What to do with a hermi?

The plant had been flowering for 6 weeks... Throwing away would be a waste. Not a genetic herm, the light cycle got screwed up by a power outtage.

Let it ride all the way through harvest and collect your feminised (right?) seeds, in the meantime you might as well germinate another seed or three and wait for them to sex. bongsmilie

I believe that tru feminized seeds are produced from inducing herm then polinating a different female with the female pollen. Self polination can lead to genetic herms or worse.

LOL nope. I don't believe you can Tweak enough to make sure you get them before they explode.
Did you know that a male plant can become fertile in veg and Blow a wad of pollen.

if you catch the shit early enough and its not a natural hermi you can stop it

i have known people whos plant hermies on them from stress, and taken off the balls and it turned out fine and not only that they made that plant into a mother plant and all the clones were fine

Once a plant turns hermi it drops THC levels fast. I would rather Kill or gather seeds.

I've done this as well but never came out unscathed. Still has several seeds in the buds. No where near what would've happened had I not done anything.
