Gently put a bag over it so it doesn't spread the pollen, carry it out and throw it away..... unless you want all the others to have seeds too..... and by the way the seeds will only produce other hermies... they are clones.
The cause of this is stress....

Be very sure they are pollen sacks.
Preflower calx swellings at the major nodes is normal.
They are just early, female pre-flowers that mature before the buds do.
They look like this;

If they have any hairs leave them alone.

If they start showing little, green/yellow "footballs" at the smaller nodes, or buds, that looks like this;

It's time to make decisions.

Hope dat helps.

you can try to gently remove the sacks as you see them

[DannyCalToker]

just cut the pollin sacks with some scissors they wont produce polination. then it will flower and no seeds will form on your other plants.

dont throw it away if you can take off as much pollen sacks but leave the bottoms seperat it from others if you can in another g/room and let it do its thing then collect the seed's at the end for more grow's why not...this is what i would do but i have the space and loots of xtra lighting

i wouldn't kill a hermie it saves you money on seed's my brva and very very good chance they feminized
good luck g

i like your positive thinking on this, i felt the same way and the plants can pick up on that in my opinion, i feed them and take care of them and they give the fruit that take cares of me and feeds me too
