Hard to tell from those pics. Middle pic shows some balls maybe, but need better pics to say for sure.

i'd say you got yourself a hermie there....i've heared you can just keep constant with removing those balls but i really dont know exactly how good the bud will be and if you end up missing one or 2 you'll end up with some inbred seeds

damn so basically the only thing i can do is try to pick all those little balls off and hope for the best. Ive been doing some research and some ppl say that the seeds will be female and some say that they will be hermy. I think im just going to leave it alone and see what happens because this is my first plant and i dont care too much. It sucks because I have been growing it for 3 months now and I was hoping to get some fire. Now i have to start the process all over again

Its a hermie. It will be smokable, but you will never get all the balls. They will grow back places where you cant find em. Like in your buds.

Move it away from any other plants you have or just get rid of it. Your choice.

keep up with the balls as best you can and youll prolly get some decent smoke from the plant. it does look like a hermie tho. i was thinking it was just a male but then i saw the little reaching strings. if it polinates itself it is a survival technique. the seeds are usually still viable and will still produce. just higher precentage for hermieing. was it a male or a female origianlly, did you see the balls or the hairs first

Well I went and picked off about 50 of the little ball things and a few of them had opened into star shaped things with little green things hanging (pollen?) i definitely cut those bitches off lol. but theres still about 200 small ones forming.

the first thing i saw was hairs when it was about 6 inches tall and now its 28 inches and i just noticed the balls within the last 2 weeks. You guys were right though now the balls are starting to form in the buds and not just from the nodes. Its wierd some of the balls open up and you can see the pollen and some that are in the buds open and instead of V-shaped hairs its V-shaped little yellow things, and some of the balls have hairs coming out of the middle, and some get wrinkly and dont do anything. I will post some pics soon of what i'm talking about.

Latest Pics......When i go to harvest, can I still smoke the buds with the pollen sacs in them or is that not a good idea. A lot of the buds are just loaded with these balls and i dont think i would be able to get them all out. Some of the balls have red hairs coming from them, what does this mean?
