Those are pollen sacs.
Your plant has reversed sex.
Aka "hermied"

Oh man!.. and they've already popped smoke... it happens. Sorry bud. Clean the shit out of that room/tent.. mist everything down with distilled water.

Ok so here's the low down. You have had a pollen release. No question about it. I can see open pollen sacs, and pollen itself.
Some of the brown pistils you are seeing on the flowers, have been pollenated. The buds will begin to grow seeds.
If this bud is just for you to smoke, it's still useable. Don't panic and chop everything down just yet.

Glad I don’t smoke it and was only given the plant bless it, it did so well lol

Try again.. keep a closer eye on the next run during the first couple or 3 weeks in flower. This is when you will most likely find them... the earlier, the better if your others are doing well.
Been growing for 7 months and only just appeared.
I was reading it could be stress related and not surprised with the change in climate here in the tropics as gone from hot and sunny to wet and humid. Plus 3 weeks ago I started putting it in the shed to reduce the sunlight from 14 hours a day to 9-10

Im sure if you had looked 2 weeks ago, you would have found them...IF you knew what you were looking for. But, you didn't, and that's ok!. It's a learning experience. But like Chip said, if you dont mind fumbling though a ton of seeds for your personal use, then finish them.

That looks like a true hermie that would probably do that even under perfect conditions. Bananas are usually caused by stress, but could also be genetic. You should read this.

Just keep in mind that anytime you change anything drastically (like changing the light cycle 3 weeks into flower), you're opening yourself up to hermies. Herms happen as their survival mechanism. If they feel like they are going to die due to stress, heat, over training, etc, they will attempt to self pollinate themselves in order to continue their species.
1st lesson learned was the months they was grown in(not that they were mine to start with)So hopefully come the end of the raining season in May. I’ll give it a go myself as I’ll have 8-9 months to grow them
Outside before the humid monsoons are back, as I am tending to put them back in the shed when it rains during the day, but I do leave the doors open. They were doing so well. Oh well someone in the family be please for a free smoke, even so it will have seeds.

Haha.. yeah, the bad thing is, it's not going to get any better. I think I have 3 different strengths of glasses. I have to have 1 for medium distance, 1 for arms length, and one for close up trimming.... it's a bitch getting old.

Haha. Ya my wife got me a cheap pair of reading glasses for Christmas a couple years ago kinda as a joke. But the joke was on her. They were actually really helpful, so I went to the eye doctor for the first time and got a prescription set of readers. I think it's time to go back cause my eyes aren't improving. My grow lights aren't helping anything either, lol.
