Hermie Seeds

Hey RIU, just had a quick question about hermies and the seeds produced.
My first grow went great until about 4 weeks into flowering i started seeding pollen sacks. I only grew one plant so a male didnt do this. My plant gave me quite a bit of seed. I dont know what strain I grew as it was bagseed. But should the seeds from that plant be female aswell?

Shit seeds.......unless you like to smoke seeds- then you're in luck! Bag seeds should stay in the bag IMO.

I've had real good luck so far with all my bagseed being female, but Gro is 'rite', LOL
Somebody else had warned me about the good chance of the hermie trait also.
Out of 4 so far, 3 were all different leaning towards the Indica side, and the only one that kicked out a handful of seeds was 1, that was heavy Sativa.

I fimmed n topped about a dozen times n cut over 150 major fan leaves off her throughout her life exposing bud sites... she was a training experiment really n turned into this...since it was bag seed I butchered her to see what training would have what effect....anyway she pollinated herself and an auto bubbleicious near by so we'all see if hermi seeds from self pollinated are fem....and we'll see if a straight female pollinated by hermi produces fem seeds....I have healthy seeds of both...I found 3 critical kush seeds in a pack of bud I'd been getting from my guy for a while who grows feminized critical kush seeds from Barney's farm...that all he grows...one hermed n seeds came...I found 3 in a qp... all 3 were straight female seeds...this just happened to me

I've had some hermies that I didn't know about until trim time. I saved the 50-60 seeds I got off of it. My next grow I tried them out and had one herm out of three. I notice if you had a herm and you do one thing wrong you're fucked. If you gotta grow out a herm seed be extra careful but it can be done if you're a small, personal med grower like me. Some of you other larger growers wouldn't want to deal with it.

look at this way, if some plants hermie is that worse than having some males?
just rip 'em out, just like any male
though you might have to keep a closer watch than regular males, since some hermies can be stealthy
