Hey guys first off I want to say thanks for everything so far. I've been lurking for a couple months now and the information I've found between Ed Rosenthal's book, YouTube, and here has helped me a lot with my first set of ladies. They are currently on Day 28 of flower and coming along nicely.

A couple months back while I was getting everything set up I remembered I had 4 seeds I found in a half zip of Master Kush I got from a dispensery. I planted them along with 2 seeds from a bag of Headband I had stored also. I was thinking of it as more of an experiment than anything because my first 2 plants I received as clones and had never germinated a seed. Well they took off and eventually got transplanted into 1gal pots for sexing. I keep them in my 4x4 veg tent. I have a 4 foot 6 tube T5 fixture for light.

They keep growing and things are getting crowded. I'd like to make a decision on which ones to keep so I can make a decision on their future. I can't flower yet due to space restrictions. I'd like to just clone my favorite out of the 4 and toss the rest, but I feel like that's a waste of a plant. There is a good chance that the three that aren't my favorite are hermies or males anyways. Can you guys help me decide? I know that these plants for sure have calyxes and pistils on them but I'm not certain that they don't have male flowers. Photos are of the same plant.

I think he was wondering if pic 1 was a male flower, because it seems to be opening up some but there are no pistils visible.

Edit - im wondering if somehow from the looks of that pic if its not a new growth shoot starting, seems a bit late for that and it would seem at day 28 of 12/12 it should be clear..... i wonder if more info of sone sort is not needed here

This is what I meant by my poll. No need to be a smart ass mnbvcxza, but I guess I can't say I'm surprised.

These aren't the plants on day 28. These are still 18/6

he will fail, all newbies do :)
Haters gonna hate, but trust me I did extensive research before ever diving in, and I never plan to stop learning. To those that gave me a straight answer thanks. I just couldn't believe all the seeds turned out fem. I'll post photos tonight of my plants in flower for the haters. One is Kosher Kush and one Blue Dream.

Pretty sure its female, just keep an eye on it...as far as hermie goes , with enough stresses and such it could show hermie 3 weeks before harvest time.... always keep your eyes out.....best way to tell male is balls....just like yours and mine (well almost, they will be hopefully alot smaller) at the base of the flower/preflower
