Male or female

The first picture looks like it has a little nut growing but I can't say for sure, the rest look fine, how old into veg or flower are they?

Quick question guys. On the first picture there, if you look at that little ball sack that's growing, if I see that on any plant, even if it's just one, that means that is a male, right? Because I have other plants that have that little nut but just one of them, it's male right?

I have such a hard time deciphering male from female. What's about hermaphrodites? What do I do if it's hermaphrodite? Is it still useless?

Here is what male sacks/balls (whatever you want to call them) look like

These are what you want to see: Pistils!

Dude I read how to tell but I'll confused because my plant has a little ball sack like in the second picture there. It doesn't have the whole group growing like in the first pic but maybe it just didn't grow yet. I germinated these in early June.

I see that sack now. It could just be a hermie. But I see quite a few pistils on it. Keep an eye on it and if it starts growing clusters of those sacks then pull it. But if it's just that one sack I would just leave it or try to cut the sack off. Hope this helps.

Well I see calyx that is swollen. I also see hairs here and there. I'd say girls. No matter what, quit stressing over it and let them go a bit longer. It's not like they are going to get preggo instantly from a male in the room. It takes a couple weeks for males to start pollinating.

right what he said, sometimes you just end up with a Seed or 2 from hermie, But i see it as a good thing, you have a seed just in case your strain is hard to find or if you just want to breed seeds and hope that you get a male of you female plant

Lol thanks for pointing that out man. But seriously. Is that (on the PLANT) a pollen sack? It's growing in a weird spot. It's right on the branch and not in between where most pictures show it. I removed it from the rest of my plants but if it's not a male I'd like to put it back.
please stick to your own thread instead of hijacking someone elses

I see the sack from first pictures take it off ASAP if u see more popping then take it out of the room, I have a friend on his last grow had a male but produced flowers too. I have never grown a male so I cant say on the flower part but if it a dude the it's gotta go. A hermie early stage of flowering is a problem as it could get the pollen out by fan blowing. I had one hermie but at 5 th week of flowering it wasn't too bad but not big flower's from it and gladly didn't spread it's beans. Hope this helps and good luck
