Alright so I've got what appears to be a male preflower

Its the only one I've been able to spot, but all of the nodes above this are starting to form female preflowers

So is this a hermi? Any opinions/advice appreciated

Honestly before I saw the sex of my girl, she looked like the top pics, then luckily i started seeing pistils :) I'd say let it rock out for now, is this on a lower node? I noticed the lower nodes took longer to show pistils

Why risk it man? Pulling one plant is better than potentially ruining a crop. The changes of you missing one and pollinating your crop seem high. Im not a pro but I would say trust what the people above are telling you.

dude they all look like that before the pistils come out, the lower the node, usually the longer they take to show, unless you have under lighting

its been there for awhile so im pretty sure it was male preflower..and im "risking" it because i don't have 30 plants in chance of being ruined. i have three total plants and ill probably just flower that one at a different location just in case. doesnt seem too absurd to me?

Your choice man. If it we me I would get that thing as far away from your girls as possible. 3 plants or 30 it is still all your hard work and effort you could lose. Just imo

sometimes female plants get a couple pollen sacks (like a couple on the whole plant) that wont seed your buds. Not exactly sure why, but it seems that they don't contain pollen. I have had it happen a couple times. If its a true hermie though than you will get seeded and they tend to have more than one pollen sack. If you are only growing one plant don't throw it out. If you are growing many plants I would wait a day or two then make a decision, it wouldn't be worth a crop of seeds.
