Hermies? Males?

Hey, just flipped light schedule about 9 days ago. Starting to notice what looks like male parts. Bought fem seeds but obviously that guarantees nothing. Here's some pics. Could someone confirm if in fact i've got hermie plants and if so, what course of action should i take? I have 4 plants in a 4x4, but it looks like possible 2 of them are going hermie on me. I will include some pics.

If I don't want seeded bud, I guess I should chop the plants out eh? Had a power failure yesterday during the dark period. There was no air circulation in the tent when i finally got back to see what i could do. Opened the tent (plants were droopy) for about an hour and forty five minutes, (the duration of the outage), in a darker, but not completely dark room. Then i messed up when i went to reset my mechanical timer, was off by an hour and lights came back on an hour early. So, I shut lights off after 45 mins of them being on early, then on again when they were approximately close to correct on time. Temps got about 3 degrees lower than normal dark temps i had been running. I don't know, I guess all these things could have contributed? Anybody?
 
Could the power failure and the messing with the light times have caused it, or could it just be poor genetics? I've been buying seeds from different breeders, trying to get good seeds, but I don't really know who are good and who aren't.
 
I'm not sure that stress can produce an all-out male plant out of a "feminized" seed. I could be wrong about stress, but I would yank those plants and avoid using that breeders' crap.

They are dudes. No power failure is gonna make a female turn into a dude. :lol:

Ok, have to look back at where I ordered from, and see if that's a possibility. How long before I have pollen everywhere do you figure? Need to get some sleep to go to work in am.

I'm new and in the same boat. Shitty genetics with freak plants a few times. I order from Multiverse Beans and have been happy with all the breeders they carry and I,ve grown. Mephisto, Barneys Farm, Ethos, and Gnome Automatics are some of the ones that I have had great results with. Multiverse sent me freebies from Errors seeds that turned out dynamite. They sent me free "Top Gun" seeds from Atlas that finish in sixty days from sprouting. I should point out that I've only been growing Autos indoors. So there's my suggestions. I Love Getting Money got mine be careful.
 
Oh well, yep, live and learn. Sucks, but that's life. Forces me to incorporate some sort of sex testing for my plants. Teaches me that just because the breeder says they are fem seeds, I still have to investigate further. Thanks for the replies everyone. :)
