where you see the balls, are there red/brown hairs coming out of it? it looks female to me, with the exception of that one flower thays not in focus enough to see.
can you take a photo of that single ball/flower so we can see it more clearly

Yea so I'm real concerned bout my formation of my flowers, I'm on day 33 of bloom, and the seed pods don't look right. I think it's growing seeds instead of proper fem flower, the stamens coming out of them don't look right.

i see no bananas on any of the buds
I can't take clear pics cause of hps light, but my tops are very dense and some pods have opend up but with stamens coming out of them

can you take a closer picture of the flowers in question. if they dont look like two white hairs they could be the start of male flowers

can you get a pair of tweezers and pull one off and open it up, that should tell youif they have the start of a seed inside.
it will look like a green/yellow seed if it is

I'll go and open 1 up, and if I find any seed inside then it's definitely hermie?

NO that's the wired thing, the pods are making me question that it's growing seedy bud. I can't spot any visable nanners
In my experience having this happen to my outdoor plant. They (banana pods)didn't get far enough along to create a problem and were there for 45 days until I harvested.They carry pollen but never opened up to do anything. I had a buddy say the same thing when I went through this and he said what I'm telling you. Only happened once because of high stress.

Is it still 2 early 2 determine its growing seeds inside? All signs are pointing 2 female but the way my buds are forming they don't look right.... Is there any other possible signs 2 look for. Cheers

If you see the bananas. Take one off and give it a squeeze away from your grow space. Wash hands after. I found they never developed past the look. And my bud was still amazing with no noticeable difference. You'll be ok I think brother

Its the plants last attempt to produce seeds. You can tediously pick them all off. Just make sure you go through EVERY branch. My guess is the pollen sacks won't explode, but to.make completely sure, pick them off. If your worried about your other girls getting pollinated, chop her down or remove her from the room far away. If it's only on one branch, pick them off or cut the branch.

It may just be something else as to why the buds are growing funny..I see the one ball, but it doesn't concern me as your bud looks good and I don't see anything else

Nanners usually will be pretty obvious, but they can sneak in there and self the plant. The plant in my picture was a herm, it made 3 or 4 sacks during week 3 so i ate them. Then around week 6 it did it again, so i ate them lol. Plant was to nice to just chop down so I finished. If you think there is a seed pick it out and check, otherwise keep on rollin!!!
