Identifying a Hermie before it forms sacks or bananas

Seeing how my 1st grow has been hermitized, I want to be able to identify a hermie as soon as possible on my second grow, and get rid of it. I took multiple clones from my 1st grow so there is a strong possibility that one came from the hermie. When should I start looking for a hermie issue? I'm thinking 3-4 weeks into flower? or sooner, or later. Any advice and / or pics will be appreciated

Familiarise yourself with male flowers and how they look on a male cannabis plant. This will help you to determine a full hermie seen early during flower.

As for bananas you can some times spot them forming green bananas first, but due to their size they can seem to appear over night and can easily be missed even with a close inspection.

Next grow - I switch my lights to 12 and 12. After a few weeks start checking? How long until you can rest easy ( No hermie's )? 6-7 weeks into flower? I will study all the pics I can. Some things are real obvious.............

You can never “rest easy” with regard to nanners although really late nanners seem mostly harmless.
That said, I would be very observant around 6 weeks.
