Excellent advice, thanks. That’s what I was thinking, too.She's a man !
If it is only in one locale try to remove those peckers and see if they migrate to other parts of plant.
Has the plant been exposed or put under any stress you know of ?
Outside for now since light cycle should be reasonable, but with a watchful eye.
I’ve been a bit relaxed with occasional light in the room after lights out. I also have struggled keeping the room darkened at dawn and dusk. Otherwise this grow (my 2nd) has been pretty sweet.Has the plant been exposed or put under any stress you know of ?
True that, @Deadstill. But regarding zero light at night, it’s odd that the two of the same strain are affected (yes, it’s now both females, same strain, showing tiny bananas), while the other 3 strains/females are unaffected—for now at least. It suggests the issue might be stress after all, with this unlucky strain being sensitive to it.If I had the available room, time, and will to do so, I would quarantine that plant and keep it going - you'll at least have some decent mostly feminized seed for next year. Otherwise I wouldn't bother if I thought there was a chance it would contaminate the rest of my plants/buds.
If anything now you know the importance of keeping light leaks to a minimum during flowering period.
You need to deal with the light leaks and such and keep them totally dark or you will continue to have the same issue. Just my 2 cents.I’ve been a bit relaxed with occasional light in the room after lights out. I also have struggled keeping the room darkened at dawn and dusk.

My first grow I whipped like a rented mule and they showed it, but I got a few jars of super fragrant buds in the fridge. And no balls with that grow either.
Thanks! I agree, there’s evidence of probable light stress. I need to tighten up my sloppy light practices. Not sure I want to chase down boy parts on 2 plants for the next 5 wks, though. I may chop these 2 and focus on the plants from breeder seed. But I’ll store away this advice in case it happens again.Remove the male flowers. If they come from a flower cluster remove the entire node. This is almost certainly heat or light stress causing hermaphroditism. Check your light intensity and raise if needed . Also put in fans to keep temps below 85

Much harder to get to 12 hrs of dark in the bedroom when it’s light outdoors for 14 hrs/day. But I've gotten serious about the indoor dark cycle. The indoor plants seem to be ok now, just waiting to see how the hermies outdoors turn out. I inspected both closely today—it’s the first day there were no bananas. But they’re struggling through the switch from flowering indoors to vegging outdoors.You need to deal with the light leaks and such and keep them totally dark or you will continue to have the same issue.
