Could be, but I dont see any bananas. Did you have a male in there at any point? Cuz I see seeds developing. That means that it is either a hermi and pollenated itself or you had a male in there.

Can you get a pic of the ones that dont have hairs comin out of them?
Male flowers look like this. If you have any that look like this on the same plant then you have a hermi. Also they have already opend up so its to late to salvage your plant. If you have any other females in there I suggest moving that plant immediatly. Although its probably already to late.

Yes, but its probably to late. Check your other plants for male flowers as well. One of them has to have male flowers on it. But like I said, its most likely to late and you will get really seedy bud. Sorry man.

That looks like a male flower to me, although its hard to tell if its not just another seedpod. Did you check your other plants?

Well I would take that one out of your flowering cab. Also your plants look like they are nute burned.

This is a picture of a hermaphrodite. You can see a single male stamen. That plant is bagseed in its 6th week of flowering. There are no visible seeds developing yet, but a male stamen is plainly visible. Perhaps this picture will make spotting hermies a little easier for you in the future.

Good pic Ojom. That's a classic hermie right there. Sometimes the pods are up underneath or inside the growth of a bud which makes them almost impossible to find. They usually form in clusters but you sometimes get the singular pods like the ones in Ojom's pic.

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.

Sorry Harry this isn't true.
Hermie seeds tend to make mostly hermie plants.

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

Magash can explain this much better than I, but Soma just learned what I'm referring to, being his feminized seeds were producing many more hermies then female.
If I'm not mistaken STS is one of the best feminized methods, there's a thread around here somewhere explaining this tho.
I'll hunt it down for ya when I get home, gotta run now tho.

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.

If they naturally become hermaphrodites without your environmental triggers, then the offspring will more than likely become hermies without much provocation what so ever.
Now if you purposefully induce a male stamen with something like STS, then you will have feminized seeds that are stable.
Or at least is my understanding of it.

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.
