Is this a hermie/nanners?

Day 32 from 12/12
Had a few days where lights and dehumidifier were running and it got up to 100° in the tent so I'm sure that stressed them. Anywho, are these nanners I'm seeing? What is my best course of action?
I would really really prefer not to bin the plant.

So, Next question. Are these balls? Is that how hermies work? Or am I just super paranoid now?

Those are calyxes. Seeds will form inside the calyxes. They are female parts.
Your plant isn’t a hermie. It’s a female that got stressed and is pollinating itself. It’s called rodelazation. A hermie is a plant with both male and female parts.
EVERY single seed you get will be FEMALE. Use them. I have thousands of seeds produced this way. People on here will tell you all the seeds produced will be prone to hermie. They’re wrong. Here’s this years grow all with seeds I produced the way your doing accidentally. Not a naner in the whole batch.732511E9-2ADD-41D8-9724-00D55ED192D3.jpeg141A1798-B022-4753-A0FF-D8233AF24613.jpeg5C4357D0-69DB-4865-B5AC-894FA96F86FE.jpeg

So in the first post, what about all those nanners? Is that a part of the rodelazation?
 
Ah, ok. So, hermie is genetic, rodelazation is stress? Next question, when (if, my hopes are still high) this thing starts popping seeds, that will take away from flower production, right? Do I just let it ride? Or do I wait til seeds start to appear and then reassess?

Rodelization is not only caused by stress........some plants throw out male stamens late in flower in a last ditch effort to pollinate and reproduce.
All you can do is pluck the nanners and ride it out.

Ok. Well, I think this makes me feel a little bit better. Lights just went out. Can't wait u til this evening for them to come back on so I can check her out again. Plucking those little bastards is not even a little bit fun. Those buds are sticky AF and I needed to shower afterwards just to get all the sticky off of me. Haha
 
Id have to agree with what is already stated..

You would not chop the entire plant for this, just take your fiskars and chop off the bananas to help keep pollen down some..

I had this happen with the Plushberry and she wasn't stressed..

Ride it out till finish--The weed will be good for smoke--just have to clean the seeds out like we all did in the 70s.
 
It happens a lot. I use a small stick-pin to get under them, at the base of the calyx they are coming out of, and then pluck out the entire calyx. Most of the time, they come right out.
I sometimes like to take my plants a few extra weeks into flower to get more amber, and I often see them popping up the longer it goes...horny lil' buggers! I usually get a seed or two buried deep inside one of the buds.

Well, I went in at it like a ham fisted fat fuck with a shitty pair of tweezers and just started yanking those fuckers out of there. There is a 84.63% chance that I made the situation worse. But, time will tell and I'll learn as I go. Lol

As long as it was under 85% you’re golden. :bigjoint:
Keep an eye out for repeat offenders thru end of cycle.

It looks like you have too much work there to do.
I volunteer to be your assistant gardener.
I'll work for bud.

:weed: :hump: :clap: :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
