Are these pollen sacs?

I thought I saw a pistil, but? Or maybe it was a Putty Tat. If it is an isolated occurrence, then as I recall, if it does turn out to be a pollen sac, it could be that the female is so stressed in looking for a male that she creates her own "male", which means that there would be only female chromosomes in the pollen. Which is different than a hermaphroditic plant which has both sets. This would give rise to female seeds if that pollen is used. Rare but possible? But death to herms in my book of commandments! Don't want those in my seed stock! Has anyone else heard or read about this? I believe this is covered in "Marijuana Botany" but I can't check to verify, as my book is on loan to a friend starting a grow dispensary. He's looking to bone(meal) up on his knowledge. Not sure how, or if, this concept is affected by indoor/outdoor growing though. Or just snip those suckers diligently as Captain suggested to be on the safe side. It be looking good regardless!
 
There are definitely pistils (or stigmas as our friend Korn told us) coming from inside the "ball". I will be watching for the next hours if it changes for a more banana like shape. tomorrow I will send new photos, thanks for your comment!
 
Yup, Korn seems to know his stuff! Great reminder about pistils/stigmas and calyx/bract. Always try to keep an open mind, "Open and Revolving" (Public Image Limited aka Johnny Rotten/Lydon) is my motto! Best of both worlds, Grower Rocker! Double bonus, with COVID I haven't had a haircut in months. Looking like Curt Cobain (RIP), Getting back in style like my 80's days. Good thing I have a job or I'd hear, "We don't hire stinking hippies here!", not that I'm saying hippies stink... It's Patchouli! Well, back to the watering, breaks over.
 
HOT DAWG! Those look female to me! They are definitively showing stigmas (pistils, to some)!
 
DW2 lol english isn't my native language as you can see, so sometimes I can't express myself exactly how I wanted! but I was sure that the plant was female, I was afraid it could be a hermie by stress you know? but now I'm more confident that it's just a weird-ass big pistil (or stigma) hahaha
 
Even if it is a hermie, in my experience, the seeds produced are female. All of my last four grows were from hermied seeds, and they all turned out to be female.
And as far as Your use of English goes, You are doing better than most 'native' speakers!!
