pics are too blurry for me to identify any balls, what kind of lighting are you using? and how far away is the light also what nutes are you giving it and what strain? it could be a lot of different things

400 watt hps , this is my tallest plant so ive had to keep it very close to the light or my other shorter plants wouldnt get any, about 4 inches away , its , California skunk , its 95 % Sativa , my only concern is why non of the others look like this , I dont really see any balls either and about 20% of the hairs have turn red now

probably because its a pure sativa, its not going to give tight buds like an indica how far in to flowering are you?

by looking at the buds you still have atleast 4 - 6 weeks to go so it will probably fatten up much more

been flowering 5 weeks now , i just looked real close at it and it appears there may be small pods with red hairs coming out , would that mean hermie?

no, those small things with red hairs coming out are calyxes i personally cant see any pods, if its 95% sativa flowering time is probably closer to 10-12 weeks, meaning you have 5-7 weeks to go, and alot more fattenning up of buds to happen, i wouldnt worry, your real early in, most of the weight goes in at the end, they are gonna get bigger, sativas flower late, i wouldnt worry.. just let her grow.. also check the faqs and make some homemade co2, and add mollassess once a week, that will definatley aide in your final weight..

nice I guess im just buggin out because she looks so diff then the others, calyxs huh good i thought they were pods that had opened and thats why they had red hairs comin out , I took her out of the closet guess I should put her back , Some one told me once that the pods could be hidden in the bud , but would I be able to deff tell , i have been lookin at all the pics I can find of male pods and I dont seem to have anything that resembles it

Looks very normal for a sativia plant. We found one that was near 12' tall one time. We tried "yanking" a limb off "for testing" and discovered why it makes really good rope; you can't break off a limb from these.
