Hermie Question?

If your plant turns Hermie does it stop producing THC? As well as does that mean that it has been pollinated, or there is pollen around?

I know plants can turn hermie just before harvest from stress, just want to make sure there isn't any pollen floating around.

I haven't found any Male with "hooks" or banana's. And was wondering if they can turn hermie without getting pollinated?

Thanks for any feedback,

Regards,

There is a lot of discussion on this. I've had Femaleseeds.nl stuff throw a single banana or two that I didnt find till harvest, and no seeds. The bud was amazing still. Then I've heard very legitimate smokers I know have a clone line finally hermie out, and the bud was a lot different, not as good.

There is an interesting recent thread about this in which people tell about harvesting dank bud from hermies which they
say is just as good.

dimebong is 100% right! Hermaphrodites will produce VERY good MJ, just like any other female plant (I've grown Hermaphrodites all the way too harvest). In my research, and I did a TON of it, some experienced growers feel that Herm MJ can actually be more potent than regular or non-hermed MJ. Reason; they are SURVIVORS! Think about nature; where are the largest fucking bears, fish, and moose in the World? Alaska! Think about it...

Hermie can be brought by pollination or stress. I had 1 greenhouse white widow and 1 world of seeds diamond line Madness. After harvest I lowered lights and stressed for a few months. This helped to get the lower bud sites mature and also turned them Hermie. I got about 18 mature seeds from madness and 6 from widow. Original seeds were fems. The madness smoke was the best I've personally grown so far.

Thanks guys, +rep. I was a little nervous about harvesting them, so many different opinions about this topic. But so far so good, 3 days and I have 4 plants trimmed and drying and 5 to go :S, so much work by yourself lol but what a satisfying one at that!

Merry Christmas guys!
