Pistons? WTF!?
If it's yellowish and somewhat banana shaped, your plant has turned hermaphrodite on you. I don't see it in your photo either, but if you see it and from your description, you are the (not so) proud father of a shemale. If you have other plants nearby I suggest you move the hermie to prevent it from pollenating your other plants. If it's your only one, you can grow it out for some seedy bud. Keep in mind that your flowering period will be substantially longer as the bulk of the plant's energy will now go to seed production rather than flower development.

A piston Huh.... I guess I have been calling plant parts by the wrong name for a long time... I feel like a total dumbass.... And I cant see anything in the pic either.... It must be a very small male part.... Dam .... I can relate to that as well, I am totally depressed now..... good luck with your shemale....

If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. You got yourself a hermie, those banana looking things are pollen sacks. Or sometimes called "nanners" or "bananas" because they look just like it. Try and think back and remember if you stressed the plant out at all. any light leaks, did you leave the lights on to long or not long enough? you stressing them out? If not, then you might just have a natural hermie.
