I had similar experiences over the years. Males tower over females to shower them with pollen at the right time. If you are growing all the same strain then they should look very similar. I grew Shiva Shati 2 for my first ever hydro and one of the plants turned out to be a dude; there were only 2 in there and one of them had to be chopped. Chopping males early helps preserve the remaining crop. Recently I had to scrap an entire 40 plant crop; I tried pulling the pollen sacks off instead of chopping hoping that they were hermies, the whole crop had to be binned. Where as iff i just took the boys out immediately it mighn't have got so bad. WE live and learn.
