100% definitely male flowers. You have a "hermaphrodite", no doubt about it. You can either try and pluck ALL the male flowers off as they appear or scrap the plant. Personally, as hard as it is, I kill them.

Looks like male 😒 Male plants don't produce the desired buds that female plants do. Their primary purpose is to produce pollen for fertilizing female plants, leading to seed production. Since most growers are interested in producing seedless buds (sinsemilla), male plants are typically removed from the grow area to prevent pollination. Here's what you can do: Consider Breeding: If you're interested in breeding your own cannabis strains, you could keep the male plant in a separate space to collect its pollen for selective breeding purposes. However, this requires careful planning and knowledge of breeding techniques. Monitor for Pollen: Even after removing the male plant, keep an eye out for any signs of pollen sacs that may have opened. Pollen can still be present in the air and could potentially pollinate your female plants if not properly managed. Consider Future Seed Purchases: To avoid the issue of male plants altogether, consider purchasing feminized seeds for future grows. Feminized seeds have been selectively bred to produce only female plants, ensuring that you'll have a higher chance of growing a crop of bud-producing plants.

I have grown males that have had pistils before, they are "pistillated males", but still males. I will post some pictures soon.

The one with the pistil coming out of it shouldn't be a pollen sack, but the 2 closer to the stem I'm unsure if they are or not. Keep your eye on them and the rest of the plant for a few more days and if you think they are balls post again with quite a few pictures at different angles.

If they are pollen sacs. If they are just the ones visible in the photo, you can extract them and wait a bit longer; sometimes a few come out and the plant continues its cycle. Be careful and keep a close eye because if they get out of control, they can pollinate all the plants in the grow room.

I am gonna say no based on the one has a pistil comming out of it. The pollen sacs males makes has a stem, and won't shoot pistils out of it.
