hey i have 6 plants i started all of them except a sour d i got from my buddy and i accidentaly chopped off one of the two tops early into flower and next time i came back it was taller with purple pistls bannas and either empty or full seed pods.. (outdoors btw)
beside it is a short indica bush, there are 4 more of the indicas a few hundred feet away in dif spots..
will the bud be any good on the hermie, will the seede be any good on the hermie and what happens if the hermis pollinates any of the other fems will the seed be useable?.

If a hermi pollinates your girls , then the seeds you get from them will have hermi gens

Im not saying the plants that grow from those seeds will be hermi also

But you will have a much high chance of them being hermi

I thought if a hermie pollinated the plants they'd be feminized? or did I read that wrong?

Your seeds wont be fem seeds they will be hermi prone seeds

You can get fem seeds by making a hermi , but not by a hermi like your thinking

Their are a couple of methods that are used to make fem seeds


Besides using ethylene antagonists such as colloidal silver, silver nitrate, silver theosulphate, gibberellic acid etc, there are basically only two alternative ways to "reverse a female" (technically a wrong expression, but seems common enough!) ...

1) STRESS
Stress can trigger a female to throw off a few bananas, and techniques such as "light poisoning" can be used. This requires that the plant is susceptible to hermaphroditism, and doesn't work with all strains. Resulting offspring used from the feminised pollen may exhibit hermaphroditic tendencies.

2) RHODELISATION
This is the name the breeder Soma gave to the process by where a very mature female at the end of her life throws off a few pollen bananas. This resulting pollen is feminised, but as if it had been induced by old age rather than CS. This doesn't always happen, it takes a very long time for it to happen, it usually requires taking a female beyond her usual harvest window, and it doesn't result in much pollen at all, so it's very much hit-and-miss unfortunately.

i wouldn't keep a plant with bananas near my female plants. you will end up with seeds in all of your plants. move him or chop him.

every plant has a chance of being hermie. the other 5 are from bomb ass kush that had seeds in so they could have been from hermie plants and all of htem are 100% female

the hermie was not started by me but idc cuz i like growing and seeds are good

Myself, I would not waste my time growing from hermie tainted genetics. I cannot see where just because the seeds being free seeds makes up for how they are tainted. But that's just me.

As for the rest of the plants being; "away from there," or as it was previously stated; "a few hundred feet away," that is a short distance for pollen to travel. Pollen will travel on the wind much farther than that and with the help of things like bees, butterflies, etc. pollen will travel much, much farther.

Im saying that seeds that come from hermis pollinating a female are the ones with a higher chance of being hermi , Much higher then just seeds produced by males

Every plant ( MIGHT ) have a chance of coming hermi , but taking care of it properly will drop that chance to almost none
