou for your kind and unknown input. So basically it is old enough to flower, but mother nature has not yet given it the signal :smokin: And my plant has been confirmed as male so it's GONE haha

If you like its genetics, grow that male out through flowering and feed it aspirin once a week with your waterings...Might have a chance to make some 'feminized' pollen that you can store for future breedings.
(if you have other females present, too much of a risk to do this)

Just a thought
:stoned:

It was a bag seed so its genetics arent the greatest :/ its tall and has a skinny stem so idk if ill want to go through all that trouble ha
