Its a female plant, you have low experience and simply panicking. Step back for eight weeks and then pick some lovely bud.
White pistils means female - i see them.in one pic so its flowering. Herms seem to always happen to new growers so you jusymt got to carry.on eventually bud will have no seed in.like ten grows or ao maybe who knows. Killing herms isnt good advice if you can simply pluck male sacs and nanas off.
Good luck

Plucking seeds would be a waste of time, it's nanners or balls you should be looking for.
Seeds are caused by hermies, not the other way around.

Ok so what exactly are you saying ? Are you saying Hermies can’t pollinate ?

I agree with resinousflowers420...I believe you’ve got yourself a hermie. I intentionally hermie plants in one of my tents to make pollen for the purpose of creating feminized seeds of my favorite strains. I use colloidal silver, but I’ve done it accidentally by light stress as well. Here’s a pic of one of my hermies that started as a feminized seed.
If yours is a hermie you will definitely see more pollen sacks appearing in the days to come. You can also have just one or two branches of a hermie creating pollen sacks, in which case you can just cut them off.

And
Would I cut the whole branch off or just the sacs ? And would pulling sacs actually do anything to stop them from being herm

First you should spray your plants and tent down with basic water mist. It sterilizes the pollen, so if by chance a pollen sack busts opened while pruning you should be fine. Then cut any branches that have more than one sack at a single node site, but leave the pollen sacks alone or your trimmers could rupture them. Now, with the branch out of the way you have better access to the pollen sacks...take a moist paper towel & cover the entire pod of sacks with it & pluck them all off at once if possible, while keeping any pollen contained within the wet paper towel. Once you’ve removed all pollen sacks spray your plants again unless they’re still wet.
Watch for new pollen sacks every day. If they keep popping up I’d just remove the entire plant from your crop.

So pro whats he gona do if next week another hermed plant and the week after another - say he starts with five plants and four herm during the course of flower, you would rather he kills 80% of final yeild?
So ya looking at the bigger picture i guess yer i am pro since been here long enough to know better.
Maybe we should really go at it over drying and curing or a really decent sibject so others can eadily tell who knows stuff and whos making it up hmmmm..

Forget pics as more to the POINT "How have you and others not followed learnt and studied how to grow like i have?"
In reality im trolling you and hard

Maybe instead of talking out of your arse, you should show us your grow that you applied all your stupid pro advice. But as usual you're just blah blah blah

That is the exact opposite of what I said. Hermies pollinate plants. Seeded plants that aren't hermies can't.
If you can't find pollen sacs or nanners on the seeded plant then getting rid of it wouldn't solve your problem. If you are finding pollen sacs on it, then getting rid of it can help you avoid seeds on your other plants.
Finding the source of the pollen is your priority, then figuring out what caused it, if you can.
If the other plants are from the same source, ie the same mother if they're clones, or the same parents if they're seeds, then you need to figure out if you stressed the plant that went hermie.

U
Yeah these two were old seeds from a few years ago and they just so happen to sprout that’s why I’m not worried about killing them as I have new seeds but I also wasn’t that gentle when I transplanted them either so all that stress probably did it, I doubt there is any pollen just stress because I have another female who is budding up pretty good without signs of being a herm
