Damn. I was reading to completely remove these kinds of plants.. I guess that explains why the bud i bought from the dispensary had seeds in it.

Should I get rid of it and start new seeds or is it okay to just smoke around the seeds?

Pull bananas off gentle without splitting sacks will be ok if you get them before they pollinate

That's going to be a bit difficult. If there are other females in the grow area. I'd remove the herme if you want to keep the rest as unpollinated females. If this is your only plant, don't worry, a herme has more thc than it's male counterpart. Smoke around the seeds. Think of it this way, male plants spend energy on pollinating and female spend it on buds. If a plant has both, then it'll split its energy so you'll get "weaker" buds but they'll still be smokeable.

It is the only plant! I do have some seeds i ordered from seedsman but I think I'll let this finish up as there are just 5 weeks left. If nothing else I can get some keif as I don't have a way to process rosin.

Check it each day and remove pollen sacs/nanners with tweezers.

Did this on a hermie when it was my only plant and it turned out beautiful and covered in trichomes.

I found (at least with mine) that after about two weeks it gave up on producing the male parts and put all attention to bud production.

a lot of people on here say hermie sacs are often sterile, idk if that means they dont make seeds or what but i'd just carefully remove it asap with a razor blade or something

Damn, that looks gorgeous! I hope I can get mie looking like that. I'm about a week behind you but I think if I check daily I might be okay?

You're probably right. That was a guesstimate based on some strain flower times I found online.

ya, just check daily and remove them from the little base. Less likely to open them up while removing that way.
