I have a plant that went hermie due to stress. (transplanted late). I still have a week or so left but I just germed 3 seeds that came off the plant several weeks ago and they are sprouting already. I believe as long as the seeds have hardened then they are probably viable already.

I have the same issue and I have pulled some seeds off already... I believe the plant focus' on the seeds before the buds once pollenated.. That's the point of her life.. We just don't want the bitches to get pregnant so she will continue to flowering to her potential and it would take her longer to finish.....

I have the same exact situation atm, plant has about 3wks left and i have already pulled about 10 seeds off her... looks like she is going to produce even more seeds too..
I am trying to germ two of the seeds right now to see if they are viable or if i pulled them off too early.. time will tell

I think the more seeds the less it concentrates on buds.. so a bud with many seeds won't fill out like it would without..
Especially if it hermed.. which means it focused on male flowers..

The plant can only create a certain amount of energy that it uses for what its doing.. no seeds, focus' on buds... half seed, half and half... lots of seeds, focus' on seeds and the buds sit on the back burner and get the left over energy..... hermie, usually means lots of seeds plus it stopped budding and started throwing male flowers...

All depends on the amount of energy your plant transfroms..
