Need some help! Plant turning herm

Came in to check on my girls last night and found one want to be a young man when it grows up lol. What should I do? Is there anything? I did immediately remove it from the tent. Removed any sacks I seen with any male parts. Put it in a separate tent with a light and carbon filter. Does anyone know of a way to guarantee a save. Do they alway make a full switch once they start, or can if stop and remain a female? Is it a lost cause, should i terminate? Please help, thanks in advance.

Pics please. And if a full hermie might as well drop a new bean.

I’ve found some bananas on a mid-late flowering plant a few times and finished them out, trying to carefully pluck any pollen sacs before they open up… it’s a losing battle, you will have some seeds in the finished product, but if you grew a strong plant with nice buds and they have a few seeds in them, the bud will still be good… it really depends on your situation and time that you have available and weather or not you’re willing to start over…

Welcome to the forum. I agree a few nanners can be plucked. A full hermie with grapes is a pretty much wasted plant
Not really worth finishing if early in flower. Male pods mature and open much earlier than flowers in order to pollinate. Full bunches of grapes and they hit the trash for me.

I’ll grab some tomorrow. When I went today i didn’t see any signs of any new pods. When I pulled them off . There was 3 sets of 2 white seed sacs on 3 stems.

Are you currently in flower or still in veg? Nanners are seen on flower while sacs form during veg. Just curious, if your 7-8 wks in flower you can probably finish out before it gets too overloaded with seed. More important is the other plants, you could have a tent full of seeded plants like it’s 1980 lol.

4 weeks maybe 5

I quit picking nanners at a 20 count.
Toss or elevate to stud boy.
Seeds can be fun too.
But a real pain to recover from bud.
I got into growing because in the 70’s we had too many seeds in our weed.
Unless, you got the good stuff.
1982 the $200.00/oz was well worth the ride.
Six seeds in six ounces was the bonus.
4 males and 2 females.
So like a newbie, I chucked the males.
Lost the first female and the second taught me cloning.
2022 First time this century, I keep males and do get seeds.
Seeds are fun to share or grow from.
Best wishes for desired outcome.
Probably, females grow better un-pollenated, maybe.

Back to your grow, did the environment radically change, precipitating the Hermi?
I found problems can screw my lighting and being careful may prevent a bunch of hermis. You have a week easily before you need to finalize the plan.
If your just seeing them that is.

Valentines Day 2023 I had these “lovers” (M&F) together and later harvest seeds (while being upset about destroying the bud to mine seeds).

Sorry i haven’t loaded any pics. I had some training for work out of town. I’ll definitely get pics tomorrow. What’s crazy is I did swing by where I have everything to take a quick look ,plus i need to feed and water the girls. I couldn’t find 1 seed or bananas anywhere. I’m not mad. Mind is just blown.

I know that feeling.
