This is my first plant, been flowering for 8 weeks. These things just started on a few buds. Not sure what to do.
Those are male parts (nanners), try and pluck them out, carefully.

Could I just cut those buds off the plant?
Sure you could

just take tweezers and pluck them off or by hand not difficult but best to get them as soon as you see them before they swell and pop

They’ve already popped. But the good thing is male flowers in a bud usually keep the pollen local to whatever bud they came out of.

I forget that nanners pollinate pretty much as soon as they appear they don’t swell and pop my bad… weird plants I’ve only had one plant get nanners and it was a hermie for sure plucked male flowers from lower extremities every couple days all the way through flower and nanners didn’t appear until week 8 ish still only had about 30 ish seeds in over an ounce

I’ve found nanners on one plant. It was just on one bud and that bud produced two seeds. No more seeds in the rest of the plant.

The one I grew out had a bundle on every bud they only showed up once they went 10 and half weeks but I fought actual pollen sacs all the way through flower started like week 2 and as far as I know I didn’t miss any but who knows with those pesky balls, alls I know it took a lot more of my time and effort than ide like haha won’t be growing bag seeds any more ever unless I know for sure it’s good genes. After that plant I understood why everybody just kills them pain in the butt

Yeah see this one didnt have any sacs at all, I checked since the beginning. Its been in the flowering stage for a little over 8 weeks and these things just appeared recently. About 2 weeks ago my light, thats on a timer didnt turn off and was on for about 6 extra hours before I noticed. I’m not sure if that could have had something to do with this?
If they just showed at 8 weeks flower, she shouldn’t have time to develop seeds then.

Ok cool. Thanks so much!
Yea these guys are right, the plant hermi’d and gave you some male pollen. Dunno if this matters but I am seeing the downward curl indicative of a slight nitrogen over-abundance. You may wanna ease back if your adding that at this point in flowering

From what I’ve read, that’ll do it for sure. I guess light issues can cause hermies, nanners, and re-veg. I’m only on my second grow and haven’t encountered any of them yet (and hopefully don’t). Looks like you may possibly have some spider mites (tiny yellow dots on lower leaves), I had them first go around. Pistils are looking ready - have you checked your trichomes? Best of luck on your grow!
