Check Seedfinder and you will go into shock at the number of multi-Polly-super-crossed strains out there.

I (and everyone) comes across Nanners from time to time.
What I’ve never come across is a nanner that pollinates a whole plant let alone a whole room.
They don’t produce pollen anywhere near the amount male flowers do, and what pollen they do produce is not very mobile. If they pollinate anything, it’s almost always the bud they’re growing from.
As long as you identify and remove them, you’re not going to get many seeds.
Like others have said, just ride it out and keep plucking.
That's what I'm doing now ,but I knew that it was going to happen... I planted seeds from a hermie plant just to cee what would happen... All of these are hermie seeds!!! I'm checking them all the time for pods!!!20211106_225210.jpg

Good luck
Yeah I know... Was just in there for the last half hour looking!!! I'm glad that I kept it to just the seeds in those coffee containers... I just wanted to cee what would happen if I kept taking them off,like does that stop them from seeding??? Guess I'll find out one way or another...

Going through the same process myself.
Plant was stressed and losing foliage in week 6 of flower so it decided to go hermie.

Now, a day shy if week 8 I had to prematurely harvest the plant, after removing nanners from the buds they kept growing overnight or after 2 days. Noticed that most of them are sterile but the few in the tallest middle colas had some pollen in them and had probably pollenated some of the lower buds as well.
And as from that point on the plant basically is focused entirely on producing more seeds, theres no point in letting it continue and put your other plants at risk (no matter how improbable)

From what I've gathered from dealing with this problem is that plants in >6 week of flower you should probably consider harvesting the plant sooner rather than later because it will be entirely focused in producing seeds and not trichomes.

Hey legends just wanted to give you all an update on how the nanner situation panned out, plus a massive thankyou for guiding me through the heart stopping situation.

I'm proud to say that after removing the buds with nanners as they appeared ( wich was only the smaller lower buds of the plant, over a 5 day period a total of 11 buds were removed ) the nanners stopped producing and appearing altogether on any other part of the plant.

I have noticed that 3 seeds have formed but the rest of the plant is thriving with jaw dropping results thus far.

Iv never seen trichomes so big and thick before ( see pic attached) and the stickiness when I gently squeeze the buds to check their density ( wich is legit rock hard already) is like tree sap ,

I wish I could share this with u guys in a few weeks once she's chopped and dried, Ifnor wasn't for your advice i would of destroyed her and missed out on what looks like to be the best bud I'll ever grow in my life.

For any other growers out there I hope my experience shows that just cause a plant gos a bit crazy like most females in existence and shows signs of flipping that bitch switch and herme on u, take the time , patience + TLC and you can save yourself possibly loosing the best bud of your growing experience..
