eh honestly if you have seeds forming it's already too late. I wouldn't remove it from the cab because whatever pollination occured already happened a couple weeks ago. if I were you I'd just let it finish and then use the seeds on your next round. If it's from a hermie then all your seeds will be feminized ( ) and if it's from a male then you'll just have to chop some nigs once they show sex. Either way it's too late to prevent any pollination so I would finish it out. smoke what you can and save the seeds.

well genetically they're inclined to become hermies, but naturally they will be female until an environmental trigger signals the switch

nah dude don't worry I definitely understand how it works. The plants genetically are xx females but since both received parental alleles are from the same plant (which is genetically inclined towards hermaphrodite-ism) then the offspring has a much higher chance of turning hermi if the proper environmental conditions are met (generally stress from light at night or drought etc). It's not that every single seed resulting from a hermi plant is guaranteed to produce a hermi, but the potential is much higher because the genes from both parent sides contain the gene coding for hermi.

when I say environmental triggers I mean pretty much anything that happens 
like, them reaching appropriate sexual maturity can be a trigger. watering can be a trigger. basically anything in an environment can trigger an expression of a phenotype if the genetic coding is correct.
