Started the flush and now she is a hermie?! WTF!

Started the flush on an autoflower 4 days ago and everything was looking pretty rock solid. Pistils shrinking, amber trichs showing up, leaves starting to yellow etc etc.

Today as i was having a look at trichs, i noticed a few new bright shiny-white pistils on mid-level branch tip colas. After giving one of these bright pistils a little squeeze, i could feel a seed inside it. I have plans to let this plant ride out the flush (DWC grow) for another 5-7 days so the ambers can increase.

Anybody run into this before?
I don’t/can’t seem to find any naners in the buds, so hopefully there isn’t enough time for the risk of pollination. I am planning to keep the flush going for another 5 (or so) days.

What do you folks think….is there a risk of pollen over the next 5 days? Should i shoot-shovel-shut up and just chop her down? Or ride it out for the next 5 days?

If it already has a seed wouldn't it already be "pollinated" ? Can you see if there's any other seeds? in the last 2 ozs of reasonable quality hydro Ive purchased from a large scale dealer, Ive gotten 1 seed out of each one, fully matured too. The buds show no sign of Hermie action and are big and dense and from what I know about the source of the buds I would think the grower grow clones from a mother plant.. strange.

5 days wont mater much, it takes 4+ weeks for mature seed.

Found some nanners that went poof already.

I agree, 5 days at the end of the grow wont matter

i feel for ya' man, just found my 1st male plant in what was supposed to be feminized seeds. was one of my bigger plants, gotta chop it tom. couldn't bring myself to do it today. total letdown

FML! Nanners….God damn nanners. She came down tonight. You can see in the pic the the banana is peeled open, so it already shot its load of pollen in my tent. She hermied pretty hard and was probably caused by the flush causing her some shock.

Smokin herms ain't bad. It's like riding a Honda while your Harley gets fixed. You just don't take it to Church.

Amen to that.
