I found a sack on 2 of my plants, removed it then the next day I find a bursted sack on Fat Banana#1. Is everything pollinated? And also, can anyone check on the 2nd and 3rd pic, is that a calyx or is it a ballsack? I'm checking my plants every day and removing sacks.

Third pic looks like a calyx but you could pluck the sacs off before they open and if you are very deligent you could be alright. But it's going t be a battle friend. Sometimes the pollen sacs can shoot blanks but if you see pollen then I'd be worried

Hello everyone! It has been around 10 days after I removed the open pollen sack. All I can say is I am not giving up! I haven't seen any more sacks/bananas, and also the flowers are proggresing fine! I also didn't get rid of my 2 hermie plants. So it is time to select the best answer, and in my opinion that would be @BeautifulCraftRreddit Thank you everyone for your comments, really helped me!

Thank you guys for your answers, I picked the male flowers and I'm monitoring. In a week or two i will select the best answer, based on my plants, quantity of seeds etc. :)

Definitely hermie, nothing you can do to stop it happening. You can try picking every male flower off, but just one missed one can fertilize many, many female flowers.

only the first pic looks male. the rest look female. if you see pollen turn off your fans and clean it up with a damp cloth. all you can do is hope for the best

Thats an open male pollen sack if you had flowering plants near her they wont be flowering anymore they will be pollenated 100% Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :( This settles it though this is a pheno problem ive had two other growers have this pheno herm on them so it seems its a genetic trait with that strain. It happens to us all at some point :(
