Day 39 Flower Hermie Help

Well im frustrated.. this is my first solo grow.. and its had its ups and downs.. but .. has been coming along nicely.. Last night I was doing my normal inspecting while I was a little baked... and I found the start of a pollen sac ( banana) on one of my plants.. And of course its one of my more impressive plants. Now I really dont know what to do.. I went through the whole plant.. I found 2 total pollen sacs .. on a 3 foot plant. One looked like it opened. It was in the very bottom growth. The other was on one of the top buds.. that one was not open at all and just started. So now Im stuck on what to do .. I have 12 girls going.. this one that has show the two hermie flowers has all cloudy and some clear trichs... hairs are about 50 percent brown. Should I just keep doing daily inspections to see if more show up .. or just chop her down tonight? Im hoping the small bottom one didnt already spread pollen. I checked all the other plants around her and none have any hermie traits or pollinated parts from what I can see.. I scoured every inch of all the other plants.. no hermie flowers. I have 5 strains going .. so some have about a week to go .. some have 3 weeks to go... Its going to be more of a perpetual grow..

So do I harvest her tonight.. or just keep monitoring her incase no more hermie flowers show up so she can finish.. I will put a pic or 2 of her so you can see why I want her to finish.. she is looking SOO good!

This is her at day 30! she is 9 days past this now and getting frostier and fuller by the min.






Another shame is her color is coming out by the day.. She is turning purple from the inside out .

Let me know what I should do .. sit and wait to see if anymore pollen sacs show up... or just rip her out regardless. Guess ill have a better idea what to do tonight if more show up.. but I want your guys opinion.


Ill post some pics of her tonight when the lights come on .. she is farther along then these pics now

Well I would say chop her because in sure time will spread pollen. Also you say there are cloudy trichs and 50% amber? Might as well looks good. But I wouldn't chance ficking up the other girls...

Chances are if ones opened the damage is already done as im guessing theres a fair bit of air flow where the plant is, just carry on and keep a good eye on them i think.

No she is a female but had I found 2 bananas in her buds... one opened .. the other didnt... I sprayed her with water and cut the 2 out .. the trichs are half clear half cloudy.. so she is still imature.. Ill take some pics of her when the lights come on at 7. Has anyone removed a banana or 2 and had no more problems .. or do they normally just keep re appearing? God I wish it was lights on right now so I could check agian lol.. this dark time is killing me :(.
