bit of confusion about my plant and males vs hermies

I always believed my plant would grow up to be a beautiful "Mary" to get me blazzeed :eyesmoke: but after a bit of 12/12 "she's" grown those green pollen sacks and is more resembling a "Mark" , i cut off most of them just now but I'm wondering, What're the chances its a hermie? How could I determine this over male? This is my first plant, I've got another in the growbox with it but it's been 12/12 from seed and is half the age of this one. So if it is a hermie over male, would you grow it?

a hermie will have both sets of sex showing, meaning the white hairs, the beginning of female flowers, and balls, the male parts.. the balls look like a small bunch of bananas as they get bigger, or start out as a small lil round ball looking thing.. males and females can be a lil hard to tell at first, but with a female, the white hairs will grow out of what once looked like a small ball.. dudes don't get hairs and develop into a much more ball looking thing that you won't mistake as balls..
i wouldn't keep growing a hermie, i would pull it and start over again.. but make sure of the sex before you take that action..

Pics? Do you see any hairs or just pollen sacs?
From what you say it sounds like a male not a hermie

Yeah, I'm sure there will be more tomorrow. thats one thing thats amazed me about growing bud, how quickly it can actually grow sometimes. I'll try to get a pic up soon. Possibly tomorrow. Can't get into the stealth box with people around ehh..

good move. Pollen is not something to mess around with. just a little bit and you've got seeds and wasted time. From my experience, if it goes hermie, get it out of the room immediately.
