Hi guys last night I found 2 x which I was thinking was pollen sacks but I have looked on the net and every sack I saw was green, these on my plant where white and not under the buds they where on the bottom branch could they have been old pre flowers? When sacks are open do they die off? And what colour? I have never seen this b4, thanks guys

If you are talking about the little calyx looking growth at the base of each node (branch) that does not have a pistil in it, then that is normal. Some strains grow these from the primordia (sic?).

<edit: Here is a good excerpt:


"
The first sign of flowering in Cannabis is the appearance of undifferentiated flower primordia along the main stem at the nodes (intersections) of the petiole, behind the stipule (leaf spur). In the prefloral phase, the sexes of Cannabis are indistinguishable except for general trends in shape.
When the primordia first appear they are undifferentiated sexually, but soon the males can be identified by their curved claw shape, soon followed by the differentiation of round pointed flower buds having five radial segments. The females are recognized by the enlargement of a symmetrical tubular calyx (floral sheath). They are easier to recognize at a young age than male primordia. The first female calyxes tend to lack paired pistils (pollen-catching appendages) though initial male flowers often mature and shed viable pollen. In some individuals, especially hybrids, small non-flowering limbs will form at the nodes and are often confused with male primordia."
