simply put, dont use seeds from a self pollinated hermy, high no. off hermies of them, but use the seeds from another lady that has been pollinated by the hermie then you get mostly female seeds imho.

you should check your facts because herm seeds will most likely be a hermie.your only half right. heres a piece fom Cannabis Culture Magazine
"It was very difficult to make these seeds," he explained. "There were several years of experiments that went into this. At first, we relied on the fact that if you let females flower a long time without getting pollen, near the end of their life cycle some will try to pollinate themselves. But this did not produce a reliable amount of pollen. Then, we tried hormone and chemical agents. The hormone produced pollen, but it also affected the plants in other ways that we didn't like. We tried other applications, and found some that could change basic female plants into plants that produced pollen, which we then used to fertilize other 100% female plants to produce what we used to call ?female seeds.'
"A lot of people think we have created hermaphrodites, but we take 100% female clones, and apply a safe chemical so the clones produce abundant male flowers. Then we take that pollen and fertilize other females with it. Seeds from this method will usually grow out female.
"In the beginning, some people were telling us that the seeds weren't producing all females, but we've discovered some strains don't work well with this process, and some of the success depends on the way they're grown. Now, we aren't getting those complaints. I sell a guy 300 seeds, and 298 of them grow out female. We are seeing that level of reliability."

happened to me last grow too... i picked what pollen sacks i could off. out of 4 huges plants and 4 oz or more, i only got 20 seeds and they are growing female from the seeds.. soo id pipck off the pollen and let them fully grow. there will still be bud and forget what all the professional growers say, just start a new batch after that.

Well I did pick off the sacks and no more grew. The buds are looking bad ass and by the looks of it, no seeds developing.
2 more weeks till chop chop
