Keep it going a little longer, then when it pollinates some of your neighbours plants, you guys can have a talking point.

You can pull the male flowers if you need the smoke but get rid of the strain. Pain in the ass! No pollen no seeds.

That was totally ok, I just like the guys knowing we’re around too. I wasn’t referring to you at all when I made that comment. Also my apologies if I somehow jacked your thread I was just trying to change the subject back to hermies. Happy growing and I hope no more come balls come back on your plant.Whoa whoa whoa pump your brakes.

Possibly correlation i.e. random chance.

I agree with @xtsho on this. I’ve had the same clone, some unseeded and some from a seed-table run. The seeded bud smoked like the cosmetically nicer seedless bud.
I would characterize this as the result of personal research, and I do not understand your attitude which I see as parochial.

I cook with weed so I cringe when I see all those sugar leaves trimmed. That's what all the commercial growers make their oil from.

I smoke leaves? Thanks for informing me.
Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

Sorry... it was the OP that said he smoked leaves... apologies!
You did say chop the balls off.... that is a fool's errand IMO. Each to their own I guess

Well according to the OP both plants are showing balls so they might as well finish the plants out. They might get some seeds but at least they'll get some weed. I never said the situation was ideal but it is what it is. They can chop both plants and lose the time they spent growing them or they can finish them out and harvest some smoke. I never said plucking balls as they see them will prevent seeds. I'm inferring that a few seeds in the weed is better than no weed at all and it would be foolish to not finish the plants out.

It's not just as easy as blaming the breeder. Although there does appear to be some validity towards increased asexual reproduction due to poor breeding methods there are other factors that need to be considered.
All cannabis genetics are capable of asexual reproduction although only a very small percentage of cannabis plants will exhibit that behaviour. Some genetic lines are more prone to it than others. Also, there are factors that might contribute to a plants tendency towards asexual reproduction such as stress which can come from a variety of different sources. Irregular day/night patterns, excessive heat or cold, plant health stress due to harsh conditions or over fertilization all have the potential to cause a plant to reproduce asexually.
When you mention "breeder" the thing you need to consider is that most of these so called "breeders" are not actually breeders in the scientific sense. Making seeds does not make an individual a breeder. Real breeding takes years to develop a specific variety. Much of the seeds out there are merely F1 crosses from parents that were never actually bred out themselves. The cannabis seed market is full of pollen chucks from people that have no botany experience and just saw an opportunity to make some money. Anyone can chuck some pollen and make seeds. When people are paying $20+ per seed it's no surprise that people are going to capitalize on that.
There is a common misconception that all of these seeds are coming from breeders that search through hundreds or thousands of plants looking for only the best phenotypes to use for breeding. This is not the case. It used to be but not anymore. You will find some actual breeders that still search through a multitude of different plants and grow out generations of specific strains before releasing seed but there is likely more that just make a simple cross and release the seeds for sale immediately. The latter process can happen in just a matter of months while actual breeding will take years.
Whenever you have so much money available from an industry filled with so many naive consumers you are going to find people taking advantage of that.

Get rid of both of them and start again. I scrapped a whole crop on week 4... was painful... bit the right thing to do

The OP has six weeks at least invested into growing these two plants. How is scrapping the grow the right thing to do? You'd waste that time to grow because you might get a few seeds? A few seeds are not going to ruin your crop. If the grower had numerous plants and found one hermie amongst them then culling that specific plant would be warranted. But with only two plants and both showing herm just grow them out. A few zips per plant is better than no zips. And who's to say that a few balls will have any effect on yield?
