Hermied Plant. Do I remove

I noticed today (Day 26 flower) that one of my plants has developed pollen sacs (circled in photo). There is visible pollen dropping on leaves. I pinched all of the sacs I could see as seen in the second photo. Should I keep pinching or remove the plant completely? It is the smallest of the three and the buds are noticeably smaller.

Also, are the other two plants in the tent most likely already contaminated, or do I have a chance of preserving some sinsemilla?

Please let me know!

I would remove them as soon as possible, but the damage is mostly done. Hope you get some good smokeable bud still.

spray those sacs with some water or h202 solution before moving em about.

some plants only get a few hermie sites so, you can actually just remove the male sacs you find.. and keep looking

if you are in a large op it makes sense to get rid of them

I only had one full blown hermi so far, it was a CBD plant and showed itself mid flower

Good idea spraying them first.

Hmm mines a CBD too so same deal. What do you think. Should I cut the SCROG and take it out of the tent in the morning or should I keep pinching and hope it doesn't produce too many more male parts?

I regret pinching the pollen sacs. I probably just spread it around.

You definitely just spread it around. Do you have a handheld pump sprayer? Spray ALL the plants down good with water just before the lights come on...That will kill any pollen floating in and on the plants, then get rid of the hermie plant. You are bound to get a few seeds, but you may be able to keep it at a few.

If it were week 8 of flower, I'd say keep pinching, but you have too much time left.

Crap. That's one way to learn I guess hahaha.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will spray and pull it out in the morning.
