Were they solid, or soft-n-squishy? Looks like either it's a couple of stray pollen sacks, a couple of old calyxes or a couple of seeds. If they are old calyxes, it's missing trichomes...if it's a couple of seeds, the're missing the calyx.
Or...could be a couple of rice crispies...

I can't really tell from that camera angle, but are they not male flowers that haven't opened yet ?

Likely a couple of pollen sacks, then.

Perhaps a hermaphrodite, but it depends. In my experience, if there were no signs of pollen sacks early-on in flower, it was likely something later-on that stressed her. Could be from new light leaks, irregular lighting schedule, overnute/undernute, ph swings, overwater/underwater, temp swings...
Usually a genetic hermaphrodite (unavoidably having both sets of reproductive organs) will show both sexes early-on in flower.

Depends on what you want to accompolish. Psycho4Bud trims, then cures. (your buds look great btw, P4B)
Psychos Baby Girls-3 (http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/150528-psychos-baby-girls-3.html) (twords the bottom of the page)
I remove fan leaves and the main stems, but leave all else. Especially if there's trichomes on 'em. Eventually, after dry and cure I'll clean everything down to a rollable mix anyway. (tossing remaining stems) Any 'lesser-quality' trimmings get lost in the mix, and I'm fine with that. After all...I'm still searching for the eternal buzz, and would hate to think I'm throwing it out with the schwag, lol.

Male parts can appear at any time, and are common towards the END of flower in some lines. Lucky you harvested before they had a chance to seed up your girlies!
