Male plant or female plant

[jlinzmaier]

Hello.

Very new to growing. Is this looking to be a male plant? No sign of any pistils whatsoever and now it looks like it's growing groups of pollen sacs, but I might be mistaken. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I should add, this is one week into the 12 hr cycle.

Thank you! I thought so, but this is the first time I've come across a male.

I guess..... time to go chop it. Whats the likelihood that it would have already started pollinating the auto right next to it that went into flower two weeks ago?

Nope, those pollen section are nowhere near opening. You’re catching everything in time. You’ll be just fine.
If it looks like these pictures right here, then you might’ve run into some issues unless you were breeding

You're doing great asking questions early! If you're seeing small round balls forming in clusters (especially at the nodes), and no white pistils, it does sound like it's likely a male. Pistils look like tiny white hairs, while pollen sacs are smooth and ball-shaped. A clear close-up photo would help confirm for sure, but trust your gut if it looks like sacs and no hairs, it’s probably male.
