Can hermaphrodites pollenate my veg plants??

i have now learned days away from harvesting that i have hermaphrodite in my flower room; big buds with a bunch of seed pods (i cant believe i didn't notice all these seeds earlier).

Not seeing the signs when it happened i believe since i never experienced this before. It is the first time I am flowering this breed. I obtained it as a mother plant and made clones from it. The person i received it from says it never happened to him. After reading some posts of people with the same issue, it seems that it happened by some sort of stress. I did have a stint of over 90degree temps and very high humidity in the 5th week of flowering and since fixed the challenge. i have to decide what i am going to do ( hopefully with advise from you experienced growers)

How the rooms are set up:: A door leads into walk into a grow room and from there i have a door into the flower room. Everyday when the flower room door opens (flower room lights are on of course) Air transfers from room to room hence pollen is almost definitely in my veg room. The plants that are vegging are ready to go into the flower cycle.

I do NOT want to grow another room full of hermaphrodites.

Questions;;
Is there any chance of these vegging plants not
turning into hermaphrodite?

Do they /can they/ will they be pollinated and
turn into hermaphrodite in the veg cycle?

In the veg cycle, Is there a way to tell if ladies have been
pollinated and will seed when they flower?

Also
I transferred the mom and little vegging ladies to a totally different location from
the grow room i mentioned above 3 weeks ago (miles away). I'm not sure when my flower room turned to hermaphrodite so i guess there is a chance those were pollinated before i moved them out?

Advise is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
I doubt a plant can be pollenated while vegging, though I'm no expert. From what I understand, females use their pistils to become pollenated, and since those don't show until after you start flowering, the chances of pollination should be low, if its even possible.
 
Well if your hermie polinates your plants it wont turn them into heries it will just polinate them. If you have air movement between rooms they yes it can polinate your plants. Pollen can travel miles in the wild so 4 feet will be no problem. Just because your plants are in veg doesn't mean that your plants don't have pistils. They can show sex early in veg and also if your plants are in veg and they are clones I am sure they most likely already have white hairs on them. You need to take out that hermi and harvest it! Is it the only plant in your flower room? If not then all your other ladies are going to go to seed also so you will be screwed on that too. I would get rid of the Hermi and move on from there. If you got it from a friend I would stop getting clones from that mother plant from him. Maybe move onto some regular seeds from a reputable breeder.

Edit: Sorry I didn't see that you moved you plants three weeks ago. I would grow them out if I were you bro but clean that room out and go with a different strain.
 
Oh and when you breakdown/harvest all your plants in your flower room I would give it at least one wipedown with bleach water. Make sure you get that flower room cleaned out completely! If not you will have problems later.
 
Howard beat me to it. The pollen will get to the plant and pollenation will be the outcome 999 times out of 1000.

Your friend needs to dump that mother if both of you get hermies.
 
Thanks for the responce. I wasnt clear ... all of the flowering plants (30) now have seeds. and i still have the vegging plats in the glow room ready to go into a flower cycle.... the mother and little ladies i mentioned that i took out 3 weeks ago and are miles away are for a different location. Again, Im not sure if i moved them out before the flower room turned. :(

im days away from the (now) herms fully ripened for harvest ... and I "CAN" begin a flower cycle on the veg plants that are currently in that grow room next door.

should i even waste my time flowering these 30 vegg plants (24" tall and bushy)?
do you think the mom and little ladies that are miles away should be put out of thier future misery?

Friend that I recieved the mom from flowered a few times already with no seeds at all (I guess i stressed the room).

I understand for some herms arent the worst thing in the world. I cannot afford to grow another room full.

thanks again for everyones thoughts and advise,
