HERMIE on 9th week of flower should I pull??

Can someone confirm this is now hermie? Tons of tiny little seeds in my White widow on its 9th week of flower. Been having very slow bud production I believe due to salt buildup in the soil, I never did a pre-flower flush... Should I pull this down now to avoid it affecting the others? Or should I keep it for another couple days w low light to push a bit more THC out of it?

Have you found the nanners yet? If you don't find them on that plant, then maybe one next to it, or upwind? I'm not an expert on seed production, but have had hermies before and the seeds you found look at least a couple of weeks formed already.
If I were you, I would try to find the nanners that are present or are forming and cut them out as thoroughly as you can. Depending on how widespread the seeding is, and when you planned on pulling these plants anyways, you can judge what will still be smokable and what should probably be turned into concentrate.

Well I looked on the others and no signs of the banana lookin things...it got pretty hot in there for a while around 95F. So is there no pollen it's just generating hermie seeds?

Temps could be the cause for sure, but herms actually pollinate themselves rather than just growing seeds. so there will definitely be some bananas somewhere.
How long ago was the hot streak? Be super thorough when looking for more seeded buds, they can be tricky to spot. The calyxes will be much more swollen than those in the bud next to it.

First time I grew I had a large super skunk that I didn't see was seeded until almost chop time, and then I only ever found one pair of nanners.

Keep it. Grow the seeds next year. Seeds are expensive!

Agreed my last grow has produced about 20 really good seeds so heck that is lot of smoke. The plant itself turned out fine just a couple buds had seeds I found the nanners and removed I think so believe that help limit the seed production as I noticed it about a month from harvest.

I get seeds all the time in buds. Not from my grows. I think I got one seed in some of my stuff last year. Didn't even notice till I was breaking it down. Every so often weed I get from the dispensary will have a seed in it. I'm always pumped when I find them because I only buy the best top shelf. If I don't grow from clones next year I'll grow some of the seeds I have gotten in bags. I always save them and label them in separate little bags. I have about 10 or so.

Using those seeds will in all likely hood result in more of the same shit. Don't use them! Throw them away, make some nice oil/hash with the weed, and be done with it. Once a herm always a herm lol. Start again with a more stable strain would be my suggestion.

Disagree, I had a hermie last year and grew out the seed and it's some bomb nannerless weed man. It's actually quite rare to have a plant not pop out a nut or two

Looks like a wild one , this is how I describe the females that throw pollen in mass upon themselves . This trait is simply natures course taking place and a majority of the offspring will have this trait too being self pollinated . These would need to be crossed with new genetics and combined in order for sexual stability .. Sadly it looks like you missed the male clusters at week 4 or about .. They are often in the lower crotches but can also be found deep and hidden in the bud itself . Herms - they are not all the same even though most people will parrot so

thing about seeds is on a girl u may find one seed they do it to propagate her self...if ya do it will be a girl, a hermie may or may not be a girl. 15 gallon pot, I want to be sure its a gal

Well it is pretty rare in my indoor grows to throw out any seeds. It is my understanding that If a plant hermies then it has that dominate gene. Yes most all have that gene but hopefully recessive . Again this is my take and I may be wrong. If a plant shows a tendency to herm then i believe it is typically removed from the pool. Glad to see there not seeds though,it kinda looked like it was full of them from pics. I myself would not grow a seed from a herm as my space is to valuable to gamble.
