Hermie seeds...

Three of my plants were grown from hermie seeds from my last grow. The plant became a hermie from stress...

All three just recently were sexed and they are only showing female pistils, no balls. So am I in the clear or could they still develop male flowers?

did it pollinate itself or another fem????

umm its kinda a hit and go sitcho id say your chances of fems are higher but they may bust out some hermies too. umm if they are female then keep growing em dont stress them and theres a good chance theyll stay girls

I'm almost positive it pollinated itself as there weren't any males in the room or other hermies, I guess I'll keep a close a eye on them. If I do find male flowers can I just pinch them?

Sorry if I sound like a noob but I feel like all the other forums are full of bad info.

well pinch off the sacks and if more pop up pinch them too... finish off the grow and start over with new, UNHERMIE seeds or clones.

no you cant just remove the sacks... itd be good tho lol...

so theyre self pollinated seeds then.... just keep an eye on them and see what happens remove any hermies when you see them or that pollen will ruin other plants

depending where you live you may be able to put them outside to finish away from the true fems

That's certainly out of the question around here at least. I wish I could construct a nice outdoor garden though.

I will keep a close eye on them, If I do see male flowers should I just pinch them or cut the plant down?

I'm going to keep them for know and see if I could grow them out and get some good buds.

I have been growing Pink Kush for a few years now and gave my buddy all my clones since I thought I was done growing for awhile. He didn't clone them and instead just flowered them right away:wall: Luckily he got some seeds from hermies which I'm growing out right know trying to keep the strain alive. As far as I know I'm the only guy left Pink Kush genetics in this area. I'm going to keep them for know and see how they turn out. I also have 3 NL clones going and 3 black afghani. Hope all goes well

exactly! i was told that a hermie would make fem seed and it wasnt nescessary to use a hermie to pollinate a girl to get fem seeds......fucked me up cuz i only have 1 plant so i turned it herm so i could get fem seeds for my first serious attempt to do everything right with the right setup using the info i now know....so did i waste a female?

depends on how you made it produce the pollen so maybe not. there are a number of ways to make a female produce pollen some ways have less chance of having herm traits in the seeds produced.
