Nope, female. The white hairs are the indication. These are part of the female sex organs in the flowers called 'pistils.'

Okay great, so in basically saying that males won't produce the pistils?

Yes that is correct. They are a female sex organ. The same way that us hooman have testes and ovaries. Lol.

Sorry had to be a bit facetious. Males will not produce pistils. They will produce pollen sacs that contain anthers.

I recommend you do a bit of research into basic botany. You may find yourself rather fascinated by the biological similarities between plants and animals.

We all contain a vascular system, a respiratory system, and a reproductive system. Well, most generally anyway.

first and second photo may show some single ball on node (better close up photos of the said nodes may help). so might be hermie then you 'll just have to pluck the ball(s) if only a few on nodes

Hm, yeah I see what you see too. Agreed. Close up photos would be beneficial.

Second video definitely looks like you have a couple pollen sacs developing. Looks like you do in fact have a hermaphrodite.

You should try to learn to recognize what this looks like so you can 'treat' it....
By that I mean you have some options, namely being pluck off the pollen sacs at the nodes and be on the lookout for any other intersex expression, or simply discard the plant and start over.

What genetic line is this plant? Or is it just a bagseed? It doesn't look like fantastic genetics to me, looks really stretchy and like it isn't going to yield but a couple little nugs. You may be better off starting with a proven cultivar with desirable traits.

If you do decide to grow out this specimen I would not be surprised if you find some, or many seeds in the flower and it will have pretty low potency. In that case I would implore you not to utilize the seed for further grows. The hermaphrodite genes will simply carry over to the offspring and you will continue to have bad luck.

How to Tell Sex of Cannabis Plants (with Pictures) | Grow Weed Easy

Learn how to find tiny pre-flowers at the base of each leaf to determine the sex of your plant in the vegetative stage (at only 3-8 weeks from germination)!

This is a good bit of reading with some good photos of what to look for to determine the sex of your plants. If you see both parts on a single plant then you have what has been mentioned already, a hermaphrodite. This is undesirable because the plant can pollinate itself and produce seedy, poor quality herb.
