Hello, noob here, question about my 1st grow, see pic with red arrows

[HeyMoe]

This is my 1st attempt to grow,,,ever. With that said I'd like to thank everyone for creating such a wealth of information, ideas and a friendly environment. I started learning because I was told cannabis could help w/ migraines, so I'm wiling to try anything. I did a poor job documenting my progress but will try to give you a timeline of what I did/used. Then post 2 pics & finally a question. Any comments that could help are of course welcome.

2x4x6 grow tent
Russian Haze auto
* after germination it popped up on 1/21, remained in germ. Tray w/ lid. Heat mat under T5 over 24/0.

*1/3over to 5gal aero fabric pop, 60% fox farms, remainder perlite, coco, under600wled 18/6. I know I prob moved to quick & some will wonder why jump from small container to large, but (right/wrong) I was to understand each moves creates stress and slows growth & when using autos the clock is running.
My question is what are the balls? too early in grow to show sex right? I know it prob sounds like a stupid question but ive never laid eyes on an actual plant only pics.

Thanks guys

Maybe @Old Salt can answer that like I said my 1st male auto and I have some one else @InTheShed .

You could collect the pollen from him and then when you buy a female auto you can pollinate one branch and get a bunch of auto regular seeds.

 

[InTheShed]

Here are some links on collecting pollen and how to pollinate your flowers selectively. The male needs to be completely isolated unless you want more seeds than smokeable bud. These are from beez0404's seedmaking thread:

As long as he is the only male you're safe. Just do your pollinating where he is and don't take the pollen to her. Trust me it flies all over the place.

Autoflower seeds are supposed to be female (unless you specifically bought regular ones). If you were buying fems, contact the seller and let them know. They should replace them.

Thanks Both of You

Thanks all, I'll read up & maybe pull a rabbit out of my huh hat . I really apreaciate it!!

Keep the pictures that you sent to the Forum and provide them to your seed supplier. I've had my seed supplier replace all of my seeds because of non germination issues. I can't imagine that they wouldn't send you a brand new pack, maybe with some bonuses because of what you are experiencing.
Out of curiosity, where did the seeds come from?

Others will give you credit for seed that don't germinate.

420 replaced mine for failure to germinate but I needed to send the bad ones back to Europe.

This is 100% a male or at the very least a hermaphrodite, if you have other girls and you don't wan't seeds kill it.

 

[HeyMoe]

Full disclosure, I went back & looked at actual invoice and it said Russian Haze auto regular seeds., not fem. Hesitant to name supplier but it looks like some senior members have so I assume it's acceptable. So to answer Guy Cavelleros question, it was seedsman. I've sent an email with picture. But I'm not expecting anything, disappointed yes, but they did specifically say regular seeds. Hey, I really appreciate everyone's help and suggestons. It's a nice change to be in a pleasant atmosphere. I'm a techie and some of those guys on those forums can get brutal. I keep telling my mom to be nicer but,,,

 

[InTheShed]

Regs is regs. Nothing to be done but figure out how to harvest pollen and pollinate, and never have to buy Russian Haze seeds again!

 

[HeyMoe]

Ok, the other Russian Haze auto I started on1/21. The 2nd was a bit smaller than the pic I previously posted &!the 3rd even smaller. I get up this morning & notice what appears to be ball on #2. I’ve read stress can cause a change but their environment has been pretty stable. So I guess just chalk it up to me being on the wrong side of percentages. Gonna keep my eye on #3. Sadly, I’ve got 2 more that I started roughly 2 weeks after the original 3. Maybe pessimism but I have a bad feeling I’m gonna end up w/ 5 makes. Think I just received my 1st lesson, stick w/ fem.

 

[Old Salt]

Sticking to feminized seed for your first few grows is a good idea. I still stick to feminized seed. If I want to get more, I can always do a sex reversal on one branch to get pollen.

still tempted to do this even with my norm seeds cause I want to save my clones genetics... it's going to take a while to clone and treat them though... wish my dispense sold male clones lol

 

[InTheShed]

I hope those seeds were cheap!
