Yea, its really hard to tell what im looking at with the orange of the HPS.
The first pic kind of looks like balls (male).. second pic i cant really see anything. But without a picture with normal lighting, it will be impossible to say for sure
Edit: Beat me to it ;P. That first picture is tough to see much with all the growth in the area im supposed to be looking at... but the second one deff has balls

Could have a hermaphrodite on your hands. But those balls, are definitely "balls". A female Calyx does look very similar to the male pollen sacks, when the plant is just beginning to show signs of sex. But the calyxs is typically an elongated cone shape, where the pollen sacks are a bit more rounded.. and a calyx will push pistils out of it, which helps differentiate between male/female as well.
Your plant shows pollen sacks, AND at the top pistils (which would indicate female). If it is a hermie, or has hermie tendancies, its likely something you'd be battling with throughout your grow... and while i believe you can remove the pollen sacks in instances like this, and still try to make the plant "work", all it takes is one missed ball, and it will pollinate your entire plant, plus infest your grow area with pollen that could end up pollinating future grows.
Maybe wait for another reply and see what they think.. as im not super experienced in hermie/male plants, beyond knowing what they would look like

Thanks man i have 3 others that are deff females. I thought maybe this ones a slow grower. ill probably chop him because of lack of exsperience and would not want to risk the others. Even though this one is deffinetly looking the nicest so its a bit sad

Those are most definitely pollen sacs. Where at on the plant are they located? On the top or the lower nodes?
