I beg you for advice. It was only at the end of the flower cycle that I noticed that all three of my plants were hermarodites. I have another week until harvest, what is the best thing for me to do?

Let them ride...you will have good smoke and maybe some good free seeds...pita picking them out, that's all.

You need to figure out why they hermied and fix the issue for your next run.

Hmm I dont see any male pre flowers or "nanners" as we call them. Pics are a little blurry. Are there little yellow bannanna looking things growing out of the flowers? Even if they are hermies theres not much you can do now...pluck off the visable nanners and hope for the best.

After looking at the pics better I can see some seeds forming so I guess they are herms...

On a side note, less nitrogen next flower period, other than that, looking frosty op!
Happy harvesting when you do.

Thank you very much for your reply. This is my first grow so I was afraid my smoke wouldn’t be good.

Just ensure you let her finish as per normal...your yield will be reduced, but you will have smoke.

Nothing to do now besides ride it out. If it's for personal use, it's all good man! Pick them out and smoke up. If it's your career, then you really want to get this issue fixed next time around, as herms are dramatically less profitable obviously. Could be a few things, usually a light leak, a finicky strain, some induced stress like a broken branch, drought, etc., or chronic feeding issues (too high or low of food). In all cases, genetics strongly influence susceptibility.
