Sorry to hear that, if the plant has hermied that late (weird), it shouldn't have had time to fuck with the rest of your plants as long as they only have a week or 2 left. I would finish it ( damage done already once the sacks rupture) as it definitely will be smokeable. The seeds being fems is a crap shoot, I would not count on it, especially if your plant hermied on it's own (genetic fuckup), and not stress. One thing for sure, especially if in a tent, wash the shit out of it, because the pollen will hang around for a year, no problem.

If it really "just" hermied, you wont have any developed seeds on the diesel. But the pollen will get the Afghani and probably see some seeds. If you really want to finish the diesel I would try to find all the bananas and pull them off. Are you seeing any red hairs on the afghani plants? That look like they are shrinking in early? if so, it is probably already pollinated.

has hermied in the last 2 days and ive picked all the bananas of too there were about 15-20 of them...the plant has been well looked after temps good... light times good... no light leakage but maybe a little to many newts could that have been the reason?

Nute overload is what causes a lot of hermies, although any stress can do it. If you were nice to your plants, it probably is genetic, and shit happens. Some strains are worse than others, so take a note on that plant type, and if you want to grow it again, just keep an eyeball out.

It sounds like that one had it in its DNA so any seeds will.more.than likely carry that same hermi shit. The plant sometimes throws out male parts as a last ditch effort to pollinate itself before the end of its life.
