If a plant self-pollinates, it'll produces 'feminized seeds', or so the legend goes. I do know that if your plant is stressed it can produce a hermie. My recent crop started to hermie, like all 6 of my ladies were freaking out, but then I realized I had been stressing them with cold water, so I plucked all the male parts off, started heating my water before using, and the problem cleared itself up. I actually pulled and smoked the 7th I had, was the worst affected, and even a month premature and with both sexes it still got me a decent buzz.

That's crazy it was the water, I've heard of that, but they must be sensative plants if they were going herm on you.

If your plant is showing male parts early into flowering, its not going to be a fun harvest, and even though you can pick them off, you pretty much have to make that a daily chore: inspecting your plant for unopened flowers.

They will keep growing them, and they'll usually grow them in spots not visible, unless you rip apart the bud. I'd still finish them off, just to get some smoke, it will get you high just fine, but it won't be killer herb.
