Sorry about the picture qualities. I tried but my phone wouldnt focus enough. I have not seen white pistils so I am assuming this is a male but I just want to make sure.
I am growing northern lights and also if I grow this out, I can harvest seeds to grow more NL, will any of it be females?

If you were to save some pollen from those male sacs when they open you could paint it onto a female and she would make seed. Those seed would have the ability to grow out either male or female.

Cannabis is a wind driven pollinator. The males release the pollen to the wind and the female pistils grab a hold of it and start making seed. A male by itself can not make seed it needs a female. A female, on the other hand can make seed by itself. Stress, chemicals and genetics can cause a female to hermaphrodite. This plant will pollinate itself and any other females in the area. Cannabis pollen can travel great distances on the wind outside. I have had plants seed from mystery pollen in the past.

thanks for the info

So should I throw this plant away immediately since I dont want pollen to lay in the indoor garden and pollinate future plants?
