If on a female only one stem shows the offending seeds developing, can I cut that stem off to make it stay female? Or is there no hope? Please advice, it will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

Pull the pollen sac of not the branch, hermies happen - you can stress and kill things or you can do your best to manage the situation and get to harvest.

When one of the bananas already opened, you can be pretty sure you already have buds full of seeds. When not, take it carefully away and pray...

It’s not the end of the world, and you’ll get free seeds to play with. A lot of growers will tell you those seeds will be worthless, but there are plenty of growers who grow out seeds from self pollination, and those that were pollinated from another herm in the tent, and get some great plants out of them. They will have more of a chance of growing hermaphrodites, but everything I’ve read seems to point to about a 25% chance of the seeds being hermaphrodites and the rest being females.
