F61 Bagseed: Spotted Nanner, How to Proceed?

So I was doing a bit of watering and noticed this thing on a bud. I assume this is a nanner so I cut the small bud that it was attached to.
I'm 61 days since flipping to 12/12. The bud this nanner was attached to looks like this. . .

I have put the plant (first grow) in a good amount of stress (sadly). I had to bend/supercrop 4 branhes as they were getting too high (2-3 weeks into flower). Last week I had to cut another branch that was getting too tall. I assumed the light stress would have caused something like this, so I just cut the top of that branch off.
So my question is how to proceed? Here are a couple other pictures, but I haven't seen any amber yet (only cloudy) so I had been hoping to give it another week or two to fatten up (although genetics may prevent this) and ripen before cutting it. But if I'm going to be dealing with nanners from here on out, is it worth keeping alive for two weeks and dumping money into it (nutes)?
Here are some more pictures to get an idea at the plant's progress. . .

So what are my pros and cons of leaving the plant up vs cutting it down right now?
I'm assuming that once I see this one nanner, others will follow? Or could I be lucky and only see one of them?

I only have the one plant. I wouldn't be devestated with seeds, but it defeats the purpose to keep growing it if it's already pollenated and thc production has slowed/stopped. it's nearly impossible for me to inspect every single bud site on the plant. I'm only able to get this type of access to the front/top half right now due to how things are tied down in the tent

it's my first grow so I'm curious what my best options are right now.
thank you for your time.

If its onky the odd nanner here and there my suggestion is to kee her going and remove nanners as you find em. Or if really only a few jusy leave em and youll get a few seeds. Although offspring will be herm prone again.

in saying all that, ive had plants from seed throw late nanners then never seen nanners again running the same clones.

its safe to assume that your bagseed was made by nanners. Most bagseed is.

that's good to hear. thanks!

are these going to have a negative impact with the plant's thc production (as it would have if it were pollinated by a male)?
or will that only happen if I start seeing it grow seeds?

Yes any seed growth will take away from other plant production like trichs etc.
Again though, if its only a few it wont be noticeable.

You're so far along in flower....most of your pistils are red (not viable)....and it's not an oddity to have these plants put out the odd male flower once they're this late into flowering. Mother nature is trying to ensure the plant carries on. If you're only going to go a couple more weeks, I wouldn't sweat it...and don't worry, your thc production isn't going to fall off any more than it would without the male flowers and /or without seeds. You're golden, nice flowers...enjoy.

that's great to hear.

yea, most of the upper to mid canopy pistils have already turned. I actually just noticed the pistils on the buds at the very bottom of the plant started to turn color today too. was interesting to see how quickly they turned, and seem to have started turning at the same time. I was just doing some bottom canopy visual inspection yesterday to see if I need to add in supports for growing bud sites (on super thin branches)

I'm pretty sure most growth is done and am just waiting for things to start turning amber

and thanks again. I wasn't sure if the plant not having the big colas at the top were from the stress I put the plant through or genetics, or both. in either case, bud sites are everywhere (even if they are small) and I'm happy with how the first grow has gone. started with 6 plants. 4 were male. this one was picked of the two females I had and I just did basic LST with it (no topping)

am already planning the next grow too! looking forward to putting this grow in the books and starting another journey
