Hermie???

I know my focus sucks on my camera.....but I have a photo that is tall and lanky and it's buds are starting to form. I was trying to tie it bc it's over 8' and sways in the wind. Anyway....I noticed that a few buds have male features. Is this plant a Hermie? Is it a male? I have one other photo that is very small, it almost died but has a few small buds...and it's def a female. (This was random seeds someone gave me, unknown sex, unknown strain...I planted a dozen and ended up with 2 plants) the pictures are blurred, and I can use my real camera if I need to it's just a pain bc I have no working laptop to download but I will if it needs to be done. There are probably 5 buds on the plant that have grapelike balls below the bud, which I figured are the pollen sacs. But the other 20 or so buds are wispy and white....

Pluck the balls off and keep the plant
Oh. Ok. So just inspect well and keep pluckin? If you don't mind, could you explain the science behind that....is the plant herm or how does that happen that it's "mostly" female. Plants can't be androgenous or transgender can they? I understand what intersexed is with ppl and hormones, but does plant anatomy include hormones like humans? Sounds kinda like a big no. I've never heard of testosterone or estrogen coming from non mammal beings. Should l move it away from the other lil one that is def a female? I'm gonna use my bf phone to get better pics in a bit.

If you decided & keep it, it will have seeded buds & will pollinate other F plants and the seeds will have a great potential to herm.

I would move it far if you can. Becareful when removing that you don’t go touching bud sites on other plants as well. Stress causes and some genes just hermie from what I read most people just pluck them off. If my plant wasn’t gonna produce very much bud I would just rip out of ground. And doubt just the suggestion of dancing naked would bring the male out. Probably would have had to do it. if the genetics were in the line of stripper og
