so im around 3 weeks into flower and 1 of my 4 plants is producing the little balls, what looks like what will be seeds. i would add pics but my camera sucks for that close of a picture, i know its a hermie by other pics ive seen. they only show up on the low branches that only have little popcorn buds on them, not my main buds. i wanna know if i can just cut these branches off when i see them and still grow it out. i really appreciate any help or past experience on this, and ideas on what my options are to save this harvest, thanks. rep for help.

on some of them there have been hairs growing out of them. but they look like they could grow into seeds in the future, my lights come on at 9pm so im gonna try to get some pics of it. and its not just one pod, some are fat and 1 pod, and others are grouped up together.

males don't grow the seeds, they grow little balls stuffed full of pollen , its the female pods that hav pistols sticking out of them that grow seeds. and post up some pics and we could probly identify if it is a hermie in a moment

If you don't want to keep that hermie in order to keep your other plants unfertilized, why don't you take the hermie out and away into nature and plant her to pollinate herself so you can use the seeds if you want

Why? It'll only make hermie plants.

has anyone grown out a hermie? what were the results? will those seeds be feminized?

Well, maybe.
To get feminized seeds you stress a known female to go hermie. You take that "female" pollen (from the sacs that form on her) and pollinate another known female. All the seeds will be feminized then.

Personally, I wouldn't keep it at all. However, Weedoozie is right... In his own way. Remove her from any other unfertilized females you may have (everyone should do this). And if you're the adventurous type, grow it out somewhere else and you can harvest it later. It's still smokeable. But I don't believe the male sacs have nearly as much tricomes as female buds do. Potency is a limit of the strain, not necesarily the sex of the plant. We don't smoke male plants because the smoke would be very harsh. It's not that it wouldn't get you high. Male plants DO carry THC as well. It's just tricomes production (and therefore THC volume per media) is concentrated mostly on female buds (and then the leaves, and then stems).

Soooo.... yes, you can grow the hermie and smoke it. I wouldn't. Weedooize would. Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.
