The stigmas are orange indicating pollination.

What makes me think it's pollinated is that only those swollen calyces have orange hairs.

@biggerbud420 a male flower will never have stigmas. They can be mixed in with female flowers ... sometimes even growing right out of the center of a bud ... A male flower looks a lot like a "spade" from a deck of playing cards. They are segmented (immature bananas) where female flowers are never segmented.

Here's a male flower pic from a boy I culled over the holiday weekend.

A male flower will never have stigmas (hairs). Look very carefully within your buds. Use a magnifying glass if you need to. Late flower hermies frequently show up in a dense nugget where you would not expect to find it.

That stigma has done it's job ... there's no longer viable pollen on that particular stigma ... it shriveled and died as the ovum was fertilized. The fact that there was pollen has nothing to do with the female flower that held the seed ... there's a male flower or maybe more than one male flower within your sea of green somewhere.

Sup farmers,
I'm new here and maybe I can chime in, I had a plant do that, after clipping a bunch of leaves, I was told I stressed her out and she became and a "Hermie" Hermaphrodite, in veg stage all the way through flower, I just let it go, because it was a single plant nothing in harm's way and I thought I would get seeds, I didn't know I never saw that before, but no seeds, anyway I believe they can pollinate like a male..... can that be a possibility in this case

I think some people are confused about what a hermie is. It's a female plant that has grown male flowers in amongst the female buds or along the internodes. The way I'm reading some of these posts seems to suggest that some people here believe that a female flower can also be male. That's not possible. Keep in mind that the bud we call a flower is actually comprised of many thousands of individual female flowers ... and sometimes a single male or small clusters of male flowers grow in the bud too. It happens. Using about 4x magnification through an easy to use magnifying glass makes these male flowers much easier to find.

I just scanned the post and n organics knows what’s up - but in the first post you mention you pulled off balls? If that’s the case you should have pulled the plant if it’s a herm that early we’ll just gonna be trouble imo
