Can someone please tell me is this hermie? Never seen posts of hermie with hairs coming out. Also should I remove this cluster from the plant?

Re: Week 4 flowering help.
My friend I hate to say it but it might be a Hermie... Those are sacks with white hairs. I'm sorry my friend. I know the pain I had 8 plants growing and when I got to flowering two of them were males... It was a bad day for me... Hopefully she's not your only one.

Must be a hermie if both balls and pistils are present. Sorry mate. I'd just toss it out since I see balls at multiple nodes, making me think the whole plant is hermie

Re: Week 4 flowering help.
You can still grow it.
You can remove the pollen sacs (The things with white/brown hairs you want to keep)
But If you miss any pollen sacs, you'll risk fertilizing all the plants in the area. So there's a risk here to consider before making your decision.

Re: Week 4 flowering help.
OK that's What I've been doing.I check it on a daily. I have 3 more going (female) but as long as I'm on top of the sacks on that one I should be OK then?

You just have to determine whether or not it's worth the risk. Personally, I'd cut the plant as it would outweigh the negatives of pollinating even some of the bud. You MAY stay on top of it, but the plants look fairly large, so you may miss one or two...
Re: Week 4 flowering help.
If you get all the pollen sacs before they burst, you'll be ok.
But if you miss just 1 pollen sac, it can lead to fertilizing your entire grow. It's a slippery slope because missing 1 can cause a lot of hassle with seeds.
This is a process that will be ongoing, each day you'll need to look over the entire plant and remove pollen sacs.
At the same time, I would suggest looking over all your other plants too. Usually light leaks are the biggest cause of a hermy, and if you got one, there could be a chance of getting another.
And of course, in that same breath, I would suggest making sure that absolutely no light can get into your grow area when it's supposed to be dark.

Re: Week 4 flowering help.
Those balls with pistils definitely say Hermie to me. Agree with Stealthboat, toss the whole thing...

Re: Week 4 flowering help.
If you miss even one, then you risk pollination when it drops, and with fans, even one ball surviving to drop can mess sh&t up. Just Saying.

My hermie isn't as dominate as the one in your pics.
I see 3 balls on both pics, they seem the same to me.
Denial is the first step in recognizing you have a hermie

You're talking about Rodelization, in which case you may actually be passing on stronger Herm genetics to the plant. Usually this is the case with plants that are nearing the mid-end of their life cycle and determine they are not pollinated, so they herm on you. It is a crapshoot to hope for all feminized seeds from a herm, more likely you are passing the genetics through....There is a good piece that looks at Feminization from a couple of perspectives, including colloidal silver...Personally, we work from seeds only when breeding and going for a new strain in the line-up or cross breeding...from the chosen we take mothers, clones, etc...
