Strange Question

Ok so I currently have 2 plants that are going into week 5 of flowering.

This morning I was watering them both, and I happen to notice a rather big sack (it looked almost like a male sack). I was in complete awe when I saw this considering I look at my plants every night before lights out, and I have not noticed ANYTHING that would resemble male traits.

So within seconds I went to go get some scissors so I could cut off this sack. I barely, and I mean barely touched it, and it just fell right off. I would show some pictures but it was pretty early in the morning when it happened and I was heading to work.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever experienced something like this? I was thinking it almost seemed like one of the sack like things where the white sex pistils come out (sorry don't know the name) but I wasn't sure. Now I was hesitant towards leaving that plant in there with my other one or putting it outside. Inputs?

EDIT: Oh ya and I also looked over the plant after finding this strange sack and I saw no other sacks or any sort of clusterings of seeds/sacks.

I have had this happen on LR strains before and actually when I left if for another couple days and got some of the biggest hairs pop out... was wierd. I never touch em til I get about 3 or more in one spot after that.

Thanks for all the replies. So I should be aight then? Cool. Yeah it looked like a football shape actually. It pretty much just looked like one of the sack like things where the white sex pistils come out. Phew, I didn't want to have to put it outside to finish, although I live in Florida, it's getting pretty damn cold here haha.

Gah, I just had some of these football pods show up on one of my flowering fems. I was very confused, about 3 weeks in 12/12. Some where by themselves and some where in clusters so I just assumed they were pollen sacks and I had a hermie on my hands. I found some inside the flowers as well, they just pop right off without any effort whatsoever. I chopped it down. Bad call?

i think your talking about male banana pods, its a fairly common thing, just take a little time and pluck them and look for light leaks in your room... just to make sure... hermies will look like actual pollen pods... the banana pods grow out of the stamins... it is a survival thing for the plants... some do it some don't

i think the rep thing is supposed to be at the bottom of the page but it doesnt work... i just went to edit my shit and changed the skin back to how it used to be, works fine now.

i do not no. i seems to me that those hairs their just swell up and ya it freaked me out the first time i saw them. you dont want to see that in your veg cycle.
That's exactly what some of these have done. Some of the hairs coming out were all retarded like, barely coming out. I have some that are straight up huge and perfect, then I have a few that actually came out of the sack brown and red like the hairs look like when they're done. Strange... but glad it's not just me haha. I'm certain these are not male pollen sacks tho. No clusters found anywhere, and like I mentioned this was the only one found on the plant.
