I am sorry to say i see female and male parts but the male parts are not that clear and an accurate diagnosis can only be made with time so let it go, don't crap yourself and don't get rid of it! Your second grow, good experience for you and who says that you won't get some nice bud out of it.
The word HERMI is quite misunderstood, there are many genetic situations where a plant may exhibit male and female parts and now and again it can be down to stress. I grow only female and get the odd male pollen sac, it is very controllable if you only have a few plants. The problem comes when you have 20 plants, 18 are female and 2 are looking hermie, then pull the two hermie plants but not in your case.
The start of flowering is a very stressfull time for the plant anyway so many different preflowers can form, small short veg periods plants are still imature and it is a shock for them to grow up so fast. Some will say throw it but i'd say give yourself some more time to make your mind up. There is no rush here, i made seed and grew it from my feminised plants, saved me tons of money buying seeds from over hyped grow shops.

no dont cut anything off. If it is your only plant,just flower it like you would a regular female. It will still produce some good smoke.

I think you need to do some research on google into hermi plants. Wait to see if they are male pollen sacs first, may just be new growth of leaves that look similar! Give it 2 days and post pics again to make sure dude. Some types of hermie plant are not great. Mine are feminised plants so i know any hermi'ing will hardly be noticable for the massive buds i get. I do see some white hairs on one of the photos and am unsure as to wether this plant has male balls on. People panick when plants start to flower, let them be till you are 100percent sure and other members on here are too.
To me those plants are just preflowering, you need to let it get over this stage and into flowering before you do anything. Don't panic and read up some on it.Peace

I am going to take everyones advice! The reason I'm going crazy is because my last plant ended up a full male and that was so sad for me! Hey, i'm still learning over here thats why I ask as many questions as possible! I will updated this pic in a few days, I just looked at my plant right now and I'm starting to see more hairs coming out of other tops!

Sometimes the new internodal growth of leaves looks like male balls when it is really leaves and a stalk. All will be revealed in a few days. Why don't you get hold of some feminised seeds, great for smaller grows? I must have done a few hundred plants over the years and never one male. I barely bother to check if they are female now and just leave to bud.

I saw wait a while and you diss me like this!lol! My advice is the same but he don't even know if they are male pollen sacs or not plus he has just seen more white hairs. Hold your horses this is his second grow! Plus from those pics i don't see why you are advising pulling bits of plants yet. Don't run before you can walk would be a usefull saying here.what jawbrodt said + keep asking
