Are these white widow autos males?

Hey all, have some WW auto and ZK auto from ilgm.
These plants do have a set of pistils higher up, but I’m concerned with these? I got the best pictures I could. It’s week 5 and may be to early to tell, but I’d hate to lose my other 3 plants to some hermies (maybe?)
Any input would be helpful!



I hope these uploaded correctly. If not I’ll try and get better ones.
I’m looking at the growth around the nodes and wondering if that’s male pre-flower?

all I see is the split node at the branch and not the sacks so I say this is female

It sure looks suspiciously male but don’t jump the gun. I just had a female reg who produced the most bizarre, sack-like formations before the pistils shot out. Even the breeder who made the seeds was confused - said to give it a week and see what happened.




Ended up all female

Edit to say - keep a very close eye on them all the same. If they continue to be male parts, you can snip them off.

Too early to tell. It should show withing the next week or 2. Expect them to be female if you’ve bought feminized seed. It happens, but not very often.

Thank you everyone. My plan was to wait a week or so. They are showing a couple white hairs on the same one with these mystery ball things. This morning I was super close to snipping them.
I’ll keep a close eye. I appreciate the feedback! (They are autos so I just assumed they are femanized)

Autos can be regular or feminized. Did you buy them?

I hope so. I just haven’t seen odd growth like I have very often. Not bashing ilgm, they’ve been great to me. Just didn’t want to have a male and have to restart a whole tent
