discovered through reading entries and comparing pictures that i have 12 hermaphrodites, 8 are blueberry of which i trained for weeks they have many tops. the other 4 are 2 chronic and 2 ata tundras. Shortly after flowering i fucked up my light schedule drastically and have recently come to realise they all very much resemble 'hermies'. The plants were all from clones from decent females
CAN I STILL YIELD A DECENT AMOUNT OF SMOKEABLE BUD?
any estimates on how much bud i could possibly yield?? (may atempt to attack the balls as they appear to reduce seed growth)
will my seeds be female?
and wil they be cross bred with my varietys?
they are in the dark and have been for 3 days. they are 2 weeks into flower under a 600w in a home budbox tent. i need urgent help my herms have been in the dark for 3 days now, although they look healthy im concerned im harming them further. should i keep em going under the 600W??? help pleasee!!!!!!

just a few questions. what makes you think they're hermies? why have you had them in the dark for 3 days?

no one can tell you how much you'll yeild without looking at your plants and even then its a wild guess.
the seeds made from hermies will be more likely to be hermies them selves. hermies make hermies.
if all your plants are hermies then the pollen will be spread making the seeds a mix of the strains you have.
if you plan on keeping them picking the pollen sacks off won't do any good. once the buds get larger it will become very hard to spot them unless you have tons of time and a magnifying glass you'll never get them all. you'll still get some smoke but it will be full of seeds. my opinion would be to toss all the seeds in the trash as they're not worth keeping.
having them in the dark isn't doing anything at this point but causing further stress to the plants, more stress more pollen sacks. put them back under the light and let them go.
good luck

not so fast my friend! I just read that if the plants were stressed and became hermie, they should yield female seeds. But if they naturally turned hermie, THEN they are likely to yield hermie seeds.

Not positive - still figuring this hermie crap out myself, but I think thats the way it is.

Hermies are a myth, few pollen sacs means nothing on an almost female plant. Look up true hermies and youll see what i mean. Most likely the stress triggered a few pollen sacs no big deal, pics would help since were flying blind.

Never seen a true hermie on this site yet, they do exsist but very rare, breeders of feminised seeds avoid these traits so not really a problem and yes any seeds made from female plants with no males will be feminised seeds too.

Carefull with the hermie thing, all new growers think they got a hermie at some point, truth is far from that. I grow and breed feminised seeds for my grow and get male pollen sacs now and again, just pull them off and hope for no seeds, few seeds means nothing really, wont affect yeild, even a lot of seeds and the bud should finish at similar size, just most of it will be seeds, we all bought some weed at some point with a lot of seeds in, that will be as bad as it gets.

Pics would help here. Peace
