Here's a quick link I found via Google, to me it looks like you got a 100% female...but I am kinda new to growing! Also, I've seen plants before (not mine, but a friends) that hermied out w/ male parts coming out from under the calyxes, so it was really hard to see at first on his grow...here's some pics from that link, hope it helps ya!

The plants were from feminized seeds. The sacs go all the way down the stem. Would this be the case if they were calyxes?

I wanted to post a couple more pictures but can't figure out how. How do you distinguish a ball sac from a swollen calyx?

A calyx will have a hair coming form it usually. A ball sac will eventually stack up and look like a group of small grapes. The tops of the ball will open like a flower bud opening and release pollen.

Perfect explanation. Mine have little hairs and you saved me from insomnia tonite. Thank you, thank you.

the pollen sacks are yellow so they are easy to spot but not under a yellow hps light. It looks like you are focused on the ligules, the spiky hair like things by the nodes.
