OMG. sounds like you got nanners! its a hermi female! The flowers have opened? if so your fucked man! You need to clip out all those nanners as you see them appear, or cut the plant, or move the plant elsewhere and wash up when going from the one plant to the others. If maintained (clipping nanners) then hermi buds are some good smoke (Sometimes) and can even produce some of the DANKEST buds! GL my man! some pics might help a bit :)

Identifying the Male
Males can be identified by looking at the inter-nodes where leaf and branch stems connect with the main stalk. Male flowers will contain balls somewhere between the size of a marijuana seed and a popcorn seed. One ball is not definitive since female pistils sometimes split from a small single ball that opens. But two or three balls in a cluster is sure confirmation that you have a male. Males should be removed and destroyed to prevent them from releasing pollen. The pollen transports easily so the males can not be safely grown anywhere that shares an a/c or ventilation system unless special precautions are taken.

Identifying the Female
Females are very simple to identify. They sprout white hairs or 'Pistils'. A small ball will form and split and two tiny white hairs like translucent threads will split out. These hairs are called pistils and intended to catch pollen. Later when the plant is not pollinated these hairs will change color.

Pistils may guarantee that your plant is not a male but your plant could still be a hermaphrodite. You must watch plants grown from seed carefully for male flowers and even a trusted clone if it has undergone stress such as light during its dark period, lack of watering, or being left to flower far past maturity.

i understand the male and females i had two males as these seeds were bag seeds,

right so if i take out all the flowers is it ok to keep them with my females iv checked them and the flowers have not opened yet, if i pick all the flowers out will this stop it polinating all the females ?

yes you should be fine...but keep a close eye, and avoid moving the pollen sacs as much as possible...never know what could pop out with an accidental shake.
