1st time grower, is this a hermie???

[GrandRefa]

Hi all I know for sure the 2 biggest ones are female hairs are growing like crazy daily....now on the one I thought was a female also it started growing hairs but seems it stopped, and now its growing what looks like balls but not 100% sure since this is my first time growing and im not sure how it starts to look when buds start forming. My other male I threw out looked sorta liked this except they were way bigger. Got couple pictures of my setup and the biggest one and its hairs, look good so far??? Is very stressful being first timer heh, but getting easier it seems, thanks in advance.

Kind of a better picture of the one, sorry didn't notice other 2 were kinda blurry.

does look maleish

no, though it's hard to tell. look along the stem where the nodes develop.

now that i can zoom it up it looks like either the beginnings of an uber tight bud or a huge male cluster. cool lookin either way tho

Agreed, Hermie sacs are usually banana shaped where straight male sacs are balls. If banana shaped sacs show up then by all means do not let it pollinate the other plants. Keep your eyes on it but from the pics I could not see a hermie. Those ballish parts are most likely calyxes developing. Looking good for your first grow man, keep it up.

The one plant that I think was a male looked the same but had no hairs and the clusters were bigger, had some ball type sacs at the nodes to, hope I didn't cut down a female plant heh, prob not the first one to do that on accident. I still have alot to learn so no biggy...unlike the other 2 females this one only developed like 1 maybe 2 sets of hairs at like 1 or 2 nodes so not sure because other plants are going crazy with hairs all over. Ill be sure to keep a close eye on it. I was touching the sacs and one fell off I squeezed it and liquid came out, maybe resin? I had no clue they were gonna get so big so fast so kinda glad that the others turned out to be male to free up the space, next grow will probably only do 2-3 plants at most until I get another light.

The 2 females have overpowered it and its not getting as much light so figured it possibly got stressed and turned hermie, guess when the females start to bud more ill know what to look for and wont make that mistake again, tried to find pictures of young budding plants to see how the tops looked but couldn't find any. The tops are pretty hard on the one I thought was a hermie....are buds hard or soft usually? Will keep you guys updated but im pretty stoked at my first grow didn't think it would go so well.

Hopefully after this grow will know a lot more and will be easier to determine whats male vs whats female so I wont have to be so worried lol, thanks alot guys yall have been a great help!!!
