If she's got orbs with no pistil hairs protruding, she's probably a hermie. Without pics, can't say for sure.
Personally, when I've found that early, I've never had any luck with just knocking them off- they always seem to make more- lots more. Depending on your situation, you may want to try it, and let her finish. By situation, I mean, was this the only seed you have, or are you cutting from a mother and have plenty more? Is this the only plant in your flower room, or is it going to pollinate 30 others if you let it finish? Etc. to weigh out the risks.
I've encountered that before, and will immediately knock off what I see, to keep it from indiscriminately pollinating anything else in the room. Then, through process of elimination, I identify where the problem started. Usually, when I get one that hermies that early, it's a genetic thing, and the mother carries the characteristic, and all of the clones I've taken are subject to do the same. I have found, that feminized seeds seem to be bit more unstable than regular seeds, and have produced more hermies, for me.
ENVIROMENTAL CONDITIONS, I firmly believe, are the no. 1 cause of hermies! i.e., temps (very big thing- room temp does not = canopy temp!!!!!), nutes/feeding regimen, water quality, - anything that will stress the flowering plants, can cause hermies.
As Mad_Prophessor mentioned earlier on, they will all grow a banana or two. It may be buried up in there so deep, you'll likely never find it, but it's there. But, in my experience anyway, it's usually the lower branches, and not until towards the end of the flowering cycle. Most of these are benign, and don't pollinate anything. Some breeds will throw bananas like a monkey if they flower a few days to a week longer than what it's supposed to, but don't pollinate anything. I have no clue what that's about.
Keeping in mind, this has just been my personal experience.
Hope some of this babble has helped
