Hermy infiltrated my crop

So I was looking at my clones that I took from my big plants at around 13-14 days flower....one of the clones had balls growing. I quickly checked the plant it came from only to discover it had a bunch of tiny, tiny little balls along the very lowest buds. A bunch of them were burst open so I'm pretty sure my entire crop has been pollinated. I'm pretty pissed right now. I was so careful watching these things, and then after a few weeks in flower I figure I would've seen hermy signs by then. They were so freaking hidden too. GRRRRRR.

Here are my questions for all of you who have dealt with hermies:

How are seeds in my buds going to affect my overall yield (assuming I pick out most of the seeds).

I grow in a DarkRoom grow tent. Is my whole tent "infected" now with pollen meaning that my next grow could become pollinated as well?

Is there anything I can do with my tent/grow room/grow equipment to ensure it doesn't have pollen on it that will pass on to the female clones that go in there next? Bleach water maybe?

I'm super pissed and wish I could post pics of this bastard freaking plant. You would never have known it was a hermy it was budding beautifully along with the rest of them.

1. if they have been pollenated then it will affect your crop hugh all the bud production now goes in to seeds but theres an up side if your clones were from a true female then you now have femized seeds but theres a hitch since then went hermi on there own there week backcross or when you grow the seeds pollenate them with a normal male to get a good batch of seeds.


2. yes bleach the hell out of that tent but most pollen will die off with in a week or so

DONT just pick the seeds out that will just fuck your buds up

hey if you dont wont the seeds sent'em my way what strains did you grow

I'm so bummed out that I let this happen. I was so proud because this is my first crop and they are only 3 weeks into flower and they are frosty and really smelly and big! Now I am in despair.

Is there any way to tell whether or not my other girls got pollinated? I noticed the hairs on some of the buds of the hermy turning red. Is this because it was a hermy or because it was pollinated? There's an oscillating fan and also air flow in and out of the tent so I see no way in hell some of that pollen didn't get circulated to every single plant.

I cut down the hermy of course. It will probably yield like an eighth . My fingers were so sticky and my scissors had hash on em when I was done with it though. Guess I'm growing em good. Sucks hard I was so excited for a nice first harvest and now it's gonna suck.

red hairs do noramly mean they "FUCKED" LOL also when you clean scrub in your fans and air lines and shit

None of my other plants are showing red hairs yet, still healthy and white. I hope they stay that way but like I said....I don't see how there's any chance in hell. So many of those little bastard balls had already bursted open. ARGGHHHH.

Gonna go to sleep. Gotta work in like 4 hours and haven't slept cause I've been trimming down the little bud that damn thing had on it and hanging it up to dry. At least I'll have a tiny bit of smoke though I don't know how 3 week buds will be, never had em.
