Would you keep her?

So I've been growing this Headband strain out for a few runs and I've never had any problems but maybe a little banana here and there at the very end of flowering. An excellent strain if you ask me. So I go to my flower room today where all my females have been flowering for about 3 weeks. Every few days I check each individual plant for bugs and what not. I notice some new growth from one of my females that has about 4 man tops. One new top that has grown in the last week perhaps has developed male pollen sacks (not just banana's) along with the buds. I've seen this before all over on a herm'd plant, but never just one single shoot/branch.

Question is, I cut that shoot off and looked at the rest of the plant and noticed zero pollen sacks/banana's. Should I be concerned that this plant might pollinate my other strains in the room later or was this just a one off herm shoot. I don't mind scraping the plant, but if it's not going to produce any more pollen sacks I don't want to trash it.

Has anyone came across something as weird as this. I've had full blown hermies and plants that have hermed at the end of flowering but nothing like a single shoot herming. It's a first in my 7 years of growing at least 10 strains. Looking forward to some of you guys answer's.

Yeah, I'd just hang onto it as long as you've gotten rid of the male, or hermie parts, and keep a close eye on the rest of it for anything weird... Mabye itz just getting old, and itz time to start some new beans, and try to take clones to keep it going, instead of reverting over and over again... Thatz probly all it is... Itz just gotten stressed from the constant re-vegging, and all that... Headband is an awesum strain, so, mabye just try to finish flowering it this time, and let her go after this run, especially if u have more beans, or can get some more beans, and just start a new run of Headband altogether...
