kind of large aint it?
if it is a nanner don't freak out and trash the plant, just keep an eye on it, many plants will throw a few then settle down, if it keeps throwing them you may need to get rid of it

Yep! That's what I'm referring too. If it is how long do I have to get it out of there?

till it pops open and spew pollen all over. if you think thats a nanner go ahead and get some tweezers and pull it now, no point in waiting. if it is one, keep a daily eye on that plant, twice a day if you have the time

Yeah just looks suspect compared to everything around it. No freaking out necessary unless they start popping all over the plant.
@Tigerpaws sometimes lighting/flash can play tricks but good eye, definitely suspect and worth monitoring it. If it is, it won't spew until it matures which could be a few days, you have time to keep a close eye with a loupe or grab some macro pics of the spot.

Look at the pic above where GroErr circled it.

Yep that looks like a gorillas wet dream. No need to panic. Take them out of room and carefully remove bannanas. Then just moniter It. Some plants pop a few but once you remove them they stop. Just dont do anything drastic and trash it too soon

So remove them and then put it back? I have to leave for work now and won't be able to do it until tomorrow at 3 pm. Is that OK?

I dont wanna say you will def be fine but as long as they dont open you are fine. You seem like you check plants often so Id assume they are new and have awhile to mature.

No worries man, if you have a lot of plants in the room and you think there's any chance that some of those nanners could blow. Just leave it in the dark until you get back from work and get some time to deal with it. No big deal doing that and it's already hermied so it can't get worse

OK. I'm going to take it out of the room. How do you remove them? With a blade? Maybe I should just trash it? Im afraid I won't get them all.

Stamen (bananas) are already open. They are the part inside of a true male flower. If they have appeared and they have viable pollen the damage is done. You will see browning pistils and swelling seed brachs (calyxes) soon if pollination occurred.
More commonly they have weak or no pollen and a few bud seeds may result. Likely below the buds with the stamen.
This tends to occur from plant stress. Primarily nutrient stress from under or over feeding. I have also seen them appear right where a light leak hit them but most breeders stress breeding stock for light.
Just remove them and mist a little water to disable any pollen that may remain.
If it gets out of hand you have to make your own decision. But any seeds that result will be feminized. And it is a myth that the "hermie" trait will follow the seed. It's stress that makes plants reverse.
i usually do a mild flush and a lighter general feed to clear out excess salts and "re set" the plants roots when I see this. To be sure no further nutrient stress happens.
Hope this helps.

I had the same thing happen with my last grow and this, im pretty sure is a clone of the plant that did it. I got my clones mixed up. Is it possible its just a trait of this strain? It was a bag seed. I don't think it is stress related.
