Early female pistols "Opening"?

[HateHeaven]

Ive been flowering for a week and a half now. And I started seeing a few what looked like nuts on the lower nodes. They werent bunched up and there was only maybe 1 or 2. I pulled them thinking they were balls. Now some of the pistols at the top are opening up and looking like green or some kind of leaf is breaking out of them? Is this normal? Or do I have a herm? My camera cant take very clear pictures so I really cant take any at the moment.

Females have 'balls' too only they are actually CALYXES, which is where the seed will form if the plant is pollinated, and where the trichomes are most concentrated. Female calyxes grow singly or in pairs at each node, then pile up big time when the female is in full flower.
What you think are pistils at the top may just have been the fine new growth of small bud-leaves. True pistils are pure white to cream, pink, lavender, and even scarlet (rarely), pop out in pairs like a 'v', and have a slightly furry appearance under a magnifying glass.
Dagnabbit we should take up a collection to get everyone decent cameras, lol!!!
