A week from being done there is nothing you can do aside from cutting any male organs you find off. If you already see a few seeds just leave it and harvest when ready. It wont be sensi but you'll still have some good smoke. Just find the seeds when your cutting it down to dry and remove them, you'll likely find you pollen flowers at the base of the buds you find seeds on. Good news is they are likely female or hermi seeds. Hope you find this relieving.

This is right. hermies are an inherited-resessive trait meaning. Offspring XX times offspring X would make 50% offspring XX and 50% offspring X. There are other dominant factors that can change this outcome. For instance if XX has more dominant traits than X you will see more of XX then you would of X.
Correct me if I am wrong or have made a mistake.

The only herm I had kept producing seed pods which spread from bottom to top of plant. Unless you found the pollen sacks late in flower, I'd be hesitant to risk your sensi. Now if for only a short time, maybe, but I'd be looking over every bud site every day and pulling those off. Maybe consider not running your fans or at least position the plant so that the pollen if dispersed might travel away from your other plants. Pollen and water don't get along, so you might be able to use that sparingly to neutralize perceived threats. I am not aware of a herm "going away", mine got worse.

That's a good thing. Now you have some femanised seeds for your next grow.
It's only a good thing if that's what you're going for. Remember feminized seeds mean weak genetics. Better to have an F1 mom for a year or so and take clones.

Why do feminized seeds have weak genetics? F1- your taking about the feminized seeds? How do the genetics get any better over the course of a year?
This dude has seeds that are homozygous, they'll "Breed True" keeping all the traits of the mother plant. He has a small staminate occurrence on one branch, that leads me to believe stress was involved to cause the hermaphroditism. Breeders will do the same thing with strains that they want to be homozygous. Feminized or regular seeds makes no difference in the two, there's a good chance in making the strain your growing right now some there down the line a female plant of that strain was made to self pollinate its self to keep the genotype the breeder wanted.

Pollen takes a while to mature. As long as you spray the plant down with a foliar spray that prevents pollen production, you'll be good to go.
