My feminized seed showed odd development when flipped into 12/12 I was First time growing feminized. The growths now look more like plant growth than pollen sacks.

If it is hermie will it pollinate my other female plants? If so how long do I have before I need to pull It i figured i could wait till 20 days in just to make sure it was or wasn't.

Also if a plant hermies and creates seeds are those seed good to germinate? will they have the same chance of being male/female of the genetics of it's mother? or are the seeds bunk too?

Wait until you definitely identify male flowers before pulling - they are obvious (look like little footballs on a stalk). Fem'd seeds have a greater tendency to herm than non-fem'd, and if you get a batch of seeds due to a herm they too have a higher rate of cross dressers.

lights on at 9pm central I'll take one and get it up here tonight, It just sucks it was my fav plant of the bunch.

Will the sac in hermies release pollen? Is it ok to grow out a hermie? an do people keep the seeds? I see alot of bagseed on here taken from dank wouldn't that dank have to be hermie or is it just it did it at the very end of the season.

I would love to grow it even if the bud will be sub par. I DON"T WANT TO RISK THE FEMALES THOUGH.

male flowers take time to develop same as female flowers my first ever plant turned out to be male so i decided to let it grow to see what happened you have a fair while to spot them and nip them off in time before they release there pollen.

watch the third pic at the top its looks male but the other looks fine imo, just watch out you dont want to take to long to remove it or else it may pollinate the other females.

the four top pics are all the same plant a feminized seed which did not show male presex.

This growth only showed when flipped to 12/12

So how long is it OK to grow out a hermie to they release pollen? are my other females in jeopardy keeping it alive?

If it is ok to grow out are the mature seeds it creates good to germ?
