It is easy to confuse a swollen calyx with male parts ... the human concept of balls gets in the way.
Advice please

You are not risking pollination until they develop out into flowers... give them some time so we can see.
when you think of calyx, think of the human womb. It is where the seed would grow, if pollinated.

you should determine if the structure is rooted down to the main stem... if it is firmly attached at the base it is most likely a female caylx, but if it is instead up on a stalk and not attached, that is a male preflower. They will develop into clusters of similar structures, where with a female part there will only be the one.
Hi Xiws - I think these are what folks call “nanners”. These are potentially pollen producing sacs that emerge from female calyxes. (Often cause by light stress during flower - and some strains are known to be more prone to them)
Many consider that this is not hermaphroditism as such. A hermy has both female and male flowers - nanners are male bits in female flowers. Nanners are often sterile, so unwanted seeds may not be a problem (they can be fertile tho). And Emmie is right that any plant grown from the seed might be prone to throw nanners as well - however with nanners this is maybe less certain than with full hermaphroditism.
So - I dont think it is a hermy. Pluck the nanners off as you find them (like you are) and it should finish up just fine for you

Ya they are on the main stems at any location there is only 1 but bud other other side may have one, no clusters and they have trichomes on them was told males dont.

Hermaphroditism in cannabis is not a desirable trait! Good for nothing really.

I have only had one, and I tossed it in the compost pile. Make sure first though...

I dont know because i am not looking at the thing myself so it’s impossible to be certain enough. So I cant make that call.

if you keep removing every attempt the plant makes at trying to express its sexuality, it is likely to hermi on you simply because of what YOU are doing. Those structures are not going to hurt a thing until they finally pop open with flowers... and you are going to catch them way before that happens. Just leave things alone for a few days and get a camera on it for us.

You could put her in a greenhouse i suppose if the temps in your area are high enough.
