WTF? Did this female deicide to "play for the other team"?

Hey guys!

I have been scouring the web for the past few days, wondering what the HELL is up with my plant!

I have had them for almost 2 and a half months, its an outdoor setup, i have 6 along my garage, and the other 5 are doing great...they smell good up close, starting to get the white hairs, have the little pistils, etc... I have no idea how long into flowering they are however, sorry :( I would say around 5 days

My biggest one, however, has started to get these "seed pod" looking things,right where the buds would grow, even though it has pistils running up the main stalk. I thought maybe it was going male, but then i figured i would have found out earlier than this! The damn plant is over 5 ft tall!
Also, within the last day or so, the "seedpods" look like there is a hair starting to protrude from them, but i can't really tell.

I don't really have the best camera, and this is my first time growing.

All are clones from a northern lights mother, i believe. I need some help, because this baby looked as though she would yield at LEAST a pound.

That looks straight male...I can't see any signs of ever BEING female..your pic's are blurry too.... sorry dude..that does suck..
 
i know the pics are blurry lol...i get pissed when i have to break out the ol shiddy camera.

When this thing was about half the height, it grew the little "hairs" (i guess pistils???) running up the main stalk from where the branches meet it, and i thought that was the sign of it bieng female? Not one of the other plants are like this, so i don't know if its pollinating them or whatever. And these clusters don't really look like "grapes or bananas", like ive been seeing and reading, and they don't hang there...they are quite perky lol

Is there anything i can do with a male plant? like make hash out of it or something?

Those "hairs" are probably stipules, most plants have them.
 
you said they where clones ?
that is some heavy herrmming ..
did you stress her?
is she getting light flashes from cars or outside lights?
 
no light flashing, no stress, definately NO pollination...the other 5 which are all within 7 - 8 feet of this one all look KILLER!!! Covered in white hairs, nice little "baby buds", which grow a little larger each day.

Funny thing is is that of the other 5, 2 of those went through MAJOR stress, as we had a nice windy 3 or 4 weeks, and every day these 2 plants would get knocked down, sometimes for 12 hour periods, but they champed it out...this stupid one is in a big recycle bin, gets lots of light, i spray the leaves everyday with water, bla bla bla... It just popped out these little clusters about 4 days ago, and up until then, EVERY indicator pointed to female...Im wondering, will these little pods perhaps swell? I ripped a cluster off and checked, and there definitely is NOT seeds in them, just a very, VERY sticky liquid
 
ya i know...
just confused on how it happened

all my others are female...they were all cloned from the same mother, maybe a neighbour is growing as well , and i got cross-winded lol ;)

There aren't supposed to be seeds in male flowers, the sticky liquid was the pollen.
 
FUCK! well doesn't this suck!

I was under the impression that if it had these little things running up it, it was female...i read somewhere on this site that they grow upwards, looking for pollen...if it doesn't find any, it tells the plant its time to bud, instead of seed. Maybe i was too high and mis-read it, or maybe they were speaking of the little white fuzzies coming out of the bud...i don't know



anyways, the seedy looking things are starting to go purple, but i guess i got a male....should be alright though, more for next year, right?
