the growth at the top of that picture looks like normal calyxes...the growth at the bottom looks like male flowers, calyxes do not grow on little stalks...could be wrong, but that's how it looks to me.
Female, Male or Herme?

Op could easily cut one off and smash it to see if there is any pollen in them, even if they are not ready to burst there would be some white pollen in there.ya but its clear as day its growing pistils and i havent seen pollen yet or them balls split to their nannas to make that level of certainty yet - theres the right way and wrong way to do things
I could be wrong but I think it’s pretty rare for a pollen sac to not produce pollen, probably more so if grown in clusters. But I guess maybe op doesn’t care if his bud is riddled with seeds that he can’t use unless he likes growing seedy plants

There are most definitely natural herms and those are the ones that throw balls like this at the beginning. Some throw balls like clockwork at a set time of bloom no matter what you do. Bananas are a different storyAint my first rodeo amigo and its why i bait these threads up so we can all see what happens. There is only male or female - herms are simply not a sexual group but a stress reaction so if it grows pistils you have a female plant that will then go onto produce some lovely bud.
lets wait it out for kingrows sake as he loves these threads

Everyone I decided to pull it. I wanted to safe and not take any chances. My first grow. I wanted to be extra careful and make sure I finish my 1st grow.

Thank you everyone for your input. I appreciate it. Even if you don’t agree. Its cool. Im trying to learn and make some good shit.

There’s no two ways about it. Those were balls. You did the right thing. Some time in the future after you’ve encountered more males, herms...you’ll look back and know for sure that you were right. Not your fault. Last run I had a few hidden balls lower on a plant pollinate all of my plants. I’m talking over a hundred seeds per plant. Doesn’t take many pollen sacks to wipe the smile right off your face. Lol. Got anything else sprouted?

Just nervous that branches are thick enough. Will the branches get thicker/stronger over time? Should i LST? Use a scrog?

No lst and I don’t see a Scrog being much of an option here. I’d let her go. Those stems will thicken and harden some.

You clearly see male sacs with their lines of division and the stlaks that grow daily?
.... Or just confusing stuff that looked round but not 100% male accompanied by a very strange preflower on the stalk....
Its why im the pro here on this subject and few disagree due to my long term open commitment here in threads helping hundreds with a very high accuracy.
Show me pollen maybe we will talk, until then all that was reported were more pistils.
Oh dear

Well the others look completely different. Just wanted to be safe. Still have 4 other plants that all around look female and seem to be thriving. If for some reason they all turn herm. I guess i will just wait to make sure i buy feminized seeds or get clones. Trial and errorAnd if the rest herm at any point you gona kill them too...? What you gona smoke when you kill everything

One down four to go - ive been here on hundreds of these first grow threads and you far from out tbe woods yet plus there is no hermie free clone or seed on the market or wild yet so lets assume this can happen easily in the next grow.
I help growers but theres so much bad advice at the moment youve killed one fith of your grow at the very start of an eight week stretch thats prone to herm for new growers.
Experience is what you need most dude, mother nature wont just do what you want with ease

Cluster of balls right here. It’s not even debatable and you’re not helping anyone here. Pat yourself on the back and continue to play this character but all this make believe shit you spout is just that. It’s make believe. You’re more of a road bump in someone’s growing success than a positive factor. For the best of the mj community you should slip back under your rock with your hemp plants.
