Hermaphrodite Q/suggestions

Plants are entering their 5th week of flowering. The buds are thick and very resinous, but they are showing bananas now. If the buds are still producing resin and no seeds, should I grow them out fully, or do I need to cut them early in order to preserve what is there?

...personally, I'd let them go. Damage is done.

Let them go as in grow out, not kill, right?

Here is a picture. Any second opinions on if it would be better to grow them out or cut them now?

let it keep growing.
I say so because if you stop and cut now your gonna have weaker bud because its early and you will get less.

if you wait you will have bigger better buds that have seeds and MAY be less potent.

Id rather have more maybe less potent than less not fully potent weed..

If they do indeed have pollen sacs on them and they burst, you could contaminate future grows if using the same grow area. I couldn't tell from the pics if they did or not. If they do have sacs cut it down early and get them the hell away from your usual grow area if you want sensimilla plants later. Even though its immature you'd at least have some smoke, and wouldn't contaminate the area with pollen. Its very tenacious.

Could you post a pic of the pollen sack? From your picks, they just look like a budding female.

did you light stress them or are they genetic hermies? i'd just pull the sacks off b4 they can pop if its not really really bad.

Thank you for the suggestions, it's always nice to have multiple opinions. They 'may' have been light stressed. During flowering the sun started coming up right on the blacked-out window (x4 sheets) and made it a 'lighter' dark than usual for about the first 2 dark hours (although not brighter than natural moonlight). This is the only grow that will occur here, so I think I will wait based on the comments and my research. I will try to pick off the bananas/sacks with tweezers however.

Thanks, B.
