same happened to me man. 3 for 3 girls in my cab no males ever in there and i plucked 2 seeds from 1 plant. never saw a pollen sack or nanner. bet the seeds were there clear as day. i imagine one went herm on me but not bad enough to do damage.

Time to check for nanners, if none are found keep in mind that a male plant's pollen has a pretty big radius for spread. Also if you had a hermie or male let off pollen and didn't clean your cab/room out residual pollen could pollinate as well. If you don't notice any other beans you should be fine, if you do then it's most likely hermie. If that's the case then clean your cab/room after this grow and I mean scrub down everything. Sucks but better safe than sorry as we all strive for sensi-milla.

Hope this helps some.

Like the holy savior said, it's completely normal.
If you flower too long, your plants will throw out male flowers as a survival mechanism. True hermies will develop a few male flowers along with the female flowers and can be spotted early on. They can produce a lot of seeds. Forced hermies develop male flowers later on and only have time to develop a few seeds.

Female MJ is programmed to grow a few male buds if flowering goes too long without seeding, and stress/light leaks lengthen flowering time. Hence the mantra "light leaks cause hermies". They're not true genetic hermies and their seeds shouldn't have a higher ratio of hermies. If anything, they're more likely to be female.

Lol...i searched every inch and i only found two spots...the first one and theres another seed growing on the other side of the plant..so icjust thought of something about three weeks ago i was away and had a friend stop in to check my house...well hes the one who helps me. .So im pretty sure since hes a retard that he probably.cranked up the lights and sat digging around looking at em..would a break in the dark cycle cause a plant to hermi like that? I never open it in the dark im not the type to go look at em every ten minutes i got over that my first few times. Lol....i think back now and i have memories of standing over my son when he was a baby at like three am just staring..totaly in love with him..i also have memories of standing in the doorway at three am only its a growroom im staring at...totaly in love...the girls always come second to my boys but i do love em.

Bingo! It doesn't take much, but if it's late in bloom and not a lot of banana's you are probably fine. Some plants hide them better than others.

If they popped because the plant is over-ripe, I wouldn't call it a trait... it's just one of those magical survival instincts cannabis has when it thinks it is going to die without pro-creating. No male around? No problem..the plant will find a way :weed: I would just harvest a little sooner next time.

The banana's that pop up before 6 weeks are the ones that tick me off. Best not to grow them again and carry on the hermie trait...if it's a clone, it will happen again.

I don't think having the lights on once for a brief time would be a big stress, I have done worse without turning plants hermie.

Happy gardening!!
