Hermies? Lots of white hairs 6+ weeks into flowering.

Im pretty sure I had a hermie my last grow, my question is have these hermied or am I just losing my marbles? There are a lot of bud sites that seem to have small new green growth on top, others even had seed pod like structures, most of which that I pulled off.

I have some Reverse coming in any day now, if it is a hermie I plan on lightly spraying them just to see if I can get them to focus on making bigger more potent buds instead of all these damn male parts. Worst comes to worst i've got enough bud to make a shit ton of oil.

Some of the calyxs have tons of white hairs coming out and some of the tops seem like they are just one giant pod that opened up. Any advice would be appreciated guys

white hairs are good hairs, at least in hermie land
if a pistil is white, usually it hasn't been fertilized
but you may have some seeds in there, hard to tell for sure, some plants just look that way

I see nothing wrong from the photos. If all of those "pods" have white hairs ( calyxxs ) coming out of them, great. If not, not so great.

It looks like it's just the calyx swelling up to me.

If they had been pollenated could that just be seed production from the tops? They are like little bulbs at the very top of my colas, I thought it looked like there were nanners inside but couldnt be sure.

maybee a sativaaaa

not unusual to have calyxes stack up on each other, some strains do that
most seem to think you're fine, the pollen is yellow which will usually show if there are male flowers around

Not sure how you make the connection between hermies and white pistils...

Could the odd leaf/bud growth be due to too much nitrogen? I use the KISS method with maxibloom and supplement with 1 tbs of blackstrap and a little bit of the fox farm solubles.

I was under the impression that only two hairs came out of each calyx, so when I saw 5+ I was concerned. Especially this late in flower. I am not sure on the exact finish time for this strain I'll have to ask the owner. Its from a 15 year old mother plant they've been running. Maybe it's prone to herm from being passed down so long?

Also any of the buds that I pulled the pod things off of seemed to stop growing vertically and have sort of a flat top
