Can anyone tell me for sure what kind of plant is this, i mean it definitely has balls and these white hairs. Do males produce anything else or only balls ??? Please help me know what do i have, i made some pic's for you to see.

Thanks

To me, it looks like a female. Lots of pubes forming and no bollocks. Quite a few people get confused early on because the calyxs (where the pistil comes out of) look a little like the male pods. Theres an easy way to tell - either wait a week to see if a hair comes out, or look VERY closely. Female preflowers look like rugby balls, whilst male preflowers look like footballs.
Oh and if youre Amerikan, I have no idea what the equivalent of a rugby/football is over there. Basically, female 'balls' are oval and male 'balls' are round.

Edit: looking at that last pic you posted, its DEFINITELY a HERMIE. Sorry dude... just try pulling the balls off as they appear, or you can leave them and have a few seeds when you harvest. Try leaving a few on just one bud and pulling the rest off so you can get some free seeds.

they are "rugby ball" shaped, 5-6 of them in one place like grapes, but on the top of the stems white flowers are forming. Im a new grower so i cant tell. I hope u r right, i would be :dance:

Thanks

EDIT : Thats what i thought, but no prob at least i get some good indoor seed. I hope my sec. one is a female, at least she isn't showing any signs yet.By the way, how do i pull the balls, pull them or cut them ???

Thanks Tom:thumbsup:

[Tom Swierzbinski]

In early stages you can just pull them off, as they wont have produced even a single spore of pollen yet. As long as you use something sharp (fingernails, for example) and cut them off as close to the stem as you can, then youll cause minimal damage to the plant. If youre still worried about harming the HeShe, then use a small pair of scissors.
Also, hermie plants tend to produce female seeds... but feminised seeds have a massive chance of turning hermie for some reason.

[SkunkMe1]

Well i could use some feminised seeds Tom, i mean still, its beter to have a hermie rather than a male. When are the balls ready to open?. This is the first week of flowering, how much time do i have? Sorry for the questions, but im hungry to know.

Thanks

I think it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for the sacks to open and pollinate any females in the room - so your safe to pinch them off

[SkunkMe1]

Hey tom thanks for your help man:thumbsup: I'll pinch each one i see. Do balls grow again ???


By the way what do you think about my plants ???
