Don't know if we can rightly use the terms "him" or "her" in this case. But that plant is definitely working on producing pollen at this very moment.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into this discussion see the following post

In my case it turned out that my plants did not hermi or were not males but were in fact females. They were just ovaries, which look a lot like balls. It's hard to tell for sure but the third picture down in your first post looks to me like it's a male along with the picture in post #10.

oooooh god no! don't tell me that now....my stomach hit the floor when i read your post since i had JUST got done chopping them both into tiny little pieces when i opened the email and read your post...lol

I gotta agree with tiktok about the swolen calyx's popping at a node. I wouldn't call the ones in the second round of pics balls just yet.

@ducedub22
Yeah no need to panic in your situation, you could have waited until it was more obvious to decide the plants sex. I am assuming you don't have any plants in full on flower yet so its not like a male would have caused any harm in such an early stage of the game. However pollen can hang around your grow room but only for a few days. Next time just wait a little while longer. Besides you could utilize your males and collect some pollen to selectively pollinate a few buds for your own seed collection. Some people around here use male chambers for pollen collection, look it up.

 

[Maj.Cottonmouth]

I have seen swollen calyx but not multiple at the same spot, just a newb but I think it was a male.

possibly more a feminine boy than a hermie,,
