Possible hermie from looking at the last picture. If you dont see a pistil pop out of it in a couple days, then its a herm.
Male preflowers hook over on the tip, like an overbite. Females stay pointy like a tear drop.

So is it a hermie?? There are a few of these everywhere... If I opened them up there are little white hairs inside... I'm still not sure if this is a male flower or not?
Jesus christ. How many people have to tell you that it's a female. Females have calyxes and pistils come out .... in fact you will get tons of them as the plant grows.

That does appear to be a male pollen sack. Doesnt have the typical tear drop shape, nor is it developing trichomes like the rest of your plant is doing.
I have found that the single preflowers that form at the base of the node, usually frost up and mature much quicker then the actual buds. In fact, you can pollinate those single pistillate primordia, long before the rest of plant has even formed flowers, and end up with a single seed or two at each node, while the rest of the flowers are un-seeded. The point I'm getting at, if that male pre-flower was female it would've shot out hairs long before that little bud started to form.
Verdict: Herm

That would make it a hermie but the male traits are not strong enough in the plant for it to produce pollen. Still a nanner, still a hermie, but as long as you don't start to see pollen start flying out everywhere. (Which I think is very possible as the plant grows more of them) continue to grow it out... I have seen this happen before in some of my breeding runs. I use colloidal silver to produce feminized seeds and sometimes I do get male pollen sacs that open and everything but do not contain any pollen.

The difference beeing I have never seen pistils coming out of my forced male flowers...
