First time grow and im worried

[Magw1tch]

Hi all, new to the group!

I’m growing a White Widow autoflower from Zamnesia, and it started off great, but now Im worried it might be a male. Ive noticed what look like little sacs growing, and Im unsure if they are pollen sacs or something else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Early identification, females will look like thorns with a hair protruding and males will look like thorns with a tiny ball at the base. Sometimes calyxes will swell and look like teardrops and one time I thought they were balls and chopped a perfectly good girl.

If you can share a close up of a couple nodes at the bases of branches I or someone else here might be able to help identify. Herming can also happen in early flowering for either genetic or environmental reasons and that's a whole other decision fork in the road.

This is the base

You know its a male when it has balls hanging from its trailer hitch.

So I have an update as I’ve let it run it’s grow as someone on another site said to remove the balls as it may be a hermaphrodite. What are people thoughts

yeah you can pluck the balls and hope for best, they usually stop to show past flowering stretch depending how severe your plant hermied.

on a side note pollinated weed isn't the end of the world either.

nutes are a little hot causing the leaves to twist. Try pulling back a bit and see what happens

My vote is to remove the balls and let it grow.

Thought I would post a little update as I let it run and I’m glad I did
