Hermie or Female with clusters?

I have this plant that orginally only had one female pistil then it grew staminate flowers afterwards. it now has several pistils and several clusters of flowers growing. I am very confused because some of these have hairs growing out and some don't. I am hoping these are just swollen calyxes, but I'm not sure. Here is some pics if anyone can lend some advice I'd really appreciate it. I am seeing more and more of pistils and clusters develop everyday.

As you can see in the picture of the top there is several pistils, and in the other pictures there is various pistils and clusters of other flowers. Could these clusters just be swollen calyxes and female flowers or are they male parts?

looks like a heavy herm to me... I do see the Female pistols on a few and it does look like Male Clumps are coming in... I'd let it go for another week or so just to make sure.. It wont hurt at this stage!

Is there two hairs per calyx?? I see no balls or very few hairs.

Certain Calyxes have two hairs, the initial calyx only had one hair, it is about a 50/50 ratio. I am just seeing clusters like you would see on a full blown male, but nothing that looks like hanging sacks, that could be do to it not being fully developed.

I have a female next to this plant, how long do you think I have until It starts dropping pollen. I see no sacks yet, just balls and clusters, but nothing bursting open.

The pollin sacks have to mature and burst before it releases pollin.. You have at least a week maybe 3 before you have to worry.... Its still a child!

Now what about the the staminate flowers on the main stem? They have no pollen sacks, I had these on my first plant and it turned out 100% female, could these clusters all be calyxes forming at a high rate? Because I am noticing that a few of these actually are split open and have pistils growing. It just has so many of these cluster fucks things that I am afraid they are male flowers, and the plant next to it has only limited calyxes but every single calyx has hairs growing out it, and the plant is the same strain. maybe the plant is just a female with some male characteristics, you know kind of like ellen degenerous.

Of course there is a chance, Hence the Keep it going for a week or more to make sure. You'll know if its a herm or male soon enough! Just don’t pull it early if you are not sure!

Good luck,

Hopefully it's not a hermie, but I think it is, What can I do with a hermie? I mean I can't let it finish because I have a female next to it in the Aerogarden, I would like to let it finish so i can use it to make hash or butter and the more substance the better. but If i have to chop it down i gotta do what i gotta do to keep my mother seedless and since I took clones I wont be so disappointed to chop the other plant.

Very difficult to tell from the photos ... but as I'm sure you know, early male flowers look like tiny grape clusters. You cannot miss them. I'd have to say, a good rule of thumb is that if you're wondering, you have female plants ... male plants, or hermaphrodites are very obvious to spot, long before the pollen sacks open and pollinate the rest of your crop. When you see clusters of more than two "Balls", or "Sacks", those are male; or Hermaphrodite pre-flowers.
