Is it with other females???

The problem is, hermies produce pollen sacs at the internodes of the stalk/branches where you normally see a female calyx/pistol

These & the seed pods cannot be removes. If it's hermie, there will literally be seeds all throughout it, inside & on it's exterior. SO ... You have a couple options

1) If there's females around it, remove it ASAP. While it may be too late for others to be pollinated, atleast you are making an attempt to fix it. You can dry this plant away from others, bag it, and set it aside to make has out of in the future. Swap your clothes, as you prob got pollen on them after handling that plant and don't want to bring more pollen back in the room. Maybe grab a bucket and make some warm soap water or peroxide water and wash down walls/floor of grow room. If you're wiping up pollen then you know it's bad n wanna clean it up as much as possible.

2) If that's your only plant, you can continue to grow it it's full life cycle. It will spend a lot of it's energy producing seeds rather than thc/weight, however, it will produce more of potency to some degree, and after done can be dried and again, will be great for making hash. You'll get a handfull or more pending on size n final product.

Hope this helps!

Marcrael download Weed Science (bottom of post), there's a chapter on hermaphrodites and a link to an encompassing thread on hermies and how to deal with them.

Basically pluck the bananas with tweezers in the end but there are other ways to reduce banana output.
