Yes those are called Hermie's.
pluck all the balls off and keep a close eye out for more as you get further into the flowering cycle and pluck as you find them and you should be fine

No, if you are growing other plants that are female then get rid of the hermie because there is not much you can do with it.
I guess besides smoke it... hermies produce male and female flowers... aka buds and pollen sacs??? so why not pluck them off or use a reversal spray to take care of the sacs... personally I would like a lil pollen if I had the reversal spray and pollenate a female for a chance at more females and and hermies..then use more spray. Better than starting with male and female seeds (non unfeminized) then what do u do with all those males? dump em so there is a lot moe to do with a hermie than a male.
possibly I have heard of a lot of sucess with ppl plucking them off and them not returning.

No you can smoke a hermie and if you pick off the pollen sack they might burst and instead of bud you will get seeds.

Put your hermie in a different room, pluck it, use its pollen with a water color paintbrush and pollinate like ONE small bud on the lower end of your branches with a to get one seedy bud. Then plant those seeds, they should be all fem or mostly fem seeds if the theory floating around here works.

I agree with you Lowryder. so much hating on hermies that are not actually hermies but just normal intersexing gene pool.
Whulk... I think you may have misread or maybe I am misreding your response. I know u can smoke em as they have BOTH MALE & FEMALE and thats also why I suggested the reversing spray instead of plucking...some ppl are stubborn though so I suggest either way take the pollen sacs off and then choose either to pollenate a few buds for hermie and female seed or not personally if its good smoke I would but thats just me not liking growing a male for 4-6 weeks then woops what do I do now.
