Are these seeds and therefore a male or a hermie plant?

If it's male what to do I do? It's besides 5 females and I'm flipping to flower today. Is the crop ruined

I think they're pollen sacks, which would mean it's a male. So far I've only used fem seeds, so never actually had to deal with a male. I'd imagine that since they're not flowering yet, it's not too late to remove it and avoid pollenating the females. That's just a guess, though.

That's definitely a male plant

It's a boy!

Either discard before it bursts or let it go and collect a lifetime of seeds. No wrong answer. Hell, I grew up smoking seeded weed.

Boys show sex early but why is it flowering if you haven't flipped yet?
Could it be an auto male?

Kill it or live with seeded weed, pretty simple choice.

That’s a boy. Remove it now. Looks like they haven’t opened up yet. It will be OK

OK so update: I thought my seeds were feminized but upon double checking they are standard seeds. Whoops.

I removed it as carefully as possible. Burst a pollen sac or 2. Wiped down as many surfaces as possible with wipes I bought from hydrobuilder.

Great learning experience! Stressful tho. Anyways, since I haven't flipped to flower yet, should I delay that? To let the pollen die more beforehand? Thanks for any help. First grow

I have no idea why it's showing so early. It was a long veg and I was about to flip, changed nutrients yesterday to flower version, maybe somehow relevant... according to the seed bank though they shouldn't be autos. And the females only have pre flowers so far

Nutrient change has nothing to do with it. Remove the male and carry on regardless.

I recently pushed the light schedule forward 4 hours one day, and then again by 4 hours a few days later, each time tho using extra long days to make the change, no increase to dark. Idk it's a mystery I'm new

Oh I have theory. I had a surge protector floating directly next to that plant which has a tiny light on the power switch. I removed it a week ago. Perhaps that small light being removed from the night cycle was enough of a change to make plant switch phases

Unlikely that it would only affect one plant. Males often show sex before females. I wouldn’t worry too much about the pollen, you might get a seed or two, if you do they will be on the pre-flowers, no big deal.

apparently pollen does when mixed with water, you could get the hose and spray water. If you can control the humidity with lots of air flow.

Save some pollen in the fridge and polinate a few branches later you could get great seeds

Kill it
Mist the area with plain water
Carry on
In the future remove the plant at first signs of being manly
