Ive read that some people pluck them all off, but if you have multiple plants or dont want to do that you could toss a trash bag over it and cut it to help contain any pollen sacks that may have opened up.
 
In my experience, plants that hermied, were due to stress and the climate not being in check. Eliminate any bugs from the grow medium and get your temperature and Ph in order. If your plants are still producing pollen after taking these steps, then it's just bad genetics.
 
I think it's important that home growers create seeds. A decade later and regular seeds are becoming more rare as many breeders and commercial growers have moved toward the easy way of using colloidal silver feminization and tissue culture. It's almost as if the industry will one day only have feminized seeds and the male plant will become rare. I make seeds every opportunity I can.
 
That early I’d trash it and start over. If it’s just for your head though seeds won’t hurt ya, but there is the possibility of being so seeded there’s hardly any bud in which case you can wash or sift it for hash. I’d start over though.
 
If they are stress induced, Optic Foliar's "Switch". 2 applications 7 days apart. I used it about where you are in flower and never saw another sac. That was on 3 separate strains, so I knew it was my environment.
 
Can ride it out, i had 1 crop go full on seed in the buds and i had another 1 where i caught it early and just stayed on top of it, checking them every 2 days and it was some of the best bud ive produced

Too much light, temps, humidity.. I can imagine if crap genetics get hit with a fan too hard they might wimp out. Dialing everything in is important, and not all strains like the same conditions.
 
I had a vent that I'd forgotten I'd opened, my lights are out during the day, cause I'm up at all hours, and when the sun was up as the lights went out they were getting mixed signals about dark times. This confuses the plant and she panics, starts rodelizing (commonly mis-labeled as "herming"), forming pollen to ensure her genetic survival.

honestly I’m thinking my light timer messed up a few times causing to seed or it genetics
I had my VPD on check through veg and flower
Ppfd was around 900 since day 15 so it wasn’t too high
I’ve seen people run 1100
Next round I’ll give less light and adjust VPD as well
And get a new light controller
