should i harvest this 3d? please help banana boats

My third dimension is at day 53 and TGA site says harvest window is day 45-55. Now i never go along their recommendations but by trichome color, but heres my issue. While scoping my 3D today i found a single green banana boat on one of the buds, and on a lower branch a full blown grown seed thats still very green but popping out. Some of the pistols seems to be attached to what looks like very small seeds (not sure if this is a seed growing, or stressed from being sensi, or if thats what it looks like from the inside.

I just moved new plants into the flower room to go under 12/12 and have jack the ripper and super lemon haze 7weeks into flowering that may have gotten some pollen from 3D and i dont want to get anymore. rather have few if no seeds than risk letting the 3D go longer

its trichs show mostly cloudy with clear and 60% or so of pistols have turned over

should i just chop her to be safe? i couldnt find any other banana boats but one or two spots where it looks like they may be growing out near some pistols

if shes that close to being done i would just chop her.

yeah i dont think its a hermie per say, just showing signs of bout ripe. I know some strains do that,a nd its happening so close to the end. Im gonna get strings up today and wait to cut her at lights on tomorrow since its best to cut right at or before lights on rather than mid day

I usually look at trich production on leaves, but when i just looked at bud itself i saw more ambers..id say 10% or so ? vs seeing like 2% on the leaves (one here and there)

You would want to cut that almost immediately. The less amber the better, amber = lost THC from what I gather and my experience. I harvest at the first signs of milky trichs. I would toss it on 48 hours of darkness and cut it right away.

I grew out some Agent Orange and it threw male flowers late in bloom too. I think I heard subcool talk of this. I don't remember the strain he was talking about but I do recall him saying that one or more of his strains had a tendency to do this. For me it happened so late in bloom that there was no worries. Fortunately the female that i'm gonna run with did NOT show this undesirable trait.

To your question, I would cut if I had young female in the room. GL

I too read Sub say something to that nature. I have a plant that did the same late, and it's best to go ahead and spare the rest of your garden. The bud will still be incredible, just with a possible seed here or there. Not the preference, but better than completely seeded.
ATB!

yah im pretty bumbed. This means my Jack The Ripper has been slightly pollinated along with my rocklock n possibly my super lemon hazes which i cant cut early since they still have to go at least another week or two

I have 12 3D clones, and 3 very nice bushes of 3d that i just started flowering in my other room and now im worried to keep them (dont want it to happen a second time)...Not sure if i should risk it or just get rid of them which most likly i'll do. Just buy a new TGA strain and say goodbye to 3D..maybe get vortex or deep purple ( i love grape taste), or something

trimmed most my 3D and found only 1 yellow banana and one green one...The yellow banana was out of the buds that grew out of my fan leaf...The buds i thought were so neat screwed me haha...
