A hermie plant will produce pollen "sacks" (male flowers) for the entire time that it is flowering............right up to harvest. It is not as though they have them for the first three weeks of flowering then stop,,,, as long as the plant is flowering, it will keep producing male flowers.

once it opens up, a full pollen sac has the anotomy to produce pollen until it dies/falls off the plant. Lone nanners are less worrisome. Quite often lone nanners won't even be viable pollen. But a complete pollen sac is a major concern in regard to pollination. You could pluck it and see if more form. There's a chance it was caused by some one-off stressor that is no longer an issue. Check for light leaks etc, but even over-pruning 10-14 days ago could do it.. that sucker has been growing for a while at this point, so if stress was the cause look back 10-14 days ago or so. Better look through the rest of the canopy, too, they can hide easily. If you see soem brown pistils way too early, that's a sign some pollen was in the air already.

I had a bunch pop up on a grow I’m in now. I ripped them all off in hopes they wouldn’t come back. Well.. they did. Not as many, but still back. I shoulda probably killed the thing but I didn’t. So far it doesn’t seem like it’s affected anything, but only the end result will tell me. Decide if it’s worth the risk to keep it

Pollen sacks are one and done. They grow and mature, then once they open they release pollen for as long as its viable for. It gets airborne easily. so fans spread it around. Water deactivates pollen so if a pod is close to opening or is open. use wet fingers and pinch it, try to avoid it spreading around. If that is a pollen sack aka male parts "not entirely convinced from the pic" then the plant is likely going to make more. Sometime plants push out some sacks late flower but if they doing this early flower its something you will be looking for till its done. and your likely to miss one and it will produce seeds. Don't use these seeds to grow or it encourages plants to hermi from light stresses. Pollen sacks are coco pod shaped and hang off a mini branch, not to be confused with a nanner. a naner is a single pollen spike "anther" coming out of a flower without forming a sack. nanners normally have low pollen count and low vitality and tend to only make a seed or two around the site of where they emerged. Sacks are a whole different ball game. One sack is comprised of many anthers and the vitality of its pollen is high and its count is also high, thus it can pollinate a whole tent in good conditions. monitor this growth and if your worried place some plastic wrap around it till you know more.
