Newbie with a Hermie??

Hello all, I am new to all of this, I have looked through the forums, and Googled my issue, but still am not quite sure what I have here. This is a Trainwreck Fem Autoflower from a seed bank. It has been flowering for 9 weeks and today I cut it down. It is covered in all these little balls, in the buds, below the buds etc. The ball are soft when squeezed. Is this a hermie? Or what do I have and will it be smokable?

Have you actually pinched the ,little balls to see if there is a seed in one of the 'pods'? I know when the ?calyxes? get swollen that they can often times look like a seed pod. If I had to guess, that's what I would say you have here, not a hermaphrodite with seeds. But I could be wrong.

Yes i pinched them and they are very soft, i couldn't feel anything in them. If they are calyxes then is that normal for the buds to be full of them? This was an outdoor plant. Seems like the buds are light and sparse and it looks like these should have developed into flowers but did not? I am so clueless, It isn't for the lack of Googling and reading forums though, lol I just grew this one plant for my first one to see how it went and sort out my mistakes before i planted more $12.00 seeds.

Those are most likely false seed pods (not seeds), that was a female plant and you chopped it down way premature. you should have come here before you chopped. better luck going forward, spend some time reading here and also growweedeasy.com and ilgm.Com, good luck

One word: Microscope.

You will realize your mistake as it dries ...asking after doing is like never asking at all

Yes I cut the whole pant down, I had read many websites on when to tell if it is ready to harvest, I went by the fact that over half of the pistils were turning color and curling in and the trichomes were cloudy and a couple turned amber, along with the fact that it had been in flowering the length of the time the seed bank said. I read many many websites, looked at the plant with a jewelers loupe. Guess I was wrong but like I said I was new to all this and my first one.
