Damn, they hermied on me. Damage control?

I noticed this week that some of my lower buds were looking funny, and I saw a ton of seed pods. I figured they were just swollen calyxes, but I took a sample and found immature seed inside.

So I took out each plant and inspected them closely. Four out the the five had some burst pollen sacs. Not that many, but as a lot of you will know, it really only takes one. The only plant that I didn't spot any on is a really skinny one that only has two nice tops.

The tops on most of my plants still look pretty good, though. It looks the pollination mostly took place on the lower branches where the flowers were really small anyway.

That's the risk I took by planting bagseed, but it's still a blow. I'm looking to move in a couple months, so I don't have time to start a new grow. All I can really do now is let them mature, I'm sure I'll still have some good shit. I'll just always ponder what could've been ;_;

What I want to know is how to make the best of the situation. More specifically: any ways to aid my topmost, still quite viable buds.

inspect them every single day for pollen sacs and try to cut them off before they open, there's not much you can do about the pollenated buds except let the seeds mature and save them for your next grow. they should be feminized seeds.

I've heard that both ways, though. I've heard so many people say hermies will produce feminized seeds. But I've heard just as many say that hermies make hermie seeds.

But if it DOES give me feminized seeds, that would be a real silver lining! Because I think at my next place I'd be able to swing a microgrow.
