Hey guys, this is one of my 7 plants that I have been flowering for 2-3 weeks now.. I have started noticing some sort of ball formation under all the buds.. i dont really know if they are "balls" or just pistils.. i have taken a few pictures, but I only have access to a crappy camera, so the quality of the pics aren't that great.. please someone let me know if i should kill this baby asap..

if its in a room with no male then pollen has to be coming somewhere...shit.. what should i do? should I ice it now? as I have another 6 plants flowering in the same room which have no signs of balls as of yet..
someone give me some good advice.. 1st time grower here..
inspect all plants carefully and look for male genitals
its most likely coming from the prego plant....i would move it to a diff location at least
I have inspected the other plants, they dont show any signs of male genitals.. well, at least i hope not..
what are my options with the pregnant plant? should i kill it and smoke all the buds? would that even be worth it? or should i let it grow and keep the seeds? do i need to keep it in a seperate room?
please help..

I'm not sure if you really got an Hermie, mate. As you said, the pictures you posted are not precise enough. Just out of focus.
I give you here a couple of pics of last year's hermaphrodite I had. The female flowers where already amber-ish, and there was not too many seeds. So a day after this pics where taken, I took her down, dried her up and smoked it!
Honestly, it wasn't that good smoke, but hey, it kept us buzzed until the other girls where ready, a couple of months afterwards.
Good luck!

the pics you have taken are of the calyx which shows that it is a female, if it hermies then you will get male flowers growing under the calyx and sometimes from inside the calyx.
i had this problem once and i just checked every internode and pulled off all the calyxes and male flowers and carried on flowering. i checked it every day for any new male growth for about 4 days after that.
i ended up with one bud with seeds out of hundreds of buds.
