I WANTED TO KNOW IF I HAVE A HERMAPHRODITE AND I WANTED TO POLLINATE ONE OF MY FEMALES TO GET A DIFFERENT STRAIN WOULD THAT WORK? OR IF I JUST LEFT IT IN WITH THE FEMALES WOULD IT POLLINATE THEM ON ITS OWN? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT I HAVE PICTURES IF NEEDED. MERRY XMAS AND SMOKE AT LEAST ONE DAILY!!!!

So I Should Just Chuck It Or U Think I Should Continue To Flower? They Have Been 12/12 For 3 Weeks And Show Lots Of Bud And Only One Pollen Sack On One Of The Nodes.

but what you don't know silly is that pollinating a female with a hermaphrodites pollen is how they make feminised seeds! :) cuz it's like two chicks havin a baby together, the idea is that the seeds produced (most of them) will render seeds that have no male chromosome. BUT, you are not an experienced breeder and I don't condone you doing this :|

go for it...hermies can easily be cured with Dutch Masters Reverse...just spray the hermie and all male flowers and their resulting pollen will not produce seeds...I spray a suspected hermie in weeks 1, 2, and 3...no seeds at all...

If you already see male flowers, you will probably have some seeds...they will all be female and may be hermies too, so I'd spray them as a precaution when you grow them out...

Lots Of Advise...very Cool Guys Thanks..well I Got Rid Of Them Except For One...i Am Using A Method Where I Cut The Top Off The Hermie And Put It In A Plastic Cup With A Little Hole On The Bottom. Then I Put The Plastic Cup Into A Cup Full Of Water. What Should Happen Is The Top Will Keep Growing Till The Pollen Sacks Open Leaving Pollen In The Water. Then Ill Remove The Top And Pull The Plastic Cup Out Of The Water.as The Water Drains Out Of The Hole It Will Leave A Film In The Bottom Of The Cup(pollen) And I Will Collect It With A Q-tip And Store In The Freezer In An Airtight Bag. Then Ill Take A Female Of Good Genetics And Rub Just A Little Pollen On One Of The Nugs Giving Me Nice Seeds But Not Ruining My Whole Crop..picked This Up From My Local Canabus Club Guru.

my last grow i had 3 females and one hermie. i got all freaked out and clipped all the pollen sacs for a while. i was gonna throw it away but said fukk it and finished flowering it in the same room with the other plants. i just put it in a different flower box. even my friend here said dude all your bud is gonna be seeded. even after a week of clipping the pollen sacs i got tired of it and let it go by itself. out of a couple of ounces i found 1 seeded bud and like 1 or 2 other sporadic seeds. still got sensimilla. i am sure it could probably fukk your world up too on the other hand.

Do you have a picture? If it has not been that long and you are only just now see what looks like to be a hermie I woulnd't be so haste about chopping. And what he said about fem seeds is right so that could be an option.
