**Question from a fellow grower!** I purchased some white widow feminized seeds from you and I’ve got 1 plant that looks like this. Is that male seed? Thanks Sean ![herm](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/3/7/e/37e1b204052a70667ab36226b367511a10f8d242.jpeg) ---

Yup a male…no ifs, ands or butts. Its not a male seed. Something went seriously wrong. Need more information so we can see what went wrong. Luckily none seem to be open which is great news. ---

This thread is both heartbreaking and funny which makes me feel bad because it really must be a blow for OP I guess we roll the dice every time we plant a seed so don’t let it get you down and get back in the saddle and drop another bean or two And I really do feel bad that this grow went sideways I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop on my grow and have it die on me or get balls
