hermie? fertilized female?

So I have three plants in flower. Two are mostly indica blend, and the other is a freebie seed that by all accounts looks to be sativa. Naturally the indicas seem much further along and will probably be ready to harvest in two or three weeks...nice, pretty, beautiful buds apparently...On the sativa though, there have been these wierd looking growths on the buds, right on top, that almost look like seeds starting to form. shiny, dense little green growths. I have never seen a budding fertilized female. this is my first grow actually. Originally I did have one male that i had to throw out, but I got rid of him at the first sign of bal sacs growing, so I dont any way that she could have gotten pollinated, and at the same time, I have seen no signs of any pollen sacs on her to call her a hermie...but her buds are just weirding me out. pics to come.

Its not a male if it has buds on it, if it has buds and its getting the bulbs its a hermie. But pics will be needed.

Doh, missed the part that it actually had buds. My bad. Watch those pollen sacks carefully as all it takes is one to seed your crop.
Edit: If it was a pollinated calyx, it would still have trichs on it. Pollen sacks are pretty smooth.

I need to get a camera that can focus better on the small growth that I am talking about. My camera phone just makes it blur. it just is throwing me off maybe because the indica vs the sativa differences. The indica has tight, dense, sticky bud....and the plant in question that is sativa is not sticky yet, not very dense, but truthfully has way more buds...then these weird growths popped up. They all went into 12/12 at the same date.

nothing wrong with smokin bud from a hermy, the problem is it could release pollen and fertilize your other females and make them seedy. keep an eye out for pollen sacks and rip them off.
