Just been advised that my plant is a hermaphrodite as it’s growing both female and male details. Is there any bud outcome with hermaphrodites or any suggestions? Or is it rubbish now, indoor grow by the way. Thanks
Hermaphrodite what to do?

Only have the one plant in this space now due to realising it growing like this, there’s not many balls I can see as in the photos. If i pull these off will I be Allgood or is it too far from saving? Cheers

Look like calyxes, you will have to point out where the balls are

Hard to see but it seems there are balls forming on the main steam where the side branches come off, really confused as it looks female then again the way it’s growing and loooking just doesn’t seem right

Then at the top of the plant it looks as if some balls are forming off the bud itself, I really just have no clue. Hope this helps someone show me in the right direction of what I have

Pluck those balls off and keep it growing. I can see them, they're very stalky. But perhaps work out why she has hermed?

That’s not a hermaphrodite. You’ve been led astray. Don’t waste a perfectly good plant.

I see no balls, only calyxes. I think folks have been avoiding male flowers so long that they don’t remember what they look like anymore.
These are male flowers:
The shape is quite distinguishable from a calyx, as they look a lot more like the traditional flowers we see on other plants.

Can you give any explanation for the brown hairs coming out of those balls on the main steam? That’s whats making me think male and the way that the flowers seem to be growing. Happy as if it does indeed turn out to be a female, just never seen one grow like this before

Can't lie those flowers do look kinda funky. Those pistils are sooo stretched... and the leafage is a little odd looking coming off the stalk. It's not an auto right?
Those are calyx on the node intersections.. but... shouldn't those pistils be white? why brown so soon.... that plant looks like it's in the 2nd week of flower. Beginning of the 2nd week at that. I'm stumped.

If they were male you’d see the beginnings of petals, which I don’t see here. It is odd how far the calyxes stick out but that may just be a particularity of this genetic mix. The pistils are brown because they’re no longer viable, that’s not a sign of a male, either.
See how you can see petals forming on the male flowers? In a few days, those will open up to become tiny little flowers with stamens sticking out of the middle that release pollen.

Thank you all for that, I have my other plant here aswell that I’m almost certain is a male with how it’s growing and whats forming on the plant. Can anyone give me a definite answer as yet again I’m still not 100% sure
