I have one plant, I had a bunch of drama and the poor thing still put out some nice buds. But now I got nanners. This is my first plant. It's been babied since it started budding. It was looking so good, I figured a couple more weeks for it, but today iI se the nanners and seed pods. What do I do with it. I don't care to have seedy weed. Will it still be OK?

If it’s just for you finish it off if you are close and steralize the space after you are finished. If you have other plants that aren’t as far along then I would chop early. I would also try to find out why it hermied. Light leak? Poor genetics? I had a amber light on a power strip cause me all kinds of havoc years ago. I’ve also had a plant that would hermie late in flower but I kept growing it from clone for many grows and realized that the pollen was sterile as nothing in my perpetual grow would make seed. Late in flower is not enough time to really get seeded.

Hmm, ya I don't care to pick out some seeds, I'm sure it's cause I messed up it's lights a few times, just recently too. The hairs are about 1/3 red, the top buds look like they will get done and then need to let all the bottom ones go longer. They are mostly just white.

Well you could start flushing a little early and or cut the light cycle to fewer hours of light to hurry it along or just go business as usual and have some seeded weed. The seeds will most likely be very immature and small meaning you may not even notice them much. Could also start tweezing the nanners off to ruduce the pollen in the space. but if you only have 2 weeks or less and it’s the only plant I would just keep going unless the sacks are huge and lots of them.

Finish as normal, tweezer nannas gently off and call me when it harvested, dry and ready to smoke.

Hermies happen to new growers, they will dissapear when you get better. Bud is bud seeded or not :-)

Seeing as you only have one plant you have no issues, your bud will still be good.
You just got unlucky, seeing as hermies are either hereditary or caused by extreme stress.
Every grower gets one, consider yourself lucky that it wasn't in the middle of a group of plants, then that would have hurt if it had pollinated the rest.
Good luck

Can you see the yellow little banana there? It's my fault. I moved out should not have taken her but I did, it wasn't in flower iI couldn'tell if it was male or female but then I had electrical issues had to just set it in a window. I moved back home and left my plant there. Went back a couple weeks later and it had buds all over it. So I put it in the car and drove it home. I have tried to baby it ever since but I already screwed up. I tried to keep it with day schedule like it was in the window. Those just popped up yesterday. I expected it cause this is my first time ever to get a plant all the way to bud.

That's not a hermaphrodite. It has some nanners that's all. A hermaphrodite will have male and female parts. I don't see any balls. Almost every plant will put out nanners if given enough time. Look up rodelization. Some people use rodelization to make feminised seeds. They can be stress induced as well.

Well the plant looks healthy to me. Still has a ways to go imo but you are on your way to better and better harvest I’m sure.

Honestly I doubt it was due to light stress, I’ve fucked with my lights many times and it didn’t cause an issue. When I added a few other stresses, yup it threw a few :(.

When I was young and basically growing anywhere I could. I had gardens damn near under street lights. I never had an issue. Another year a house near our grow put up a bright ass yard light a few weeks into flower. I thought for sure we were fucked. Once again no issues.
I'm not saying light leaks don't cause issue. Maybe I've been lucky

Harvest moon....of course plants adapt to their outdoor conditions. I thought for sure when the neighbor put up that yard light I was screwed. I could see how indoor growing might be more finicky as far as light leak. But I think it gets blamed way more than reality.
