You can wet your fingers and pluck it out...the idea is not to spread pollen. It doesn't look like it's opened yet but odds are there are probably more.....
Up to you on harvest...it's hard to tell from just the one pic...but sure looks immature still. It takes weeks for a pollenated female to have viable seeds so even at 7 weeks into flower you probably won't get seeds.....

It's not a Hermie. It's just throwing out some nanners late in flower........it's called rodelization.

Sorry should have cleared that up....thanks @MickFoster these are just whats called nanners...still have pollen but a true herm plant will have actual male parts on it also and a lot more pollen to worry about.

A monoecious plant isn't really female at all. Shouldn't be considered female. "Female" plants cannot reproduce on their own and are categorized as dioecious. (same as males)
And far as intersex goes, all hermaphrodites are monoecious, but not all monoecious plants are hermaphrodites if that makes sense.
It's the inflorescence that categorizes them too, pollen doesn't necessarily have to be viable.
Cannabis naturally has both monoecious and dioecious phenotypes.
Rodelization is a made up canna talk term. A female plant can't rodelize or reproduce on it's own.
Yes, there absolutely are female plants that never throw balls or nanners, no matter the stress or environment, or how many times you grow it.
If you want a rabbit hole, we can't apparently yet tell a monoecious cannabis plant's chromosomes from a females, they're both XX constitution.
So you can seperate the boys from the girls so to speak via tissue sample, but you have to weed the intersex out through thorough testing.
One might say "ahah! XX constitution = female" when it's not the case, as both male and female flowers are present.
How much thorough testing goes on in the canna seed industry?
If your "feminized" plant from feminized seed herms, is that because one of the female parent plants was monoecious or intersex? (aka might throw a nanner or two late stage, or whatever, whenever)
I think that's a fair question to ask.
I'm not saying trash the plant if you get a herm, some aren't as bad as others.
Just saying, don't believe the bs about a plant throwing nanners or whatever, being your own fault, because of grow environment etc.
Or that a "rodelized" plant will produce feminized seeds, that's a very slippery slope. Feminized seed shouldn't be made that way, and the parent plants should be stable, aka dioecious, through thorough testing.
A tissue sample doesn't cut it.
