Please help with Hermaphrodite decision

[Labrador weed]

Hello, i’m sure I stressed my plants out or bad genetics either way I have some hermaphrodites. I didn’t realize it early on because I haven’t grown anything in a long time And barely at all (helped some).
Basically I had five out of eight plants turn into hermaphrodite’s of two different strains.
I got rid of two but three more are well into flowering and have about four or five weeks left. I’m pretty sure the other plants have already been pollinated because there had been some pollen sacs that had busted on the herme plants.
One of my questions is should I keep these plants going so I can have a decent yield? because they look really nice even though they are hermaphrodites.
2nd question Will the pollen that comes out of these hermaphrodite affect my next grow or generations of growing to come after this?
Also Will a little bit of pollen only make a couple seeds where as a bunch of pollen will destroy a whole indoor crop?
Thank you for your help

Pollen will not stay viable for long without refrigeration. It may produce some seed that I would consider birdseed. Or femmed seed. The room only needs to be cleaned as per normal after harvest cleaning. Let it finish it won’t make your bud shitty, just seedy. Might lose some potency may be a wee bit harsher than sensi but not by much.

Make hash out of it. A little pollen in an indoor room with fans blowing around will most likely give you major seeds in all the plants. Spray it or bubble bag it.

In my experience just a few pollen sacks means just a few seeds. Grow it out. Watch them close for new ones. Clip them if they form.

grow it out

Thanks guys I’m going to grow it out
that’s what I really wanted to do at this point

Always tough for a noobie to be a man

if you have your doubts put her down

its what we do

eventually you will have another then another and you still won't know why

tho from the above single pic I see know Herming on the above plant

cheers/

Worst answer I’ve gotten so far
thanks!

A few open pollen sacs could mean hundreds or thousands of seed, dependent on when they burst and how far into flower your girls are. It only take 1 pollen grain to attach to 1 pistil to make 1seed. There are literally thousands of pollen grains in a single "sac". Now, since these showed some intersex tendencies from stress, that pollen may or may not be vible. It does carry the intersex from stress trait. If that pollen is viable and floating around in your flower area, and you have plants at a stage where pollination is possible, you will get female seeds that carry that intersex issue to your stressor/s.

As stated previously, doesn't mean the pot it isn't good being seeded, just less yeild and maaaaaaybe, a lil less potent, I haven't notcied the potency issue when I'm chucking tho.

you are in the new weed forum in the noobiy subforum asking the most basic 101 question ever

what did you expect

ask a real grower he will advise to remove the plant

That’s not necessarily true, I’m definitely not an expert but plenty of masters would disagree with what you’re saying (in my situation)
I wouldn’t disagree with you but I also don’t fully agree, plus that’s how they get feminized seeds from what I understand ( Buy pollinating females with Hermes) i’m pretty sure I just stressed my plants out Which means that the seeds I get will be just as good as the original seeds I received

Thanks for the answer,
I know a couple pollen sacs already busted so there was definitely some pollen floating around.
At this point I’m just going to ride it out since my two best looking plants are Hermes
I know I must’ve stress them because I have a couple different strains (I think because of nute lock out) And at least one of every single strain became a herme
I am switching to super soil next grow though so I’m looking forward to that.
Really my only concern with the Hermes at this point is that I end up having pollen floating around that seeds all my crops from here on out, will this inevitably happen?

No it won't happen. You can ensure this by spraying your flower area down with h2o. H2o deactivates pollen.

Haha is harsh is it sounds. He makes sense though. A hermie seed will result in another hermie. It just all depends what your after. If you can't afford to buy some more seeds at the moment. Let it grow but me personally I'll go hunting on I.G for 1$ seeds. I know of breeders that do that

Look for a light leak. For more then one to herm you most likely have light in dark cycle.

Well, you could have a Hermie trait introduced into the strain now that will emerge every time you grow those seeds.

Technically you never want to propagate negative traits, they will become dominant at some point.

Flip side if that's all the gear you have then roll with it. Just expect more seeds later.

Does the moon classify as a light leak?

 

[Blue back]

Shit didn't realize it's an outdoor grow.lolYou tell me does the moon cause herm.lol That is very different than an indoor light leak.

Think hes indoor, but I grow outside and inside and bright hunters moons have 0 effect on the bud. Moon light is pretty bright compared to zipper light and open air vents.

Means light leaks are overrated. Not saying they don't hurt but not so much. .

Not true. The way you put it is every herm seed will herm. Herm seeds are all I use outdoors. Guaranteed to be female and if one slightly herms that fine. Seeds for the next year.

Absolutely untrue light leaks and erratic light cycles are the #1 cause of hermaphrodites.
