First grow. Hermie or female?

My plant is in week three of flowering now and it has oval shaped pods at some of the parts where the branches meet. The pods are not appearing in clusters (they are singular) and have very short stems to them. I look at some of the other spots where the plant is budding and find somewhat similar yet smaller pods with no stems that have pistils coming out of them. Other than these few pods the plant seems female. I opened one of these sacs and found about 6 tiny leaf looking things (almost looked like the two smallest leaves that are seen when the plant had just sprouted). The pods are not found in any of the buds of the plant like i have seen with other hermie pics, just on the branches. Sound like a hermie or something not?

P.S. - sorry no camera

need pics to tell. but I wouldnt go around pinching preflowers buddy lol. It could be but it should be OBVIOUS by now what sex it is. If it isn't you are definatley doing something wrong if its been 3 weeks.

well its got a a bunch of buds on it with white pistils so i know for sure it is either a female or a hermie. and if it is a hermie, none of the pods have opened up into flowers yet. i look at the pics of a male or hermie plant and the pods on my plant look almost identical to the pollen sacs but are not clumped together and are not in the buds but rather on the branches. everything else about it (ie. the female flowers) seems on par with other plants i have seen 3 weeks into flowering. could the pods just be preflowers that havent flowered yet or something?
 
I bought a afghan clone from my local dispensary that went hermie and the only reason i knew it turned hermie was because in the middle of a few of the buds were a single ball, and when I touched one yellow pollen came out of it. If what you are talking about is at the internodes where the leaves attach to the stem and you see white pistils coming out of them through my research that is just female pre-flowers. But you cant be to careful check them daily and if you notice any pollen get that plant out of your garden b4 it pollenates your other females. good luck hope this helps.

Sacs have stems, and calyzes don't, so it sounds pretty likely that you have a hermie on your hands. We need some pics to be able to say with 100% certainty. :)

Oval shaped pods that is has far has i read the plant if grown from a fem seed has changed and become a hermi or it is just a male but you have caught it before it opens pull it now and the rest should be fine.

Thanks for all the input guys. much appreciated. i looked again today and so far two these sacs with stems (the stems are about 2 millimeters long) have white pistils coming out of them. hallelujah.
