I saw this plant starting to have these waxy looking parts to one of the buds and I pulled them off because I thought they were pollen sacks. Will this plant pollinate my whole tent if I just leave it?
Is this a hermaphrodite? What should I do?

That ruptures and it will leave pollen dust everywhere. It could pollinate future grows.
Some people try to save a hermie by getting rid of only bananas. It's all very risky when pollen is around.
If you can, get rid of it altogether. If it's all you got, snip the boy parts. Always spray it down with water first before you touch it. That can knock the pollen down temporarily.
If one bursts, you gotta clean your whole grow area.

Ahh that’s a shame I figured that’s what they were. I read after purchasing my seeds one of the strains I’m running has a high likelihood of becoming a hermie

Ok sad news I was excited to have 5 plants but I guess 4 will have to do

Keep an eye on those. They may do the same thing

I had 1 of 4 plants hermi last grow. First grow and I didn't notice. Only the one plant was affected. I scrubbed down tent. Now I got a shit load of OG Kush seeds. Win Win

I'm low on seeds, so that sounds nice. Are you concerned about the hermie pheno expressing out of those seeds, though? Don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

After reading the strain is prone to hermi. I am more aware and thankful the other three are unaffected. I don't quite understand how other 3 didn't get pollinated. It might explain why My weight was 24 oz's on 4x4 grow.. lol

That's way weird. I guess the airflow was perfect such that all the pollen went across its own plant and straight out the exhaust!

Yeah this sax a lot, but maybe @Wizzlebiz gonna make some smile on your face...?

Are you referring to a grow of yours or do you mean the ones I took a photo of have already spread pollen? That would majorly suck

I needed to read it twice to catch the sense, you have killed it
Not laughing of OP in any way. Openned are just openned, this shit happens basically to everybody...

Those nanners are open on your plant from the looks of it.
Just so you are aware. If you dont see yellow pollen on the leaves below it your probably ok still.
Many nanners are steril just a FYI.
But not all. So if they keep popping up some will eventually have valid pollen.
