Its my first time grow and decided to just grow one plant, nearly 2 months in and im starting to regret planting just one. I put it into flower 2-3 weeks ago. Now im seeing pollen sacks but the top of the plant looks female. Im starting to wonder if it a hermaphodite, if it was would it be worth finishing its grow and harvesting?
I was going to kill it when i first seen the signs of male but cant bring myself to do it after all this time.
I got a couple of pics sorry for the quality, i only have phone camera.
In the first 2 pics you can just make out the sacks below the buddy looking bit. In the last pic it looks like a female to me
Thanks for any comments

Can't see anything in the pics but hermie buds can still be some good smoke. You'll just have some seeds in it. Make sure your room is completely dark during the 12 hour dark period.

use the flower symble on your camera for plant pics.

i cannot really see it.
has it got balls or hairs /flowers growing from it?.

how many plants have you got?.

The room is completely dark when lights are off, im growing in a wall closet in my bedroom. I have however a few times opened the door to look at the plant when its been in dark for no more than 3 mins while my bedroom light was on but that wouldnt effect it would it?

also helps to put a piece of paper or your hand right behind the node you are photographing. Will help the camera focus.

He said it was his only plant so I think he should keep it even if it herms. I see female flowers at the top

How many times is a few times and yes, that will affect it.

Not sure probably more than im thinking as its my first grow and ive been a little obsessed with looking at it. I really thought that wouldnt do any harm, my bedroom light must only be 60watt with a shade around it

That probably isn't it. Could just be genetics. Just to be sure, you should get a green light bulb or flashlight. The green light does not affect the plants' light cycle. I had a batch of plants that was incredible smoke but one of the plants had four seeds in the entire plant. I guess it depends how much the male tendency(phenotype) is expressing itself in your plants. If your plant is very mannish with a lot of balls then you may want to start over with some new seeds.
