You're gonna get some seeds if you keep going. Not the end of the world. The question you gotta answer is why are so many going hermie on you?

2 weeks ago i stripped a load of leaves out and super cropped them too maybe the stress? the temps are 75-78 day 65 night rh 20%. other than taking a lot of leaves off each plant and super cropping ive changed nothing in the grow!!!
so you dont think it will make a big difference this late on? if so that is good news im sweating a bit been growing these plants for over 3 months-)

To me, a pot snob, it is a pretty big difference. But in earlier days I smoked a ton of shit with seeds in it and it still got me high. So it just depends on where you are at with your stash and what you need the bud for. If you are running out and all 4 are kinda small, I would grow them all out and know I'll be picking seeds out until the next crop comes in. I'd bleach the whole grow room after harvest. If they are pretty good sized and one plant will get you through to next harvest, then I would take out the 3 hermies.

If you can pick off all the male pollen sacs before they mature and produce pollen you should be ok, you'll still most likely end up with a few seeds, but no biggy, I mean,at 4 weeks of flower, I wouldn't throw my plant out for ANYTHING if I knew I could at least get a few buds out of the harvest.

And the other thing! I supercrop basically ALL my tops, and I practice HEAVY defoliation methods, and I've never had a hermie plant yet! I had a girl with ONE pollen sac on it. I plucked it off and never had a problem with it again! Could just be your genetics. I've been seeing a lot of people complain about GH genetics recently due to hermies
