I think I have a Male....Please tell me I'm wrong

[hbbusa28]

Ok, I turned the lights back a week a go and this is what I'm looking at. I'm deathly afraid I have a male on my hands. I can try to take better pictures but this is probably the best I can do.

Not seeing long white hairs but on some I'm seeing tiny...something coming out. However, on this particular branch (these are the most developed preflowers on the plant) it's feeling like a male.

Please, please, please tell me I'm wrong.

Maybe someone else has better eyes but I just can't tell anything from those photos....sorry.

Are you kidding. Don't be sorry. At least it isn't so in your face obvious. Gives me some hope.

Yea it is hard to see, but it does look like male parts. That being said I have a skunk strain that looks male until fully sexually mature. Wait and watch, then post some more pics.

NOOB GROWER DO NOT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
Looks to me like that plant's got its balls out.

I agree, but I'm a noob too. So take that for what its worth.

Just took another look at it this morning. I'm 95% positive it's a male. The lights have been set back to 12/12 for a little over a week now. Not a single white hair is coming from any of the node sites. The pre-flowers that are there seem to becoming round clusters. DAMN IT!

Nothing like taking 9 weeks of your life and starting over. Oh well. Grow log number 3 here I come.

it's 50/50 though i thought so chances are i'll get at least 2 bitches

Due to space limitations I can only bring 2 plants to flower. I had 2 but my cat killed one in seedling stage so all I had was this one left.

I'm sure it was due to the stress that was placed on the plant early in development. I had temptures above 90 degrees and res temps in the low 80's for about a week. On top of that I was on a 24/0 light schedule and I topped.

Since the heat wave, I've purchased an air cooled hood/reflector and found a way to keep the res temps down. When I replant, I'm going to switch to a 18/6 light schedule and I am now in a better place to keep heat under control. I'll still have to top due to space, but hopefully the other actions will help me reduce stress and increase my female ratio.
