Questions on herms and prego's

So i had finished my friends plant which we had found a few seeds when we harvested. it hermaphed but we werent sure when. I had 3 girls in the same room at the time, which are now in week 5 of flower. On 2 of the girls which were clones from his plant that went herm ive found a few matured seeds. Like popping out of the sack and solid mature. I cant seem to find any trace of bananas or male looking flowers on either of them...

The other girl which is a different strain is fine and i cant find any whitherd hairs or any signs of it being pollinated. And i now have i plants in veg that are ready to move to flower.

So my question is can a pollinated female give pollen sacks, or just seed?? Cuz the cuz the buds on them need a few more weeks.

Also do you think the herm would have just pollinated its clones and not the other girl by chance? or perhaps the clones also turned herms, though i cant seem to find any bananas...??

this is from the Grow Bible the link just above

Hermies cause problems because they may carry the hermie trait with their offspring. In fact, genetically the hermie will only produce female seeds and hermaphrodite seeds. It will never produce a male seed. If you have ever seen all female seeds been advertised by seed- banks then you should have the right to know that these seeds come from female plants which are stressed into producing male flowers. The plants then self-pollinate themselves and the results are female and hermaphrodite seeds. In a special case a female known as an XX female will produce more female seeds than hermaphrodite seeds. That is how female seeds are created. In general growers try to keep away from any hermie plants because they will spoil a Sinsemilla crop. Also having pollen floating around in your grow room from a hermie plant will spoil everything else including breeding projects.

Hope you can find your answers in here somewhere good luck...

thanks for those slinks...kinda helped.....But back to my question, DOES A POLINATED FEMALE MAKE POLLEN SACKS OR DOES IT JUST MAKE SEEDS?? i ask because i have removed the hermie(do to it finishing) and have 3 plants that were in there with it still there. 2 of the plants popped seeds(yes i missed them and they got all the way to majuirty).

So agian, DOES A IMPREGRENATED FEMALE( not impregrenated from its self mind you.....) give pollen sacks or just seeds.

I ask because i would like to still finish these 2 that got impregnated. While also finishing the other one wich some how did not get pregnated, as well as move my next flowering crop into the same room due to them being read.

believe me ive search both google and rollitup(though the search on rollitup sucks... i have to type what ever i need into google then type rollitup on the end just to get a rollitup opinion). And have read alot about the genetics and stresses that cause and come with hermies.

SOOOoo,

Is a prego female who did not impregnate herself considerd hermy? will it give pollen and seeds? or just some seeds? i cant seems to find the little ballsacks(ive had males and killed them before)

no i dont care about the seeds. not what im asking. no i care about it being clones from a mother that turned hermie, other clones that were finished early did just fine.

i just need to know wich there seems to be no info on is,

does a prego female(that didnt go herm but impregrnated) give JUST seeds, or seeds and pollen??

Thank you puff and paint.. luv ya, rep+...you as well totalyclpse, pages were more general info on hermaphs but imformative, ty for your help.

So the impregnated girls shouldnt be a danger to my new incoming plants as long i keep a watch out for male flowers, correct?

...suppose ill wipe down the room again as well...i wiped it all down when we harvest the hermaph, due to the plants being on a drain table and some water spots on the tent walls.

I am not sure exactly on this one either, I always got rid of any getting seeds because they turn crappy, or maybe they will produce male sacks not exactly sure though, but I didn't like taking risks.
