Your girl has gotten ahold of pollen from somewhere check your lower branches Really well. How old is she? Fem or reg? Breeder or bag seed? All this will have an impact on "herming". in that one little bud i didn't see any sacs so they would either have to be elsewhere on the plant or someone else is pollinating somewhere around you. Pollen can travel for miles and you may have brought some in on your clothes.

They are the individual flowers that make up a bud. Each one wants to be a seed and they swell up to a degree during ripening regardless.
What does intersex expression mean? Also I've looked at other people's posts and they too have orange hairs at the same stage mate

Intersex expression is the forming of pollen sacs on a female plant. I abhor the term "herming". Most intersex expression is stress induced, be it light leaks, night cycle interruption, drought, insect and so many more possibilities. True genetic hermaphroditism is quite rare and what most people run into is premature rodelization.
I can go more into rodelization but, I'm starting to sound like a textbook, my apologies. Do a bud to bud search of the entire grow looking for male flowers if the haven't opened they'll be rounded at the tip and have a little stalk at the base. If they have opened there'll be a little star like flower with what looks like a tiny cluster of bananas in the center. These are active pollinators.

Okay mate lights are off so I will check first thing tomorrow and take some more pictures and then you can see what you think, I have pulled a couple of them off and nothing has been in side thankfully and to be honest the pictures I have taken are the worst plant the others hardly have any of them and also the hairs are still nice and white

Stop worrying... Growing the plant to completion is more important than anything else.
If it is a herm, would you chop it with as much time as you have invested over the potential for some seeds?.... i would not.
I do toss early herms, but dont bother midway through flower. Just a personal grow here

Out of curiosity, how did they finish?
One of mine is oranging early and still throwing white hairs. I suspect either my last spray of
Neem or the peppermint spray I regularly use.

Lol sorry. I meant if his hermed, was pollinated, or other effects. I am running a different strain but Im showing orange earlier than I should. Im under the impression its due to my PM.
