So do colas look like balls on females when the star growing? IF it has hairy top and little balls no bananas is it a girl? Or is that a hermie?

my guess would be 1 Male, 2 male, 3 hermie, 4 unknown. just a guess, can anybody confirm?
number 4 is the female and i think i have a hermie.. they look like females but have some ball sacs

i cut away 4 of my plants... now i only have 2 on a 600 hps light doing aero grow like stink buds. only he has 2 pvc fence post on 1 18 gal rubbermaid with 1 pump, i have 3 pvc fence post on 1 18 gal rubber maid. works great i think. and i have em all spaced 8 inches apart from point to point. the plants are about 2.5 feet tall each and i have lst them i think (bending the stem)

I'm still pretty new to this myself but from what I can see.

Pic 1, 2 & 3 are male and pic 4 is unknown.

could you get a closer pic of pic 4 plz mate
 
if my plant turns out to be a hermaphrodite, should i snip the pollen sacks off of the plant to keep the plant from producing too many seeds and not enough THC?? or would that hurt the plant??

to tell the difference VERY SIMPLE, take a clone and find out that way or, put to 12 /12 after atleast a foot tall prolly bigger... After , sometimes less then weak lil white hairs will appear at the top only at first , about the first 2-3 stocks down. now i hope im right but what i hear is after u spot white hair put it back to 18-6 so it will get bigger, then you can clone and when u want to bud u just change back to 12/12... i hear if you change back it takes longer to bud again, but probably worth it... like i said im medical and doing my first crop, half time outdoors and then rest with fan and 4 40 watt florecent bulbs

Not sure how your plants are going to like going from nice sunshine of the outdoors to inside 40 watt bulbs...

does the second theory hold any truth to it becuse it would be way easier for me to try that way then bullshit with clones if you could please respond to this asap it would really help thanks man

Had what looked like all female plants, now two look like they have pollen sacks developing 6 weeks into only at the very top of the plants, could be from a few recent power outages and irregular light schedule? hate to waste two pretty developed plants, they are next to one female that isn't showing and signs of pollen sacks, can i pluck them off or will I end up with a seeded crop?
