Hermaphrodite Problem?

Guys/Girls I was trying to read all my resources and couldn't find anything specific as to what needs to be done if this happens (please take a look at pics)

I purchased a Green House Indica Mix Pack and received a Reserva Privada Cole Train for free. Only 2 seeds of the mix pack (1 is Cheese and the other I have no idea) and the reserva privada germinated. I left them 24/0 for around 1 month and half under CFLs. I know they suffered stress while growing because here it is humid and cold and I didn't know I was over watering them (later I found out each plant could last a week without watering) I had to grow them in their vegetative stage indoors because last time I grew another plant outdoors it became auto at around 1 ft tall due to the photo-period around here.

After that I took them out (they are next to each other), it is a waste not taking advantage of the year round photo-period. At the moment, they are at least 4 to 5 feet including pot, I tried to limit their size with the pot. They are growing outdoors at 1800m in the Andes (close to the Equator). Recently they started flowering and they are looking great (at least for a first timer) however I found these seeds sacks (as shown in the pics). I believe both Cheese and Cole Train became hermaphrodites. Sacks are only on the upper part of the plants. Flowers are starting to show everywhere in all three plants.

Please advise.

PS: My internet connection sucks, so I didn't have a chance to search the forums.

they could be swollen calyx,s. Id wait another day and see if a white hair pops out, if not , and their on both of your 'only' plants, I would just pick them off...

By the way, Cole Train is in first and last pictures, Greenhouse Cheese in second and third.

yes, if they are pollen sacs, just gently pluck them off...but im thinking those are swollen calyx, just watch carefully over the next day for white hair, if no white hair...pull em off...when you pull pollen sacs off, make sure you wet finger tips as to ensure no pollen spreds....

Thanks a lot again! I saw them yesterday and took the pictures today. Do you think I still should wait another day more?
