Looks like I'll have to pull the Purple Dick. Bugger.
Pretty sure a light leak has made her hermie. I've had the bottom vent next to her open a bit to improve the air getting in. It's pretty much pressed up against the wall in the back corner of the cupboard so I didn't think much, if any, light would get in. The cupboard door is left slightly open to let air in and out. Well apparently I was wrong. Looks like it's only affected the lower larf areas on the PD. So I think just enough light was getting in there. I've pulled all the balls I could see for now which will hopefully protect the other plants until I can get her out of there tomorrow night. Some balls had already dropped pollen though. 
Could I save her by fixing the light leak and cutting everything off lower down?

Mebs! I'd give it a few days and see what happens.

DISASTER! They're all popping balls out low down. Only found 1 on the Gushcake but it's hit them all. I've stripped them all out lower down and taken off anything looking suspicious. The Purple Dick looks like her top buds are going too. They look a bit like when I reversed a clone with CS. So she still may need to just go. I guess I'll just keep pulling the balls/nanners off as they appear and try to salvage some bud with a load of seeds at the end. Frustrating, but it's my first real disaster and I'll learn.
This is how I have had the vent. I pull the flap up then reattach it in a half circle sort of funnel. That's against the wall at the back of the walk in wardrobe too so I didn't think that would be enough to cause an issue. Oops!
Here's the girls after their trim.
I'm closing the vent when lights are off and I'll have to put a bit of ducting coming in from the top vent on that side so I can just leave it closed.

Sorry to hear this, Vet...
The conditions must have been just right/wrong for them all to react that way...Hopefully your trimming will save most of the buds..
My box is pretty loosey-goosey as far as light leaks are concerned, but they're all tiny, pinhole sized leaks, and they haven't ever caused any problems.
One bigger leak is obviously something to be avoided, although it's hard to believe that enough light got in through that vent to mess things up for you...must have been just enough for the plants to notice (and get stressed about it)
Fingers crossed that those boy parts are shooting blanks!

Aloha my brother sorry to hear about the bananners. I hope all is well with you and family. Aloha

Hi Sunny. Been a while. Yeah it's frustrating but it is what it is. Slowly getting back to full strength. Hope you and yours are well too.

Me too mate.
Fingers crossed I can get a bit of smokeable flower off these.

Hopefully you can salvage something decent.
Too bad they look so healthy.
Hope today goes better for you my friend.
Take care.

Better seeds than rot! Pull off the balls and see it out through harvest. Can't see a reason to dump the grow at this stage, especially if they're all hermied.

Bad break Vet.
But, hell, if you're anything like me you grew up with seedy weed! Was still good weed.
We used to elevate the end of a cleaning tray to clean the weed, roll those suckers down to the bottom of the tray and save them. At one time in my younger days I had a whole cookie can full of seeds (along with lots of weed)!
That's a cute name for a "double album."

When I was growing up weed was hard to come by, it was all hash aka solid aka soap bar. Totally opposite now. It was usually pretty good though when we did get weed. Don't remember many seeds because I know I would've planted them somewhere if I did.Bad break Vet.
