Plant has seeds

Today I noticed that my DP feminized euphoria plant had some seeds inside its buds.
I had to supercrop it on three branches a few weeks ago because it was too tall for my space, but otherwise it is a nice looking plant about 5 feet tall and the bent branches have a lot of buds.
I haven't checked too closely to see if the entire plant has seeds.
Can only part of a hermie have seeds?
It is at day 42 flower and DP recommends 7 weeks to 8 weeks for best results, and the other plants in the tent are also in late flower and look ok.
I have 2 to 3 weeks left for the plants I have in the tent, so I don't think that I need to remove it at this late stage.
Can anyone please advise whether it's better to harvest a hermie sooner rather than later to help its potency?

If you catch the banannas early you can limit the polen spreading but once they are open not only that plant but any others nearby will most likely become seeded. as to harvest early just preverence. sometimes the shit will finish good with some seeds, idk. good luck. and next time try a LST method instead of supercropping. your ladies will thanks you.

Thanks. The euphoria plant only seems to have seeds on one branch- the one I bent.
I've been checking the other plants and none have any seeds. They are in late flower, so is it likely that they would still develop seeds? Their harvest window is in 2-3 weeks.
Can a female plant herm and simply make seeds without having pollen sacs first, or is it impossible for seeds to happen unless the plant has been pollinated?
Pollen is so pervasive, and the fans would blow it around, so why aren't all of the plants seeding?

to produce seeds you need male flowers. hermies will make small male flowers that are hard to see but come out of the buds like little yellow bananas. if you have found those flowers i would guess other areas are affected just not showing any signs yet.

and no ive never heard of hermies producing seeds without pollen sacs. it really shouldnt hurt quality that much just sucks having seeds in bud for sure.

I doubt there'd be any or at least any significant potency loss this late into flower, plus you get free seeds

I don't know that I would want to use the seeds if they are hermies.
It will be like the old days again, when you got a baggie of pot and had to pop all the seeds out before smoking it.
I'll report back when I harvest them. Thanks.

Update. Well, after harvesting, I discovered only a few seeds on one small area. Almost all of the buds are seed-free.
