Plant grown outside in New york. Next to 3 others that are female. So being its a few weeks away from harvest is the damage done. Should I just leave it or destroy it? Don't see any seeds on buds of other plants.
Thanks in advance

That's the hermiest herm I've ever seen, usually ya just get little nanners in the bud. I'd scrap it to avoid pollinating the others

You do know that "nanners" don't indicate a genetic hermaphrodite... right?
This growers plant is a genetic hermaphrodite, both sexual organs, and fully functional. The "nanners" are typically stress or senescence expressions. Look up rodelization.
But yeah, dude needs to cut it now.

P.s. I'm not trying to be an ass, just see a lot of people screaming "HERM!" when in reality the plant is stressing about future generations.

Did not know this! I thought that all plants had the potential to herm given enough stress and some phenos may be more likely but didn't realize ya just got hermaphrodite plants that have both parts regardless

Being the others near it have a few weeks left isn't the damage done? Should I keep it around for the seeds. Or is there a chance the others haven't been pollinated. Also Is it possible to get pollinated this close to the end.

The OP's plant is a true hermaphrodite. Not just nanners.

You're right.

IME, the nanners are stress born. Light leaks confuse the plant on which stage of life it's in so she self pollinated to ensure her genetic future. When starting senescence(end of life) if the plant had not been pollinated, again it will throw nanners out for genetic preservation.
On a side note, all seeds(99.999%), from either situation, will be female, there is no Male genetic input.
