Newbie, help please, see photos, one of my plants is starting to develop balls, some look like male flowers others have a pistil poking out, The plant has been in flower about 3 weeks. If this is a hermie will it produce pollen and fertilise my other females? Can i cut the balls of any continue to flower the plant.

They are some bagseed that have been growing outside in household compost and im forcing them to flower.

Any help and advice will be much appreciated.

trying to upload photos, got them in my gallery but it wont let me add to this post, says remove urls from your post, advice about getting photos on your posts would also be appreciated.

sounds hermie. some buds can look hermie but it's just their appearance, but given these were from bagseed its a lot more probable that they're hermie

You may need to have more posts before adding photos.
Can a herm pollinate other females in room? Yes.
Can you cut the balls off and still flower? Yes, BUT you must do this 3x/weeks and it is VERY likely you will still miss some and get seeds anyway.

It's your call on whether the bud weight (will be seeded) from that plant is worht risking seeds. How important is sensi to you? Will you be satisfied even if you have to de-seed before smoking?

Take a look at Dutch Master's "Reverse". It will stop the balls from forming and prevent the buds from seeding.
