oh yeah, homegrown was looked at as worse than tire weed from across the border. i remember my first $10 bag was huge too! the mid 80's bought my first $10 tiny bag, i was so sad....
you can remove all that unwanted growth, more energy and nutes will go to remaining material. i do this at times, just feels like wasted energy on tiny unwanted twigs.
look at it like its the head.... heads up. is that what you are asking?

that tentacle thing is a tap root....that points down. it will lift the seed shell out of the ground when growing. upside down will find its way but may take longer.

you can pull the balls off but do it before they open, good chance they wont come back. at least from my experience with herm.
pull the balls off before they open.... if you get to them in time they wont pollinate your female. or separate it from the female, it will ruin your harv.
