I'm not sure whether you mean clones or seedlings, but if they're feminized seedlings and you got a male, or male-ish plant, it does happen. If it's a clone that never hermied before, then...hmm, you got me.
Its a clone from a mother that is about as genetically stable as it gets. There person that gifted me the cut runs this LA confidential all day long and has never had a hermie.
I had one that threw nanners at first BUT never again during the rest of the grow. If you fix what pissed he/she off in the first place that is.
Yes, I use tweezers and actually pull the nanners off, if they already dropped their load (which I doubt due to the flowering period) then yes spray with water to kill that pollen so it only affects a couple sites and at best only a couple seeds are made.
I have light leaks all the time, I pull the weak ones that can't hang with my lifestyle but my main girls don't care if light leaks or I mess with them. I am raising some mean ass ladies lol, they don't take shit from anyone or anything including light, god, porn, jumping jacks and the list can go on. Amazing... wait I trailed a bit there...
yes pull the nanners and see if they continue, if it gets worse then cull the he/she BUT why kill it if it was just tossing a few off the bat ESPECIALLY if you can end up with quality smoke.
Just keep an eye on it, if the nanners get too crazy make your call then UNLESS you just want her gone. I only cull the ones that explode with nanners/balls/hairs and won't stop no matter if there isn't a light leak, no lst or super cropping or nute boostin burn.
