Those are calyxes, same things that plump up around pistils that make up buds.
You know it's a female if it has the whispy white projection. They'll show in vege, if given enough time.
I wouldn't recommend doing this, but when those things are all plump and crystalized, they'd pack a good bowl for sure long before any buds are ripe in bloom. (not vege).. don't mutilate your plant like that in bloom, but it would be stoney.
