Found a couple of pollen sacs. Hermie question

Found and destroyed what looked like 2 very immature pollen sacs I found growing where I topped one of my girls a few weeks earlier. She began to flower and is next to 2 other females who are also in early bud development. I was unable to find any additional pollen sacs anywhere else on the plant. Worth keeping? or should I get rid of it?

It is well over 2 feet tall and significantly taller than its sisters. They are 5 weeks old and are from the same strain of snowcap seeds. The one in question isn't nearly as bushy as the other two. It was the first to get pistols and is the farthest along since putting them in flower 2 weeks ago. Like i said before, i only found 1 cluster of what looked like very young pollen sacs. I am worried about it pollinating my other plants.

Yup.. I understand, I think that if you're not 100% you can remove the sacs each time one pops out, you will just have to remove it or put it in another room far from the other two..
It's up to you

would you say that if you stay vigilant and keep removing the pollen sacks as they come around, you can make the plant worth keeping through to harvest, my 1 plant is a hermie and after removing maybe 10 pollen sacks i think I've got all of the ones worth worrying about at the moment

I would think that it is worth it man, that is if you have a small grow. This was my first experience with a hermie and I am very happy i decided to keep it. I removed 3 or 4 pollen sacs and have had none pop up since. All 3 of my plants look great and are flowering nicely. I'd say keep it unless you are growing many plants as opposed to a few.

i have another three seedlings on they're 2 and third nodes, but the bigger plant is now 3 weeks into flowering and my only one, I'm keeping it for sure, i have found more pollen sacs than you have, quite a bit more actually but i have taken all the ones i can and it doesn't look like more are forming
