Is this a hermie?

Hey!
This is my first post, and first pics.
This is an autorunner 2 autoflowering, 24 days from seed.
As you can see, there's pistols and hair growing all over the place, and more than the pics are showing. And on picture 4 you can see something looking like a ball on a stick. The same stick is on the opposite side. Is this a hermie, or is it too soon to be sure? If so, should i pinch of the balls? Submitting a few pics, hope it's okay.

It's growing under cfl's, no excessive watering, normal amounts of nutrients and a lot of care, like sunlight in the window during daytime :)

Hope i posted in the right place :)

Not to question your judgement, but are you sure that's wise? :) That won't cause any harm to the plant, i mean? And what about the rest of the plant, did it look female to you?

did he mean remove the Balls? or Plant? think he means the Balls? if you haven't got any others on the go you could always leave the plant a wk or so to see if Def Male/Herm?
But if you got any others on the go or near by you might not wanna take the Risk..i had 2 Hermie on me in last Grow was Gutted!!

Thanks for your reply. All pics are from the same plant. So with all pics combined, it looks like both female and male, a hermephrodite? And i can safely remove the balls and hope for the best?

I was thinking about removing the balls. This is my only plant. My first grow, and i wanted to learn the techniques before i try anything bigger. It's from a feminized autoflowering seed btw, does that make any difference?

You stressed the plant causing it to produce male flowers.
You can get a spray that will stop it from producing more male flowers, but you need to figure out why it was stressed.

I wasn't sure until I saw the 4th pic. Not sure if its a male plant or a hermie but that was a male flower. You can pull the balls off as you see them, and hopefully there wont be too many. But if you have lots of them, its going to be an uphill battle.

Thanks guys! Just confirmed my suspicions, but better to know now than later. So now i'm off to cutting of some sacks. Should i pinch them off as close as possible to the stem?
And i have no idea as to why it got stressed, but wish i knew for later projects.
 
I'd just chop it and start over, if those pollen sacks rupture your going to have pollen all through your tent and room... end up with some seed weed and scrubbing your tent and room to get rid of the pollen so it don't happen again...
