Is this a hermie or a calyx? please help

= ( Can I just scrape them off and keep it going? Or do i just give up and pull it? or let it grow a little longer then mash the thing up into hash or some shit. super bummed, this is the second biggest of the lot...

Looks like a male to me, rather than a hermie. Hermies usually show up much later in flower.

Either way, if you dont get it out of your garden soon expect the pollen to spread and then you get lots of nice seeds in your garden. Kill it or separate to a different room then harvest the pollen.
 
fucking christ, I'm noticing them on 4 out of 5 plants, only the absolute runt is not showing any of these so far. I'm 2 and half weeks into flowering. This is a major bummer. They are only on certain nodes on each plant. Do I really throw out 4 plants cause of this and keep one going? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

if it looks like a tiny green football (with the seams) its a pollen maker kill it now... it gets ripe REALLY quickly...

that sucks man. those plants looked awesome. better to kill off the ones with the balls now, even if you only have 1 or 2 left over. a little off topic, if you had a female that turned hermie, could you clone it? or would the results be the same, because those look pretty early into flowering and maybe you could clone them. you know if you could have had any light leaks or anything during the dark period?
 
yes, same plants in all these pictures. all showing the same signs, only on a couple nodes, two plants have em on only one node
 
Well the setup is a bit unorthodox at the moment due to space and money. But basically leave them in the closet, then transport them to a dr60 tent for the dark period. leave the tent completely sealed up and simply resting a household fan on top of the top exhaust port. Even though it's completely sealed up, air sneaks through and puffs up the tent and keeps somewhat adequate air flow as far as can tell.
Intro aside, what happened twice, about a week ago, was came home an hour after the lights went off (went off at midnight, came home at 1am) they were supposed to be put in the tent at midnight. It was very dark and only a stove top light in the kitchen area off to the side was used to navigate putting the plants in the tent. this grow has been fucked up top to bottom across the board haha, many mistakes. but anyways this may have been a contributing factor to them going hermie? no balls were seen prior to this. didn't think putting em to bed an hour late twice would do this, but guess their schedule is sensitive to changes?

this is buddha's sister btw, canna coco, and canna nutes. solarmax 600watt mh conversion bulb through the entire veg and flowering stages.

If you keep a hermie and just say hey I'm getting some seeds on this grow fine...how long is the pollen potent for? The concern being if you do another grow in the same space and don't want any seeds, can the pollen from the previous grow impregnate your females if you missed it during clean up between grows?
