ITS A HERMIE, Should i keep "it" pics

Aight, so i have a lowrider thats 4 weeks old now and would finish in 4 weeks i believe. Its a hermie though, my question is if i should really keep it? would a hermie produce as much bud as a straight female? also i have satoris vegging right now and will flower next month, if they do get pregnant whats the worst that can happen besides a bunch of seeds... less yeild? i really want to keep it because its my first plant that is budding and ill have some good smoke from it maybe a month and a half from now, instead of waiting 3 months for my satoris to finish...what to do.


first 3 pictures are of hermie. it only shows the pollen sacs, i couldnt upload pictures of the cola buddin

the first and second pictures are definitely male. what strain are you growing?

look dude hermie dont produce much of any thing that is useful.. Plus if it pollinates your others babies than you just have a bunch of seeds then you wont have weed for a while man. If a female produces seeds she produces almost no thc. o so i believe is the case

only because those are pictures of the pollen sacs only, im 100 percent sure its a hermie cuz theres bud on the cola.

is this true? anyone?

The smoke will still be good, just full of seeds.

i would clip off every male part you see and make shure your light is on exactly 12/12

Hermie bud will still get you high, but not worth the danger of pollinating the others. And picking out seeds is nothing like from dirt weed, it will be like 1/2 seeds... small ones that take ages to pick off. You never get them all either and I heard its bad to smoke seeds.

yea haha!! there will be tons of seeds, I polinated a plant for my first time a few months ago,and i had wayyyy more seed than bud... it sucked... but kicked ass!
Kill that bastard!!!

uh, do some research first of all, hermies DO produce bud - they just also produce male flowers which pollenate the bud. second, "if a female produces seeds then she produces almost no thc" is completely unfounded; its true that SOME energy for THC production will go into seed production but not all of it!! ive seen hermied weed w/ hermies on EVERY budlet and the weed was really good. it hermied about 45 days in, then it was immediately harvested after hermying. as long as you harvest, youll probably end up with good weed (prolly premature though). the thing is, as soon as it hermies you need to either harvest or kill it - because it WILL seed up and there WILL be a nasty ratio of bud:seed.

you're definately right about the seeding up, and in no way am i backing up hermies! im just saying that if it hermies and you harvest, youll have premature bud where as if it hermies and you let it grow out, youll have a retarded amount of seeds. its no fun, i would kill it if its just 1.

also, on another note - i absolutely HATE those tiny little seeds that riddle the bud with hundreds of them, and its not really a good idea to let them grow out either lol.

hes right, hermies make buds, and seeded bud still can get you blazed. if youev ever smoked shwag, or grown for seed you would know that first hand.
but there are two kinds of hermies, male dominant, and female dominant, the plant in your picture looks like it is definetly male dominant, and will produce a very small amount of buds, and there will be pollen all over the place. and its just not fun
if it was a female dominant hermie, and there werent too many pollen sacks you can posibly pick them all off, and get almost all of them if you look carfuly, but that isnt an option with his plant
