I think it's just a little bit too early to tell, judging from your pictures, at least. In the second picture, it's kinda hard to tell if that's a pollen sac or a calyx developing. Give it another day or so, if the pod sprouts pistils, then it doesn't look like you have anything to worry about there. If the pod develops an elongated stem underneath it, then it's a male flower. If this is the case, just gently pluck it off, being careful not to use too much pressure and causing it to burst.

Thanks Mr. C. I will wait and see. I am growing a few others of the same and this plant stands out as different from the rest. If it is a hermie than I shouldn't worry about it ruining my other plants quite yet right ? I will leave them together for now.

Definitely not. If you're not looking to breed your females for seeds, I'd keep the plant even if it turned out to be a hermie, as long as it wasn't producing a ton of male flowers, that is. Having a ton of rogue hermie pollen floating around wouldn't be a good thing, and I'd definitely want to get it out of my flowering room. But if there are only a few pods, you can just pick them off as you see them. No sense in wasting perfectly good smoke just because the plant's a little confused. :jointsmile:

Ditto, just keep an eye on it and pluck those suckers off.
