Are these hermaphrodite flowers?

I'm currently growing a few plants from bag seed. I got quite a few hermaphrodites from these, but 3 of them made it to week 6 of flower with no male flowers. Now one of these survivors is showing what I fear to be the so called "nanners". Can anyone confirm? Should I give up on this plant, or try to grow it away from my other plants?

Enough to make a bunch of really small banana splits. Sorry bud.

Should I kill the plant? I read somewhere else that these bananas do not usually have time to grow and pollinate, but would prefer to be on the safer side regarding the other plants (they are being grown indoor, but I could possibly leave the hermie somewhere outdoor in the garden)

If I do kill it right now, should I bother trying to make cannabutter/RSO from these unripe buds?

I wouldn't worry as much and would definitely not waste the time you put in it by getting rid of it just separate them you'll be alright

IT's really up to you if you feel you can separate this guy from your ladies. If you do decide to grow it out than just be very careful and keep it in a separate room. Welcome to RIU. :bigjoint:

the seeds came from a hermied plant probably. some growers use the lights to mess a round with the lighting to turn a plant from a female to a hermie to get pollen from it to fertilize another plant getting female seeds from the chosen plant

That's exactly how I make my feminized seeds. The plant I want to knock up the rest I give an erratic life cycle. I take it out of the dark cycle a put it in my veg room for a couple hours then back in the dark. Here's the cross's I made. Donated hundreds and been hearing great things as I have only grown 2 myself. One I call Burnt Cake (Wedding Cake x White Fire 3) and my other new strain is called Fire Scout Cookies (forum Cut GSC x White Fire 3) here's a pic of the Fire Scout. Grown under CMHIMG_20191111_174309659.jpgIMG_20200603_220509032.jpg

those are nanners not a hermi.

Big difference. Nanners you can pluck with a tweezer.

A hermi would have actual male sacks.

Yes those nanners can pollinate your entire crop however if you have the patience and drive to check daily you can pluck and keep it going

Yeah, these seeds are expected to have a large proportion of hermies. Some context on the origin of the seeds & why I'm even bothering with them:

I live in Brazil. Weed is 100% illegal here. The country is very conservative and even medical marijuana is frowned upon. It's virtually impossible to get good seeds here. Only options are travelling abroad or ordering from international sellers with "stealth shipping" options (very expensive).

However, we do have a very steady supply of seeds - most of the weed smoked here is grown illegally and semi-wildly in Paraguay (even more corrupt/weaker government over there, and crossing the border is really easy). Paraguayans make clearings in secluded forests in national parks and sow the seeds from the previous year. Genetics are a mix of local wild sativa with better seeds brought from the Netherlands (the plant I've shown has distinct indica leaves). They reportedly do try and weed out the males, but the number of plants greatly exceeds that of workers, and I suspect they mustn't touch hermies that are more female. So as a result we get seeded bud with high incidence of hermies.

Considering this is my readiest source of seeds, I'm willing to gamble on this small scale "pheno hunt". There are reports of incredibly strong bud grown from these wild seeds, so can't hurt to try

Pluck them with a tweezer and continue on bro. Just make sure to get them all.

Happened on my first grow from bagseed. Much worse than yours. Nanners came out in late flower. Three plants in the tent. There were very few seeds in any of those plants. Maybe like 5 on one plant. I’d just segregate if you can and let her finish
