Stress hermie or just genetic?

Near the center of this and the next picture I have located what I believe to be "bananas," I have done some research that says it's somewhat common for a plant this late into flower (73 days since first pistil) to produce them and not to worry. Other sites say it's a stress hermie, but I have been extremely careful to not allow any amount of light once lights are off so I'm not sure... The plant did have a pretty bad Cal/mag deficiency that showed about day 30 into flower but I think I got it under control as all new leaf growth did not show any sign of deficiency. Any ideas?

The plant in question. Other 6 are a mix of 3 sour grape and 3 bagseed, the latter being the same seeds as the big plant in the center. That strain has a very strong lemon/pineapple smell and is very, very sticky. I had two more plants of the same variety that I was forced to crop out at around day 50 due to an unexpected change in my living conditions :cry: but I stil got better than 3 z's from each so that helped ease the pain!
When I switched to flower:

They grow up so fast :???:

If indeed this is a stress hermie, should I chop the plant now to prevent pollinating my other 6 plants? Thanks in advance!

I dont even see anything that would indicate that is anything but 100% female.

Am I missing it?

What you are probably looking for looks like two tiny yellow-green bananas tucked away in the bud just poking out. But I dont see any of that. I see swollen calyxes, pistils, and "sugar leaves" which are all good.

A "hermie" is not the same as a female plant throwing out a few "naners" late in flowering. Most will do this if left flowering long enough. A "hermie" will have both full male and female flowers and will be much more evident earlier on.
