No, many strains will form those bulbs under the bud branches, this is likely perfectly normal. My recommendation is to cut off one or two of those and make sure there isnt a hard seed in them. There will be a "cuticle" (small little ball) but it shouldnt be hard. If there is a hard ball in there then you have a hermy, but i have had exactly what those pictures show on many strains with no seeds/male flowers.

Those are your preflower calyxes. They are the oldest calyxes on the plant, so they will naturally usually be the largest. I pick em off and add em to the sugar leaf hash pile at harvest time (depending how large your grow).

nah a hermy that late in flower likely wouldn't grow balls anyway. It would just start shooting out little yellow bananas from the buds. As long as u dont see bananas u are fine, my plant is 6 week into flower and has the same little bulbs on every branch, and it is no hermy.
