Hermies Pollinating other plants?

You will end up with random crosses, especially if you had a fan in place.

I would like to add that there are controlled ways of producing feminized seeds. Allowing a few plants to cross pollinate freely is a headache, because you wont know what is what. I assume you are growing for personal use only....

I suggest you pollinate your ladies with a good male. I know its a pain for most indoor growers to take that 50/50 chance of male/female, but in my opinion it is a lot better than dealing with hermaphrodites. A good male can improve the genetics of any strain, where as a hermie will do the exact opposite; Loss of vigor is inevitable when breeding hermies...

Anyways, Good Luck ;)

I've had 2 herms before, the first gave me all fems that where skinnier than the mother. The 2nd I used another male on, they turned out normal.
Anyway to answer your question, I would bet there's an 80% chance the seds are crossed. A few will be the same strain but don't expect it and they're probably female.

ya i would just wouldnt plant any seeds from the plant that hermied.. and seeded itself.. put those away for new outdoor spots u need to test before making it a new spot.. but all the others.. are just feminized crosses.. some will have hermi tendencies. so becareful if u pop them.. need to keep a stress free environment to grow hermi seeds without them seeding out..

i just had a new seed plant.. from a cross i made.. pollinate lower buds on a few plants.. ill use them outdoors on test spots. but i wont risk any indoors with them.. also.. this is why its good to a have a flower room that can be a quarentine for new strains seed and clone.. before making it into the production room.

if u wana make fem seeds.. pick a female.. and spray with CS.. we are doing a fem seed run right now.. making like 30 crosses.. should be nice.. the work ive been doing is making some amazing plants.. i got a few males that kill it . with everything they touch it turns to gold.
