Bananas(?) on plant just after entering flower

Hey guys!
So I started flowering my 11 week old plant. It’s been growing outside for the vegetative period but took it inside due to cold autumns where I live.

I had some problems with my timer for the first couple of days. It wasn’t reliably turning on and off. For some reason it only sometimes would turn off and on when it was supposed to. This caused the light schedule to be disturbed quite a bit. I bought a new timer but now a problem has arisen.

Today I spotted what I believe to be male pollen sacks on my plant. I’m not really knowledgeable enough to know for sure though maybe it’s only the start of flowers so I though maybe y’all could help me out and confirm if these little things in the pics are in fact what I fear they are.

Also if these are male pollen sacs then am I completely fucked? Or is there any way at all to save her? It’s taken so long to to this point, I don’t want all of my work to be for nothing :(

I’d greatly appreciate any help!

Alright thanks of info. Also is my grow space now ”infected” by male pollen or will it be fine if I just throw the plant away now?

After you remove the plant wash the room down.
The idea is that IF the pollen sacks opened it released male pollen
Its in theory floating around the room carried on the fans wind. If you put somethimg else inside after the pollen was released, I'd be concerned it would accidentally pollinate my next plant. I'm not 100% sure. But if it were me ( which it was) I cleaned my walls vaccumed my floors and just cleaned for my next run.

My plant hermied out after leaving a light bulb on for 24 hours. A week or so later my gorgeous bugs had nanners.
Also pollinated 3 others in the room. OR they also hermied out. Regardless had to start over.
Not risking another plant catching those seeds

The sacs will turn yellow and you will see the pollen they drip. From the pics, they looked green and closed. You can see the pollen on the leaves if they opened .if they opened already the deed is done. Prob wouldn't hurt to wipe things down with a damp rag to prevent further pollination .

They weren't ready to spread pollen just yet you should be good. Out of 30 plants I generally have 5 to 7 at least.

This one was an extra jack herer seed I got for free when purchasing 10 northern lights.

If they didn't say they were fem seeds it was simply a regular seed.even if the northern lights you got were fem doesn't mean they'll give fem samples. It's a crap shoot when you get freebies.
