Found my first Hermaphrodite. Hope i pulled it in time!

Doing my daily check up on my indoor and found this lurking right in the middle of all my plants. I'm a new grower so this is my first encounter with one. Wondering if I pulled it in time so I don't end up with a harvest of seeds, it would suck but I guess on the bright side I would have a good seed collection. What do most of y'all do with your herms?

Maybe caught in time, they didn't look open

When I have an hermie that is very far from being mature like yours I spray it weekly with water and hydrogen peroxide at a ratio of 10:2 water-3% hydrogen peroxide. That will make sure that the polen wont pollinate anything. It hurts having to spray your plants in flower but I guarantee you it works and I prefeer that rather than every bud having 10 seeds. It hermed very soon so you can expect more bananas in the future, when the buds get thick its harder to see them hence why I spray, also I cant get to the ones that are in the back of the tent.

I cant afford to get rid of one plant thats why I do that but if you can get rid of it do it. Thats a freak with regular polen sacks and bananas, its gonna be a headache. But if you have to keep it to replenish your stash I highly recommend the hydrogen peroxide. Doesnt leave reasidue, its not inocuous because it slightly burns a bit when decomposing but honestly, that promotes the production of trichomes and Im pretty sure of that. I would lie if I said I didnt use hydrogen peroxide in a plant that I wasnt happy with the trichomes, but thats just my bro science and experience and I cant recommend people to do it because spraying your buds can very quickly lead to mold if they dont dry properly.

I'll keep the peroxide & water mixture in mind in case I need it. I'll end up calling this one, my raccoon likes the fresh plants to chew on, so I'll end up cutting it down and drying it for him to chew on. I can afford to let this one go had a good past 2 runs so it won't hurt my stash at all.

Sometimes, pollen sacks will develop on lower branches a few weeks after flip.

I just remove all of it and carry on
