Strange looking flowers/buds

This is a flowering plant grown in the ground in the central US, picture taken 8/14/08. Before anyone says "male," all the males showed themselves over a month ago, and I have been growing for several years so I know exactly what a male and female look like at various stages.

As you can see, the buds look like they are full of immature seed pods. I had a plant like this last year, and the bud was good. I can't figure out whether there was some cross pollination (it's been grown in an urban area) or what. Has anyone seen anything like this?

if you knew exactly what a male/female looked like, that plant would have been in the compost pile a month ago!
those "seeds pods" are immature male flowers...

One plant grew like that last year right next to females, and there was no pollination. The buds on it developed into small colas, but just looked strange. I have another plant cloned from a mother that looks like this one. Another plant that was growing near the same spot as this one for the same time showed definite pollen buds on June 30. Why would this not show until 45 days later? Both germinated on about April 20.

If this is a male, it's definitely nothing like any other male I've seen, usually the pollen pods are much larger, more separated, and hang.

Here's what it looked like eight days ago.

I have not had seeds in plants in four years of growing in the same area. I almost always sex the plants with a 12/12 indoor light after 30 days of vegging, then plant them.

how do you say you've been growin for years...is something wrong with your brain dude? I don't mean it to be offensive but that is so clearly a male, there isn't one pistil on him...if you sexed early on, how did you determine this one female if there wasn't any pistils...?
