Is this evidence of a hermie? What now?

[Cosmo]

This is my Northern Lights Auto outdoor grow at 7 weeks. I noticed this new growth at the branch unions this morning. Is this hermie?

This is my last plant for this year so I'd like to keep it if possible. All suggestions are welcome.

Morning Cosmo, if that was my only or last plant I would finish growing it ,if she hermies, a few seeds ,big deal ,least you will get something for your effort.

Thank you! Should I cut off as many as I can? I saw about a dozen.

I'm only a beginner but those look like swollen calyces, not balls, to me. See the pistils coming out of 'em?

[DW2]

I agree with Aloner, they look like swollen calyces, there even appears to be a pistil coming out of the one on the right.
Do not get hasty and cut them prematurely!

[Cosmo]

Thank you DW2. That's a big relief!

[Cosmo]

Thanks Aloner! I've done a few searches today and I agree that they look more like Calyces than balls.

That is not a hermie- (swollen calyxes-as mentioned) -It's normal progression towards the end of a grow- as the plant ripens !

Thank you for the help. I'm hoping the plant is ready for harvest in another 3 - 4 weeks.
