Is this a dude plant?

[RLT]

Okay, I'm pretty sure I have a dude plant. Given the situation and the fact that I'm a beginner, I just want to get a second opinion. Mostly it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm really hoping I'm just straight up wrong.

All my plants are technically clones. I say technically only because I bought them through a dispenser as clones; I did not personally confirm it. I'm growing indoors, in a tent. Currently a week or so into the flowering cycle. All of the rest of the plants look like lovely ladies.

This is my first time growing of anytime. I am a complete and utter newb. The strains are suppose to be BBC. I've never actually witnessed a flowering stage, so I'm hoping this plant is just further along then the rest. Buuut, I know it's probably just a guy plant.

So without further ado, here is the dude plant:

Looks like male "bubbles" if it started flowering and you dont see little hairs, most likely male, especially when those little balls start sprouting out everywhere, if you have both, it's a hermaphrodites which means the light was bad. Anyways, simply put:

I'm pretty sure it's a male, unfortunately - But, if you can upload a clearer picture of the little balls I could tell you better.

Yep i would have to agree looks like a male.. It looks like those are balls to me.. Males usually grow faster and are stronger!!

Thanks guys! I was really hoping I was wrong, but oh well. I really appreciate the input!

I do have a few more questions. Does it look more like a male, or a hermie? It would make more sense if it was a hermie, but frankly, it looks like a straight up male to me. I'll try and upload some more clearer pics, but my IPhone for some reason is taking some really blurry pics. I'm no photographer. :P

So in both cases, male/hermie, what do you do with the plant? Is there any use for it at all, or is it better to straight up destroy it? I have read that you need to get the male away from the females ASAP, but then I've also heard that you should keep it around for a little while so none of the females decide to go hermie. I'm leaning toward removing it asap, but would like a second opinion.

My last question is about the bad light. We use a 600wts cool tube light. We do have seven plants, and it's starting to get real bushy and crowded in the tent. This plant was one of three that were really tall and growing well (Consistent with what tokalot said, although the other two plants definitely look like ladies). In what ways can a light be bad, and how can you avoid that?

Again, thanks guys!

I think those are a little clearer, although I know it's still fuzzy. I can't seem to get those pictures to come out more clear then that.

Oh yea Those r deff males big ole sacks lol.. You have Three options..
Option 1:Take it out and throw it way.
Option 2:Take it out make a lil box far away from ur other plants flower it and collect the pollen to cross breed with another strain..(This option is only good if the plants from seed)
Option 3:Leave it in there and let it pollinate everything else in ur room...


My advice is to toss it!!:thumbsup:
