This is my first grow and I topped a couple of my plants, but I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correctly. I also switched it to 12/12 within about a week of topping. This is week 7 of flower.
plant doesnt look good at all...tough to tell. do u see balls?? they look like balls really..seed pods.
You can't tell by the flowers. Their would be stamen on the intersection of the branches. Basically little curvy thread with actual balls which are the pollen pods. After seven weeks if you have a hermi i wouldn't doubt that some would get pollenated. It's very sad to get a hermi and not see it. It can ruin a whole season.
Can you take another picture from a side view? If you can get a good close up of a node below the tops that should be more definitive.
Jesus my friend what have you done to your poor cannabis plant! Light bleach? heat stress? Doesn't look to healthy :/ Anyway, you can't tell by the bud, you have to look where male pollen sacs would form, the same place that a female preflower would show. If you can get pictures like the AP said, that would help us. But make sure they are clear, bright, and in focus. Too many times I see people put up blurry pictures, which don't help the forum because we can't see what we're truly looking at! Find a thread like yours with blurry pictures, your bound to see "need better pics, male, female, can't tell" etc! Lol
Looks under watered overheated and flushed (the yellow just looks like he's backing off the nutes). Just like he said tho... Can't see balls if you take pics of the flowers.
