First time posting on a forum but didnt know what else to do....I discovered a banana shaped flower (tiny) on one of my buds last night. I'm 6 and a half weeks into flower with cookie strain. I don't see any seeds but am sure they're coming. Freaking out because before this they were looking beautiful. After closer examination i can see more if I really open the buds. I would say a quarter of my girls are like this. Is there any way to stop or prolong the inevitable?! Any and all suggestions would be appreciated

Not even. Your bud might have that small unmature seed already though. Gotta consider it all.

When a female throws a nanner or two that late into flowering...it's because of stress, but any seed you get will be feminized. I had some Blueberries do the same thing and I got 8 seeds out of the grow, planted three outdoors and had a wonderful harvest

Ya, that's what I've been reading but I can't figure out what the stressor could have been/be. That's what's frustrating. Thier environment is super stable...unless I'm pushing them too hard but I doubt that too. I appreciate the positive outlook though and will definitely save any seeds I end up with. Lastnight I picked every little pollen pod (for lack of a better word) that I could find. Only two of which actually seemed to have pollen. Seriously tedious work and I'm just hoping it will somehow help. Wait and see from here on out I guess. :/
Thanks so much for your input!

It could be stress but my experience has been that it's mostly genetics. I mean you would really have to put the hurt on a healthy plant that doesn't typically hermie, to get it to hermie. Seriously. Below is a link to my garden -- my gdp is gone now because I've replaced it with better smoke but the garden looks the same. It's healthy and happy with no stress and so was the gdp but no matter what, it always spit out nanners starting at about week 5 of flowering -- ALWAYS. https://www.rollitup.org/t/grow-chop-dry-cure-repeat.852792/
