What kind of light schedule do you have it under? I would almost bet the farm that it's a male though.

That is all good. Just was curious. Keep a close eye on that plant. If he is a male, he can ruin your other plants when they start flowering too.

Those look like the start of nutsacks to me also. Pollen! I started some Bruce Banner #3 photos, turned out to be autos, the male popped way sooner than the female, so I cloned it! Now I have second round of male nuts to shake over my well established female. My own auto seeds woohoo!
P.S. I know you can't "clone" a auto but the male cutting I took had no problems spitting out new nuts for me in quick fashion. I have some female cuttings that are probably going on 18 inches now, will be fun to see how far they finish! CHeers mate, gl to your grow!

Are male plants good for anything or do you just have to kill them?

I wouldn't throw it out just yet. It's an Auto-Flower .... Right? I've never heard of a Regular Auto Flower Seed .... Only Feminized Auto Seeds. They might exists ... I really don't know.
Your plant has not actually developed Ball Sacks yet so nothing to worry about at this point. Wait till you are sure it's male before throwing it out. Until the seed pods open & spread pollen There's not a lot to worry about. You'll be able to tell for sure in a week or so.
Just remember, No Topping Auto's after day 21. LST all you want but don't top.
I'm not convinced it's a male at this point. It could be; but I doubt it being an Auto.

They're good if you want to cross breed or you want free seeds. I wonder if you can do anything else with them. Hey @Chris Scorpio I'm sure you'll know. Care to enlighten us ?Are male plants good for anything or do you just have to kill them?

THey do exist. I got some Bruce Banner #3's from new420guy (a sponsor) as a replacement, they turned out to be autos (not marked that way), I had a male spitting nutsacks in 18/6 by the time that thing was a foot high. I actually took cuttings and rooted one, it's about 8 inches tall and yep...full of nutsacks! The female (still in 18/6) is turning into a monster (I hope), I took the second male and pollinated her! Outcome should be regular autoflower seeds. Can't guarantee, but we'll know soon enough!
Doesn't make sense that a breeder would go through the trouble of breeding a Ruderail with another type of weed to make an Auto Flower & not make them feminized too.
Now if a Female Hermied & you got seeds from that I can see it having seeds with the Hermie Trait & therefore ending up with some hermied females & some that turn out Female.
I have no data to back this up. Just read that somewhere in the past. It does make sense though.

Hope @Chris Scorpio pops in soon. He knows all this shit.
