PISTILS ON THE SEEDS!?

calyx are buds. Yes !

The best way is to use regular seeds and proof cuttings from them to get a strong genetic female mother.
The fast way is to use femm seeds. You may need to use something like dutch masters reverse to keep from having femm seeds and banana's. not all femm do this but some do and can mess you up if you don't want even femm seeds.

One more point. A true femm can not go hermie. only banana's and make femm seeds. Fem seeds only have femm genetics and is what makes them more easily stressed out.

thanks man you guys help alot and i took a clone about 4 weeks ago i hope she makes it thanks again you guys are the best helps alot

What's the point of cloning a hermaphrodite? A hermie will only produce another hermie whether cloned or you save her seeds.A hermie is partly male and can also fertilize any other female plant within range. I agree with the other poster and when this one is done, you might have some good smoke but get some femmed seed or natural seed (watch closely for males or hermies and pull them early). I think next year I am going to try some femmed seed since my natural seed this year, out of 10 seeds, gave me 2 hermies, 2 males, one died and that left me with 5 plants which are doing great, already harvested one and a half:-)))

No. Seeds from a self pollinated hermie will almost always be a female plant. The same does not go for clones though.

To answer the original question, the "problem" you say you have is actually quite the opposite. Males plants produce pollen sacs that will hang off the plant and split open, showing what looks like a tiny little bunch of bananas. Female plants grow tiny teardrop shaped flowers (calyx) with white hairs called pistils that eventually turn red or brown as the plant matures. Only females can produce seeds- and only of a male is present to pollinate it.
