Are these banannas on my mature female flower?

She's spitting out male flowers - pluck off as many as you can find.
Looks like she's about done, how much more time?
 
I'm assuming that the plant is way past done and is starting to sprout flowers as a way for the plant to create seeds and survive. This has happened to me almost every time I've tried growing one plant at a time. I have to say how cool would it be if you could get Bananas from a plant, it would prevent from having to leave the room to get something to munch on.

Picture was taken today, exactally 9 weeks (63 days) from 1st pre flower & 1st day on 12/12.
I've been without a scope to check the trichromes.
It is my first girl.
Probably chopping it this weekend.

You are correct - its a last ditch effort to procreate. Not the end of the world, I don't see more than a couple weeks max left in that plant & that's not nearly enough to end up with mature seeds.
Of course it begs the question, did it do this earlier & not get seen?
In that case you will have some.

Save the pollen!!! If this is not a hermie but instead a female in it’s last ditch to seed, if you pollinate a female flower with its pollen on your next run, it will produce female only seed!
This is the best way to produce female only seed without inducing stress like the silver stuff does, based on what I have read here at RIU. S
