Anyone try breeding a male plant with a primarily female plant?

I have a pure male and my primarily female plant midway thru 3Rd week of flower already forming buds.

So far I've pulled 3 mini pollen sacs.

What would be the result of breeding these 2 plants?

Hope the pros can help me on this
Thanks

I wouldnt breed with it if its herming out already, better stock out there for the future, collect the male pollen if its a good specimen and move on.

You think my hermie will still produce decent product?

dont breed a hermie. however, know the difference between single calyx (often with hairs) and balls.

No they pass the trait on to whatever you breed with, so it's not a good idea.

it may produce decent product for this run, even IF it is a hermie. remove balls as they form, dont clone it, dont breed it. do a good clean up job of tent afterwards to kill pollen. Start fresh seed for next run.

Thanks bro I will keep plucking hopefully get some decent nugs.

Had one more question. would a stressed female produce pollen sacs towards the beginning stages of flowering?

I read how femenized plants are stressed towards the end of the flower cycle for feminizing reasons.

Is it possible the stress was induced pre-flower stage and turned hermie then?

I dropped it in a smart pot sideways right after a transplanted it.

yes, early stress can cause hermie, but not in a stable plant. read link below.
