Ok so 3 out of 5 of my plants about 2-3 weeks into flowering are showing clusters of balls. Yes they're balls not swollen calyxs. Theres too many and cant reach alot of them too pick them off so my question is will a plant being hermie affect yield significantly? Will I yield more if I keep all 5 plants or chop the 3 hermies and keep the 2 females? I'm not worried about having seedy bud. Not a big problem to me, I'd rather have more yield and deal with it.
Hermies!!!! Should I chop????

You'll still yield normally, it'll just be seeded bud. You know, the kind humans consumed for thousands of years before modern agriculture. 
Just don't grow those seeds and you'll be fine. You can play an active role in how seeded the buds are by removing every ball you can get to.
Clean your room with a mild bleach solution after you harvest.
Good luck.

A hermaphrodite at 2-3 weeks is garbage!!! This cut will never focus on resin and flower production, which is what you are looking for!! The natural state of cannabis is hermaphrodite...it's just the natural response to recreate itself before its life cycle is over. Some genetics are less stable and the affect is more prominent; like what you are seeing. Trash them immediately, clean your room, and move on with some good genetics that won't turn she-male on ya...
