If its growing around potential females it will pollinate the females and hermie ALL of your plants

It will grow at its normal rate i believe... Definitely let it go to harvest separate from the females... The seeds that the hermie produces will provide you with more seeds for future needs :)

But won't those seeds be hermie's as well?

if i lst it will the new growth accelerates ?

No... How do you thinks seeds are produced?

A male grows sacks that produce ONLY pollen...

A female grows pistils that produce ONLY flowers...
(unless they hermie due to many factors other than pollination, shit happens make the best of it right?)

So as sex education has taught us many years ago.... When a female and male come together they produce genetics and traits of both sexes... In this case buds WITH seeds. The seeds that your plant will produce are the same as regular seeds.... Percentage between male and female ratios of those seeds depend on other factors as well i believe.

Let them grow without cutting because that will not prevent anything if they are already hermied (<<-------may be an incorrect use of the word lol). The buds will be smokeable but the presence of thc is depleted a great deal. Not to mention you will be picking seed out constantly which is never any fun.

Growth doesn't become faster as much as it does become more abundant. Lst allows a plant to increase the rate in which it can uptake nutrients and water to fix the stressed areas as well as still providing nutrient uptake to the rest of the healthy areas...

No. The seeds from HIS plant. As in the hermie. Will be feminized seeds. Not regular. There's NO Y chromosome present. It's a female Xx fertilizing a female Xx. The only outcome WILL be Xx/Xx offspring. Female. Now that being said even if they are feminized. The plant we're speaking of (assuming OP doesn't have light leaks and caused it loads of stress etc) just up and hermied on its own. Which is a BAD thing. It's offspring will be as prone to hermie as its parent (itself) Therefore it will be more likely to carry weak genetics if you're looking at desirable traits in cannabis. The Hermaphrodite trait is by far the worst trait that would cause any half serious breeder to scrap a plant and all of its offspring. As far as you suggesting OP use them in the future? That's just bad advice. His next line up from those could very well do the same thing. Except instead of one female plant dropping pollen it could be several.

OP just save yourself the headache and chuck that thing into a pit.
