Possible Hermaphrodite; seeds appearing even though no males around. Picture

Hello,

This is my first plant, so please bear with me. :)

It is approx. 3-4 weeks into flowering and so far it has been looking good. Been trying not to over-water and supplied 14-14-14 fertilizer (slow release pellets) when it first started flowering.

It has had a small spider mite problem (mostly got rid of it with some Dr. Doom and water/alcohol spraying) and this branch was bent when it first started flowering to allow light to reach other areas of the plant.

Yesterday I noticed seeds! There are no other plants nearby.

It's isolated to one branch (unfortunately, the biggest one) and only in a few areas (small seeds by 3 buds, large area in picture was on the branch itself).

I do not open the door during the night cycle. Plant is on a 12-12 cycle with a 250watt HPS.

Does anyone have any suggestions or troubleshooting tips? Does this look like a Hermaphrodite, or could it be from something else?

Thanks

Looks like you've got a ball sack growing there. Cut it off now before you end up with more seeds, if it's not already too late.

looks like pollen sacks, blatently hermie.
get rid of it unless you want powdery bud.. or a load of seeds coz itll just pollinate itself.

Should I just keep removing seeds, or should I cut the branch having this issue?

Does this spread throughout the plant and there is nothing to be done, or could it be contained?
