so on many of my plants that are almost done, those little banana looking things are starting to appear...now i've heard that those are pollen sacks and means my plants going herm...i couldn't find evidence of this in the OG growfaq (which is what i use for reference)...is this true? do i need to be concerned about the rest of the plants in the room which have about 5 weeks left? should i just pull those one's early or remove the buds with the bananas?

Post some pictures. Yes you should try to cut away the bananas if you can while leaving the bud intact. If you leave one it could pollinate your whole room.
 
almost done...how close? you should be fine if they just started popping...pull them off and store them to make some feminized seeds later if you want...if they dont open they wont seed your crop...pull them before they do...peace

i'd say maybe a week, maybe more...it's happening on a few of my bubba kush X bubblegums...i this is my first time doing them out so i'm not sure exactly how much longer is left...here's a few pics of it from last night, you'll get an idea for how much longer they got...i really like the calyxes on these guys and want to let them finish out, but i don't want to seed my other ladies as i have other rotations in the same room...

It happens every once in a while! Just get your tweezers out and pull the nanners out, check every day and pull em. You should be fine, you might get a few seeds, ya might not, but don't cut em down and waste your budz!!!
