Do I have a hermaphrodite?

Hi all. Right now I've got 4 feminized plants about 3 weeks into flowering. All was going great until I woke up this morning to find that one of my pineapple chunks had a few seed pods. Can't understand it as there are only 4 females in the room. Coincidentally I trimmed the same plant pretty aggressively last night. I've attached a pic. I'm pretty sure these are seed pods but not positive. Can someone tell me for sure? And if they are going to be seeds, do I need to remove this plant or just keep popping off the pods. It's in great shape and budding well, so I hate to kill it, but don't want to screw up my other three. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, on another note, I am flowering and growing in the same room. The plants I'm growing are only an inch high right now and also feminized so they're not the culprit, but because of the setup, there is a little more ambient light in the flowering area than I'd like, but much less than a full moon night outside.

Thanks!!

take a picture of it on the plant... that will help!! on that pic it could easily be a calyx or a male pod
 
Look at the little balls on the plant. Are they in clusters? Yes = not a good sign. Are the balls on little tiny stems? Yes = male.
 
Thanks guys, no, the little balls are at the base of several popcorn buds. They are not in clusters, but appear at the base of the bud and also appear to point downward. I posted a pic below.

I topped this plant a month ago and it seems like just one cola has these little balls/pods. I thought they might be calyx too but wouldn't they be noticeable on the bigger buds first?

I've always grown fems or clones of fems so I have zero experience with males/seeds/herms etc.
 
Looks OK to me man, just wait it out. If it is a hermaphrodite as it progresses there will be no doubt. It would have to go awhile in order to pollinate the others so you'll be OK to wait. Good luck.
 
Thanks CC, that's what I was hoping to hear. I saw some posts on other forums that said to remove it immediately and I didn't want to do that without being absolutely sure. This plant is 4' tall with a 1" thick stem. Never grown PC before but I'm expecting great buds. We'll see what happens....
 
I have the same on a northern light auto. 2 little teardrop shape things under each bud. Mine look like they have little hairs on the tip. In 8th week.
