hermie dilemma

So right now ive got 2 plants flowering a girl scout and a green crack. I took clones and theyre just finishing up their roots but my flowering gsc turned hermie on me. what would be my best approach here, just kill the hermie? i have the clones but now im wondering if im stuck with hermie prone genetics and if its even worth the time... Just let them flower (the green crack and gsc are flowering right next to eachother) and deal with the seeds? If anyone could give me some advice itd be much appreciated thank you.

im positive its a herm....its got the sacs and the female flowers. Id hate to toss it after all this time and care but it might be for the best and then just hope the clones dont hermie on me next time.

people will tell you, if you really want the meds you're gonna have to molest those buds and yank its balls off.... gently now.

screw hot soapy water.... thats like quick go piss, i cant have a kid. If fate works out like its supposed too, they have a kid. the water is to prevent a pollen explosion.

pluckem.....and keep checking if there are less than 10 your first go around i wouldn't worry too much
if there are alot.... i'd consider quarantine at least
some strains can be very fickle and will sprout male flowers if they get stressed.

i wouldnt toss a hermie if i only had acouple of plants because at that stage all of your plants are healthy because you want good smoke and freak out as soon as there is a dot on one plant man, plus I live in australia so when I get seeds off my mate idk what Im getting I usually just get like 6-7 seeds when he gets 20 he got me some amnesia haze I have to wait till march but Im afraid ill have to do alot of research, This strain is very finicky so I was wondering if anyone could pm some nice levels to feed this strain as its very easy to drown or overburn, so if anyone could give me some pointers, that would be awesome:bigjoint:

yes yes yes, dont destroy it, keep it and make sure its healthy you will get a big seed stock, instead of paying for more seeds just do it the classic way plant seeds throw the males out

its a male then? ive had hermies before but this one looks to be different, never even really saw white hairs but just kinda figured it was a female considering it was a fem seed :/

i only have one other plant...its a green crack and its looking good so far not a single nutsack (crossing fingers). so out of my order i got one usable plant out of three seeds...."fem" gsc turns out to be a male, trainwreck never even popped, green crack looking good so far :(. I was looking forward to the gsc too.
