Removing hermie sack?

Just noticed 2 small just developing sacks on one of my females. they look like male parts to me and I want to remove them while I am still early in bloom (2 1/2 weeks)

Without spreading possible pollen Could I just pinch them off with my finger and and leave them room while still clinched, and wash my hands good?

If you catch them early chances are the pollen in the sacs is immature (not viable) anyway. Pinch and run.

But just remember if you miss a single flower that opens it can ruin the whole grow, and possibly future grows if in a sealed area.

Just pinched that shit off and made a run for it out of my room. I inspected the whole plant, node by node and I'm pretty sure I got them all (only 3), plus I'll make sure I do weekly inspections of ALL my plants, just to be sure I don't get any more hermies, but it looks like just the one

I have said it too many times so I'll just put my Quote from another thread...
First let me debunk the "hermie" myth for you...there are very few "real hermies" out there...what you have is a bunch of newbies (no offense) stressing their plants to the point of self pollination, and not getting good advice as too why...well, I'll tell ya...it's because you guys are hearing that "you have to do this and you have to do that" so you try it all, and when it comes time to flower that poor girl don't know what to think, so she does what comes natural, she self pollenates...it's from over feeding/watering, under feeding/watering, changing their environment every other day, and then stressing it by putting it in flower to see if she lives through 8 more weeks...lol...I know I've done it...I'm cloning a Blue Rhino from my first grow, she "self pollenated" on me, I blamed it on a "hermie"...I'm still growing that strain and she hasn't "hermied/self pollenated" on me since I learned to read my plants and not mess with them so much...remember, LESS IS REALLY MORE...it took me awhile to learn it...good luck...

In other words...you have a better chance at winning the Lottery than you do getting a TRUE hermie...good luck and don't stress your plants...
