You have to consider the source sometimes. He was probably stoned out of his mind, shit I wish I was stoned out of my mind right now ...

female, male or herm it would still show sex.. there is really no reason to think herm, most of them show female and then down the road balls pop - if you aren't seeing anything they are just not mature enough yet.

also, just me, if they do turn out to be herms I would still grow them out assuming the balls can be snipped

Will do. Thanks man. I also read online (maybe it was youtube) where someone planted about 20 old pot seeds from the 80's and the same thing happened to him. All were hermaphrodite.

Nah ive popped/grew stuff 20 + that wasnt
all hermie not all old stuff is that way depends on the genetics your starting with and also was the seeds from a hermie to start cos like begets like as they say if its regs then your in with better luck providing you get them past the dying off stage popping old seeds isnt hard i find its just some pop then seem depleted of energy and run outta steam give up and die its been suggested pinto bean juice among some other things might help with that

I would take clones and save them. If they produce seeds I would germinate and grow them. It's not uncommon that you'll get herms from seeds and then future clones will be fine. You have nothing to lose by giving them time if you can. Best of luck on this.

Disappointing update. I think they are all hermaphrodite plants. It's now almost September and still no buds. Long stringy tops. Maybe because the seeds were so old?View attachment 5321874
