Is my marijuana plant a hermaphrodite?

I have 36 plants total and i am on week 5 day 1 of flower. i just flowered my plants today and saw something that looks like a ball sack underneath the buds. i checked all of them and it looks like they all have it. its weird because they all have the pistils indicating that they are (or were) female. Im not sure what to do! i posted a few pics for you guys to get a better idea of what im talking about. also as you can see, the balls look like they have the pistils coming out of it. not sure what that means. Do i have to throw my whole crop out?photo copy.jpgphoto-1.jpgphoto-1.jpg need help! thanks

p.s. i just opened one of the balls and it looks like a seed. picture is posted

That is a calyx (female reproductive organ of the plant that houses two pistols that can potentially be the home of a pollinated pistol and seed pod if given the chance). But you are all female here

Nothing to worry about other than all of that resin getting all over your gloves and scissors when you buck it down!!

ya, if it gets pollinated, those will be all over the place swelling up on the buds, and slowly opening themselves to reveal seeds from within. I just had a plant hermie on me and pollinate some of my other shit. she/he has seeds everywhere, those banana antenna looking deals come out of no where like some alien shit. your stuff look fem.

OP,

Great pics of the plant. She's very healthy! And you weren't an idiot to remove ONE of the pods to see what it was. If you've got 36 flowering females, there are plenty more where that came from!

Nice educational pics, BTW. I wish we had a sticky where people could post their photos of different plant stages and anatomy. That would be a perfect addition.

Good luck with the rest of the grow!
