No evidence of hermaphroditism in the pictures you posted that I can see, only older female calyxes - primordia/pre-flowers. Seeds produce by hermaphrodites will all be hermaphrodites, due to the hermie genetic being dominant, and the seeds will definitely not be 50% feminised. If you are keen, in week 7 of my diary "cannabis conundrums", I have posted pictures of hermaphrodite flowers as well as many other interesting and weird things cannabis is capable of doing. These pictures may help you understand what is going on with your plant. A seeded hermie or female plant will virtually stop producing trichomes and be an inferior smoke, as the function of the trichomes, which contain THC, is to protect the unpollinated embryonic seed from over heating (through light refraction). Once pollinated there is no need to protect anything, therefore trichome (and THC) production practically ceases. (Just thought I would clear up some misinformation given by others) Hope this helps, Organoman.

Yes, it is a hermie, but that's not a problem. Don't read all stupid things. It will not affect thc level and you'll have your own healthy seeds(50% + females for sure)

Take a pair of tweezers pull one off see if there is a seed inside if there is then I would start looking for the culprit if not your good to go..

No, it's a very nice and healthy girl, which will bring you loads of fun. Places you check are good, but you don't have any sacks forming, it can happy at any stage, so keep a eye on it through all grow cycle. Happy Growing !

Hi @septooth, dont worry buddy all looks fine. Those pod like things are Calyx's and usually the more the better. Buds/flowers are basically many calyx stacked on top of each other. Some strains have big ones like your grow but it can vary plant to plant. I also think they control some plant hormones as well. Im defo no expert but Im sure you dont have a hermi problem. Maybe wait and one of the others will confirm this for you. Hope this helps mate, SMF 🙏 🙏 🙏
