Is this a hermie? Will it polinate others? Do I kill it?

I just stared week 5 yesterday and this strain usually comes down at 62 days or so. I got this strain from clone and this is like the 6th run with it and I never kept a mother just always took clones off early flowering plants. I have seen a few random balls like this on the strain in the past but no clusters like shown in the pics. they are mainly just filled with liquid. I do find a seed here and there on this strain usually and maybe a banana or two towards the end of the cycle. Do I need to kill this pant. Im doing a 10 plant grow only 2 are this strain, the other pant of this strain only had like 2-3 single balls that i saw versus this one with clusters in more then one place. mostly on the bottom half thats visible on the more popcorn stuff.

Looks female to me.

I don't see any herms, but I do see what looks like a seed.

Some strains grow larger pods in buds and tend to smoke quite pleasant in my experience. The male pods seem to grow mostly in armpits of the bud near the pistils where you first see signs of female flowering and I have not seen them grow as the bud itself. There usually is a distinct difference and have BOTH male parts AND female parts. Unlike a bud that has been pollinated where seed pods will form throughout the bud....the vast majority of your bud seems to be GOOD pods leaving me to safely say...... pull it and mail it to me please i will dispose of that ugly sticky pretty thing.

Is it safe to keep around then? Its by far the smallest in the room id rather take the loss now if I should get rid of it.

Given you are so close to harvest I would pinch off the male growth and move forward.

I may be wrong but I don't see any definitive male growth. just morsels but if its clearly the same strain with totally funky growth from the others you have then pluck it. Like I said it can be a strains trait to bud that way but no way to tell unless you compare and contrast I just had a clone that was supposed to be "Ice" that nuged up like that and it was amazing and I didnt find any seeds in 9 other plants surrounding it.

looks like a female with swollen plump sumptuous calyxes to me bro. those nubs at the base look like seed pods, you may have brought a little pollen in with you on your clothes, orit could have snuck in through your vents, dont sweat it. 1 or 2 seeds is no big deal.
