Hermaphrodite/Perpetual Harvest

Hey guys, was looking over one of my plants and i noticed some weird things. The flowers started to decluster on one of my plants.. its the only way i can think to put it. After pulling it out and looking under the florescent lights i see what i believe are pollen sacks, and possible formations of seeds. Need some input. This is my third harvest and i haven't had to deal with this situation before.

The room that this plant is kept in also houses about 4 other plants that are 3 weeks behind this plant, and then 4 more that are only about 3 weeks into flower, then 2 more that are 2 weeks in. This main room ties into another closet, in this closet i have my veg compartment, and above that another small room where i start flowering the girls. This room is then sucked through a carbon filter , then pushes the air back into the garage (to keep the warmth).

So my questions are these:
1) Do the picks look like herms? and if so, i can not find any solid seeds as of yet on this plant
2) The plants that are 3 weeks behind, look perfect, very crystally and no declustering like the apparent herm. Should i just grow these out and hope for no seeds? Or should i pull now before they likely grow seeds.
3) Will the carbon filter catch the pollen, or is it simply cycling back to the main garage, then into the first room, the second and the third (effectively pollinating over and over again)
4) Should i clean the rooms, or is it even worth it. If so, what is your suggestion

Pollen sacks?

Flowers on the herm, and what i describe as declustering

What we have there is commonly known as a calyx, where as a pollen sac will have a very thin short stem before having a pod hanging on it, that calyx has a tiny hair or hairs sticking out of it :-P as for the other pics, they're not so good for old eyes to see much :shock: good luck...

well it looks normal to me..... but I just posted in another thread about bubbleicious and how every seed Ive growin turns out mutated or hermie or straight male from a fem seed. I think they may have some shitty genetics in there somewhere.... but they make it look sooo good!!

Something strange going on with that bud, but I see no sign of male, just swollen glands of the female flowers...it might be trying to reveg, I don't know.

ive grown this plant out to maturity once with no issues. It's a cross of the auto blue pyramid and Bubblelicious

That's what I was thinking when I saw some new leafs coming from the middle of a bud cluster... It looked exactly like a bubblelicious that I reveged, with the non-serrated leaf edges. But there is not enough light leak to cause this issue, I don believe. Also I have clones of this plant in the same 12/12 light cycle and they have no issues. I figured the auto genetics would prevent this (they certainly jump started flower production at the beginning, as it was like 2 weeks a head of all other varieties I had going at the same time)

Either way I chopped this one down, and once trimmed it all looks good. Guess we will see after the week or two cure.
