Hi,
never had to experience this,
today I opened my tent and found this

1.jpeg

nothing that looks like a "banana" to be found on the plant,
but I'm also blindly looking for something that I don't know how it looks really.

maybe this?

it went through some kind of stress, it started flowering out of the box when I left it behind a window for a week before spring started.
Then re-vegged for 3 weeks in the box with the others and flipped all of them,.
Now it just finished week 4 of 12\12 light cycle.

Any suggestions? if that was an open pollen sack the damage in the box is done, but shouldn't I find a bunch of those?
Thanks for helping!
Peace
 
First pic is a male flower. When it happens on an otherwise female plant, we call it a herm

It can happen one time, or multiple. Sometimes a single banana, or a full pack of them... which is what you have on your finger. The bananas are the things that look like mini banana peppers in the middle of the bract

So should I kill the plant or maybe wait for more to show up?

I'm very sure, but I wouldn't kill a plant for one spot, or even a few if you're new to growing.

It will still smoke fine, and if it only happens once or twice, you likely won't even have many seeds.

If you're looking to keep a plant as a mother and continue to Clone from it, maybe finding a more stable plant is a good idea. But for right now, I'd just go with it. Some plants will throw a male flower or two out no matter what happens, doesn't always mean much of anything
 
2 of the critical mass phenos I'm running each had a single banana in mid bloom. I just plucked it, no more developed.

Oddly it was #6 and #9. They like to get freaky.
 
I think you'll be ok, many of my runs have popped a few male flowers like yours have, but I don't always get seeds from them, sometimes the pollen is sterile so it cannot make seeds. Most seeds I've had have been less than 5 per plant though.
