Hard to tell from that pic...I definitely see pistils but the little ball at the node looks like it may be a nanner. This may help...
or try this...lots of infohttp://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Hermaphrodite+Plants&Form=VQFRVP

How far along is that pic.
I have plants at end of week 7 that have fat ball like pistols now but they never go hermie.

I'm like 6+ weeks into flower. 600w hps, 3x3 tent, all my environmental variables have been stable. Overall, things look SUPER healthy, that ball thingy just caused me to question things. Still not 100% convinced one way or the other. =/

We Alaskans need to stick together.
This does look suspect, though.
I'd hate to seed this batch accidentally.Attachments

When my lights come on I'll send you a pic of my pistols so you can compare and get a feel but since there different strain there is a little chance that they could differ but I fought it. How long have you been growingWe Alaskans need to stick together.

This is only my second grow. This is my first run with coco and HPS lights. My first grow was ebb and flow buckets with LED. The results were only so so.

I can't quiet count all my grows but they get better as time goes on. There is always something new to learn and try out. I'm using hps with soil now. First time was ebb and flow with hps. You will get dense nugs. I like hps a lot. I have a T5 for veg.

Seeds right now we're from a friend and not feminized, he created his own strain Crystal crossed Mozambique, I clones from them very easy, new batch of seeds I ordered from bonza seeds there a good supplier in my opinion and they are feminized. Haven't had any problems with this strain, it's very strong against mold and all that l, as well very hard to kill. I didn't keep up with my last batch had life things happen and they still turned out very well got a lb and a half. Like I keep forgetting to water them, lost a lot of leaves but this new batch I have had no life things happen so there quiet forgiving. When I buy seeds I buy fem and stealth ship for $15. I like bonza bc they take befit cards and it took 10 business days to arrive so far all seeds have germed.

Seed was from a popular online source, all feminized. No shocks at all, temps b/w 65-80, RH 40%-55%, popular(hated) brand of nutes, tupur coco mix. No issues aside from a few yellow leaves. Overall things look really healthy.

Well, if you got a hermie it was a fluke. I cannot 100% comment on whether or not it actually is a she-male. I cannot see the plant as you can. So, keep a watchful eye on it, check all nodes daily to see if any other formations are developing. If they are balls, they can pop very quickly and your garden is fucked in the literal sense. A lot of growers will try to pick them off as they appear...too risky for me. Just like a sperm and egg, just takes 1 spore to fuck your gurlz. I grew 2 hermies in one grow, with bag seeds and MG products. But, that was no real surprise under those conditions. You did it the right way.
I do have another question, since you tried hydro with limited success and then went right to a soiless grow. Why not just do a soil grow as Mother Ganja does it? I have grown in soil every time since I popped my first seed (except the above mentioned tragedy), and have had all successful grows with no guess work. Not that your gurlz aren't pretty cause they are

I guess I never really considered soil. My first run with clay pellets had so so results, but I don't think it was the fault of the grow substrate. For what it's worth, I really like the coco mix i'm using.
