If a plant goes Hermie, do the male parts have long silvery hairs?

Just two plants, grown from feminized seed. Indoors. One month since flip to flower.

I was looking them over this morning, and freaked out when I saw little tear-drop shaped structures at numerous leaf branches and tucked up close to the tops. All of the structures had long silvery hairs sticking out.

I thought both plants had hermie'd on me. Plucked a hundred of the little buggers off before going online and searching. Google seems to indicate that male parts produced by hermie plants don't have the long hairs.

omfg, just read the part about plucking them all off.. never, never, never, never do anything rash to your plants like that before getting a second and third and forth opinion on it..
sadly, even though they weren't hermies before, they might be now from all the undo stress.. :(

I have had an entire hydro season go herm.Now what I did to fix it was completely do my best at cutting every "Balls" that you could find. It added to an already 40+ hour week to be like 50/60. It came out to be very good quality. Yes seeds were still found. We did Quality checked every bud and pulled our seeds. I was able to sell it for the same price I wanted. Just added more hours but I got a bunch of seeds.
Yes I have grown 3 Other seasons. Yes each seasons hermed and each seasons came out the way I wanted it to. Just adds more hours.

i completely agree.. i don't know how many threads i see every day, omfg, have my plants hermied on me? then they put up pix of a perfectly normal plant, nothing at all wrong with it..
i can understand being paradnoid, but ime,hermies aren't as common as a lot of people seem to think they are, knock on wood of course..
and if you do think something weird is going on with your plants, post some pix and get some advice, and here's the big part, before you do anything drastic to your plants..
