What gives you the idea this is a male? I don’t see anything that stands out as pollen sacks in the pic you posted. You want to look where the branch meets the stem. This might help ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/e/a/ceada8a7d3d4987edd88b643ff4e6f0930b74b74.png) ---

Yup, looks like a girl. I know I’m getting old, but I can’t see any balls. The question remains, what makes you feel it’s a boy? ---

I guess I’m glad everyone else thought it was a female too. Totally fooled me and I thought I knew what to look for. About 2 weeks after I switched to 12/12 I looked and found the entire future bud sites all covered with pollen sacks everywhere. Some had even broken open and powder was all over some of the leaves. My other plant was a female and on the other side of the room. One was a Sativa and one Indica. Crazy days! 😂 ![boy 1.PNG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/5/b/15b248cebd0f88934356b0a40fc7e79867ea8a0f.jpeg) ![boy 3.PNG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/8/4/e8425262179bc60e34c5a219a5bd8aaee0a6b721.jpeg) ---

Expect a lot of seeds on the other plants. They need at least 6 weeks for them to become mature while on the plant. And that is a BIG big for sure. Wowza…😔😔😔 ---

Male plant for sure. I would definitely toss and clean grow space thoroughly. ---
