Male or Female? Having Issues Identifying My Tangerine Dreams

Now i have 6 plants in my 4x4 tent and running a 430hps sun agro in a cool tube and a 400 hps in a super sun 6 air cooled hood...im about 6 weeks into flowering and 4 of the 6 are getting frosty while the other 2 are now just showing pistols, at least i think... the 2 that im having issues with are tangerine dream... here are the pics of some branches i snipped off to take pics of...looks like a pollen sac growing off the sides of the base of the branches. but i also see pistols...i bought 5 feminized seeds from barny's farm...could stress caused then to hemie or am i just being paranoid and these damn TD's are just taking for ever...100_2735.jpg100_2737.jpg100_2736.jpg

It's hard to tell from that pic, but if its male, you will see multiple pods in one spot that seem to multiply daily. If it's a hermie female, you will see what looks like a mini banana, and they are usually yellowish. And it doesn't look like you are six weeks in flower....

And that thing that looks like a pod at the node is called a calyx, its part of the flowering female
 
calyx...thats what it is... thanx...i actually had to cut the top of my TDs off cuz my light is all the way up and the top branches were about 3 inches from the glass on the super sun 6, so i cut it down about 10 inches to a nice set of nodes. im pretty much puzzled why these are taking so long to flower...seriously i started the light change on april 2nd...the other 4 are frosted and 1 is about 3-4 weeks till ripe...
 
heres what i got going on..430hps and 400hps both with air cooled hoods. 2 46w/6500k cfls down below. i got 5 strains and 6 plants in a basic DWC, space is tight and would not grow that many on a 4x4 again. i got 2 Tangerine Dreams, Bubblecious, Pineapple Express, Strawberry Haze, & Himalayan Gold. im using AN connoisseur for all plants with some liquid karma, bio bizz alg-a-mic sea kelp, AN Bud Candy, AN Big Bud, Snow Storm Ultra, Hygromizine(spelling??? it keeps res clean without killing microbs) and i foilier spray some bombastic with liquid karma couple times a week... you can see that the bubblicious is having a lil prob with the strength but the rest are doin excellent running at 1500-2000ppms. i start fresh every 2 weeks with fresh water .... i add 2000ppms of nutes and add water as needed with a lil sea kelp until 2 weeks then fresh water and nutes... so idunno whats the deal with the Tangerine Dreams but i think they just maybe today or yesterday really started showing any sign of flowering... talk about a late bloomer...

Tangerine is probably a pure sativa that that takes 16 weeks for flowering lol. Would recommend using the same strain next time, not only for that reason, but it makes mixing nutes a lot easier, as they all pretty much have the same needs.
