Looks like a hermie. Doesn't it?

[utax]

So I was wondering is this hermie. I have noticed coulpe of male sacks on the bottom part bud sites of my plant. I clipped them all off, there were like 7 of them. It's the 30 day of flowering, white widow. But hte problem is that some of the sacks were open.
So my question is, how long does it take for male sacks to produce pollen, if they are open, does it mean they are already spreading pollen? Or am I safe for now?

Sorry for the quality of the pic...

I think what your seeeing is the tear drop like bit where the pistilles come out from. If they're are obvious balls that have no pistilles comming out of them then pull them off. You should be ok if you def pull them all of carefuly.

Your plants most likely are going to grow seeds now. If you look at the buds, you can see where the pollen touched. The calyx will begin to swell more then the rest and the hair will be dead on that calyx.
Make sure no more open or you will end up with all seeds.
Take one that you cut off and take it outside. Squeeze it between your fingers. If it coontains a yellow grainy substance your going to get seeds.

I think it hasn't spread the pollen yet. As I understand pollen should look the same as pollen from the ordinary flowers? Then I guess it is not fully formed yet. Because there is only opened sack, and no pollen is visible. I mean it's not dusty yet... I hope I'm right...

I squeezed it and there is no dust in it, it's only juicy...

Those look like hermie, male banana sacks and those don't look open. If any on the lower plant were open you might get a few seeds BUT they will be female seeds. If you can pick these male banana pods off and put in a ziplock in the frig for the next grow you can make your own fem seed with them. You can make fem crosses or anything. It comes from some kind of stress to the plant. I have been trying to stress one plant to get these but can't seem to do it. Curse or blessing. IT all depends on a certain point of veiw
