Hermied plant worth keeping?

Hii guys! I'm currently doing an indoor coco grow up with two plants. I think one of them might have started to hermie. It has just gone into week 9 of flowering and I found some seed sacks with newly formed seeds in them. I think it's because of stress, as they got to tall, getting light burn and overheating as well. Was just wondering if it is worth keeping it or cutting the most affected branches down which are the top ones?. Thanks a lot have photos of the seeds I found and the plant.

I had one in my group that went hermie in december..first time ever..got about 200 seeds from it, and it gave me about a dozen other seeds where it rubbed the plant next to it (different strain). The smoke was ok from the hermied plant..not the same taste as usual, but same effects...and of the 200+ seeds from that plant, i popped a few to try this grow..all 4 are now in week 5 12/12 (2 smell amazing and look great, the other 2 look, and smell, just like the hermied one..though not hermied yet) Of the 12 other seeds from the other plant it pollinated...8 of 10 germed and are now also week 5 flower and look perfect, just like the plant that got pollinated by the hermie. So long story short lol...i say keep it :)

Was it ball or banana pollen?

Why would you not finish it? If you're just noticing it now at week 9 pulling it won't prevent other plants from developing seeds. If it had some nanners that released pollen it's already been released and other flowering plants would have already been pollinated. Grow it out until it's finished, dry it, smoke it, move on.

As the others said, let it ride. I'd let it ride till the seeds are mature. You will end up with tasty smoke and will get some free seeds.......seeds that may end up producing the next greatest gift from from the ganja gods :)

I have no idea as i never had a hermie lol. It had a bunch of little yellow flowers on it..so i'd guess bananas?

Ok. I’m just thinking stress banana pollen might be better. If a plant is a true genetic hermie that throws balls, even if it’s only a few hidden ones, then the new seed plants will have a higher chance of becoming hermie and will release pollen early vs a stressed banana plant which may produce offspring that have better chance of staying Sensi in good conditions. Not sure if I’m making sense
