Burn it
Edit; looks herm. Better up close photos without those lights on would help but unless you won’t no smoke and a million herm seeds, refer to thee above.

It’s either one of the worst cases of a hermie I’ve seen or light bleach can’t really tell from the lights

Looks like you’ve been in trouble for some while!
Any light leaks?
Take a photo in natural light.

It’s too late for that plant my friend. Fix the light leak and kill that plant. I’ve grown several Hermies out. But the Hermies I’ve grown might have 5 or 10 pollen sacs on the whole plant that I easily removed. You couldn’t successfully get all that off.

Still hard to see. There’s a thing called ‘zoom’ 
Yes, sorry for the pics, was in a hurry and my phone camera takes me time to take good pictures. I will update in a few hours with new pics, when lights turn on.
In the meantime i have a question about those "things": i would say that they appeared, i've never seen the bananas popping out and forming onto that. I don't know how the process would be: should bananas have popped out first and the turn into that "balls"?
Went to a grow shop and the owner told me to take a good lock on the branches where the plant shows it's sex. Will do it when lights are on. Don't know what to understand with that although. Let's say i see no male organs: does that mean the plant is ok?

Well, my camera is as bad as me for taking pictures.
So another set of not still best photos. Will get another camera and provide you with better pics.
I didnt see any male organs while inspecting the plant, and the white thing looks more like something "meaty", but im not experienced and may be seeing just what i want to see.

Are they below the top canopy too? Or only on the upper buds. Light bleach if it’s not pollen sacks
Only on some of the top buds.
I have a question:
In order to become hermie, the plan does first produce male organs aka pollen sacks, that open and self polinate the plant?
Or hermie buds can appear without the prior apparition of male organs at the nodes that then open and polinate itself?

Yeah basically the buds form then due to various stresses or genetics (bad luck) it flips out and grows pollen sacks to seed itself.
Clever plant.
So if i didn't find any male organ/pollen sack that could auto polinate the plant, options lean towards light bleach, right?
And, as you said, the problem is on top of the buds...my first guess is that an open pollen sack would also hit lower buds.
Anyway, today i'll try to get a good phone/camera and decent pics.
