Banana things on buds-Need Help-Pics

Hey all,

I noticed these banana shaped things on some of the buds of one of the plants in the closet today. I did some research and it looks like they're not hermies, but something else. These growths appear to be male in gender, but NOT the typical male balls you see on a hermie. I have some close ups of the growth on the bud and one of several of them extracted.

The part I could use help with is this-I cut it already because I don't want the rest fo the closet polinated, but should I save these "pollen bananas"? It came from a pure sativa strain that is good, but not great. One of the things I have heard is that these little bananas can be used to selectively polinate a few branches and you will get feminised seeds? I saved about 10 of these in a baggie so I'm wondering if I should chuck them or save them?

possible hermaphrodite?

you have a hermi. Those bananas are male flowers, sorry dude!

wtf! there like weird ass dried leave things. good luck fixing that though.

I've seen hermies firs hand tho, and it just doesn't look the same. Usually there are a few balls around the nodes of the buds when I have seen them. These are like growing right out of the calyx, different.

No fix, pull and smoke It's early, but I dont' want to risk missing one and having the rest of the plants go to seed.

The calyxes are covering the balls, you have a hermi!

intersex is what its called in the growers bible, there is a difference. This pollen is suppose to produce females. But like i said, i just read this out of the growers bible and have no actual experience with these "banana" things.

I was thinking it might be something like this more than a true hermie. Too bad the strain wasn't something better or the banana sacks could be worth using to make some seeds with another strain.
