I have about 2-3 weeks left in flower and wondering if I should pull the plant if it is a hermie or just remove the banana like thing?

Also, you have a vagina in lower right corner of first picture. Looks healthy enough. No spots, no nanners and well-manicured... continue feeding as you have and re-assess in a couple weeks.

fyi, flushing at end of cycle does nothing to change the mineral contents of buds. this is a proven fact. less proven but still noteworthy is that conducting blind taste tests showed a 50/50 split of those who preferred "flushed" to "non-flushed" buds... so that basically tells you people have no fucking clue which is which, lol. (flushing is a response for severe root-zone imbalances causing catasrophic effects on your plant above ground... not a whimsical thing to do. it is highly stressful on the plant and in this context will probably only exacerbate nanner growth, if there was enough time for it to develop, which luckily is not the case since it's coming down soon enough. Flushing has a use. It has nothing to do with 'flushing' nutes out of the plant. That does not happen, ever. Plants have no waste system. If it can't be gassed off in transpiration/respiration processes, it's not going anywhere. DNA does not call for random molecules to be added to flower growth. it's not in the instruction set. Excess nutes are stored in leaves. Avoid smoking overfed leaves and you'll avoid those excess nutes... they are never stored in the flower. only building blocks following specific instructions laid out by dna for all molecule building needed for cellular reproduction)

They are photo plants and I did pluck a total of 7 off the plant, I did turn of the fans before I did, except for the exhaust fan that vents out side the room. I know the temperature has dropped significantly and has been about 64 degrees the last few days while the light is on. I did notice some light leak through the air conditioner a while back during the dark cycle. It's only happening to 1 plant out of 16. I'll keep a close eye on it daily and pluck as I see them. I just started the flushing process a couple days ago and would like to water at least 1 more time to get the nutrients out.

Pic one shows a single male flower. Do not worry, you are so close to harvest, that even if any viable pollen is releaesd, there will be absolutely no time for seeds to form anyhow. If you are worried, remove the male flowers as they appear, but there is no need to panic and harvest too early or destroy an otherwise perfect plant.

if you see pollen sacs, that's a totally different animal. remove the plant as gently as you can. pollen sacs come armed with a full compliment of male anatomy and 1 sac can give you 100s if not 1000s of seeds. Do not try to pluck a plant popping sacs. These are "true" hermaphrodites and not to be trifled with. all you have is nanners in these pics. Again, find them when they are green and they are virtually no risk. a few seeds in a plant doesn't ruin quality. That starts happening in a noticeable way with more prevalent pollination of the plant.

Lone nanners aren't too big of a deal. No need to trash anything or overreact. At worst you'l have 1 seed per ounce or so in that area. Pluck'em and move on. In future, catch them when they are green and no pollen is released. Keep a close eye on this plant until the end. Look over every bud site, daily. Pluck'em as you see'em. Consider any facotrs that might be stressing the plant - specifically in that area. Light burn, heat, light pollution during dark cycle (if photoperiod plant). Genetics can definitely be the problem, but stress can bring it out in a "good" plant, too. Some are just more robust to this evolutionary mechanism than others. They all have the potential to do this. Rodelization is an older method of creating fem seeds -- marijuana as well other sexually reproducing photoperiod plants.

That is. Nanner and it will pollinate your plants. I would remove it asap. You look almost done if not done. Enjoy your harvest. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱

Banana! 🍌 Yes, you need to remove the male flowers as soon as you spot them. Be careful not to release pollen when cutting them. Work with the ventilation system switched off, so that nothing flies. And if you can collect the flowers in a small airtight bag, that would be best. There's a trick to preventing this kind of hermaphroditism, caused by a lack of fertility: simply pollinate just one flower by hand each time you grow a new crop. This way, the plant will no longer have to desperately force itself to reproduce at the end of flowering. They also say that with the right timing, you can boost yields. But I've never delved into this aspect of the subject, the fact that I can calmly finish flowering is more than enough for me.
