Can you kill the male parts of a Hermie?

Is it possible to pull the male clusters off of a hermie and get good bud? I have been using a pair of tweezers to pick off the clusters before they open. So far it has been easy. I understand this may WILL take daily care, but I was doing that anyway. Has anyone ever tried this? I have no other plants at this point so I am not worried about screwing up my plants. The plant seems to be female at the ends of the branches, then pollen clusters right under them. This is for informational use only, if I get smokable bud it is a plus. Any help would be great.

Is it a hermi female or a hermi male? By that I mean what sex is it. If its a male plant that shows some female parts your still screwed

This is why you dont grow one plant, you could easily have done more.

It is a female with male signs. Dog dug up the rest of my plants. This was for fun, last outdoor grow. I would never try and grow just one plant. I am setting up a grow room that is 8ft high by 5ft wide by 16ft long with 4 400w lights and lots of CFLs. The problem is that is hard to build a grow room without your wife knowing and it is taking longer than I had hoped. But I am 90% done now.

So far I have had no trouble picking off the male parts, the plant is about 85% female, with male signs mostly at the ends of the main branches. Have not seen any signs of seed production yet. Just got out of New Orleans, HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! Glad to be back home away from all that mess.

Too much work, pulled it up today. Buds were not getting bigger. Like I said, for my education only. I like this site but you have to wade through the BS to get to the real info, or try it on your own.
