i got some cuttings of a friend and i planted them a couple of weeks ago and my friend just finished flowering and he realised that he had Hermaphrodites in his crop. his plants came from the same motherplant as mine and i was just wondering what are the chances i get hermies in my crop? and does the Hermaphrodite proplem start in the motherplant? any help is highly appreciated.

Lots of variables.. He may have stressed HIS plants which caused them to herm... Or the mother could be a Herm... Too hard to answer without more info.
 
If he did not realize he had hermies until he finished flowering is that because they were not that bad and hard to spot (as in just started to hermie at end of run)? Or because he just simply was not paying attention? If his crop did not hermie till the end more than likely it was due to something he did to stress the plants out. I stressed out one of my crops before by changing nutrients during flower and had hermies pop up around week 4, i sprayed with Reverse and Saturator and was able to kill off all the bananas. However if it is genetic, Reverse may not work, or if it does, any clones taken from that crop will continue to hermie as well. Best bet is to just watch and hope he stressed his crop out. But if yours hermie as well I also advise getting rid of them after your run (if the Reverse works).

I think you might get a few seeds but nothing that bad. It all really depends on if the male pollen sacks opened or not.
