Thinkin its male ?

[Belfastboy]

Hello again, had a wee plant sittin out the back for 8 weeks, since we had a great summer, its only 10" tall but fan leaves are big and some internode branches are 4-5 inch long,its always looked healthy but not took off to much in height, tho understand this could be the strain of plant, using a nursery mix/ perlite and its never showed deficiencies, no pest problems (apart from the pesky magpies were always digging round the base of the stem????) lol Now the nights are dropping im bringing it in under the lights, but as of 3 days ago think i may have detected a male..... Damn!! So if i manage to figure out how to upload photos i will get a few up, and would sure appreciate some of your fine expertise opinions!
I say male cause there are clusters of what looks like pods/ pollen sacks around the internodes, tho i dont want to be mixing these up with female preflowers, as i understand these can look clustery too, these are tight against the stem, wheras i spotted 2 pods which are hanging from from a pistil/stem from the stem rather than sitting on the stem and after reading forums for the last 3 yr have read on numerous occasions that this is early male detection in veg.... would any others agree with this?
Will try get some pics up and any info appreciated, cheers, Peace :rasta:

To upload pictures click the icon with the tree in it. (Above the text box)

A male and female preflower is very different.

The males will have a mutiple little balls appear that eventually turn into clusters of pods.
A female starts out with one calyx at all the inner nodes. And by the time the second calyx's appear, the first calyx's will have 2 white pistils (hairs).
So, if you have clusters of "balls" and none of them have produced pistils yet, I can guarantee its a male.

Since it is your only plant, just let it grow until you know for sure. No harm will be done since there are no females around.

I have attached a picture that I found on google to help you. :thumbsup:

Some crap pics, using phone camera, but i think the hanging nutsack says it all tho what Mrgrowbig was saying bout the calyx n pistils, i can see this all over bottom half of the plant as the pods are dominating the top half... so wondering if its actually a hermie?
