pointless letting them continue, once they are pollinated all the energy goes into seed production. the only reason you might leave them is to allow the seeds to mature

Let them go as long as u can then save the seeds when u find them for your next grow. Now that you have a mix of 100% female seeds you can go pheno hunting and have a possibility of finding something unique. Now for future refrence if you don't want hermies then u need to either buy better genetics (seeds)or stop stressing ur girls. Now this next batch of s1 seeds will have a slight tendency to herm on u even maybe worse depending on genetics and sense it got self.Most people freak out when they find a seed but not me I label them and save them cause u never know when and if maybe that strain will still be around and if there was something special there. Growing up I once planted a seed I found in a bag of really good weed and she smelled like a skunk the smoke was great , she had huge 3 leaflet leaves with thick odd shaped branches well to make the story short I wish I would of seed the *uck out of her cause I never seen nothing like her sense. Makes me wanna cry.

let them finish, if you cut early with the seeds mostly green you'll get bud with tiny seeds that stick which are next to impossible to remove

Grr I hate misinformation. Hermie plants will beget hermie seeds not female seeds. Unless you hermed them using chemicals and bred them you will have the majority of the seeds hermie. Not worth keeping them seeds IMO.

nahhhh keep it, just dont stress your plants, do a SOG with all those seeds, so they grow small, short life, and you do no stress techniques whatsoever, therefore, they are not stressed out, but it takes some serious stress to hermie a plant, either way to long in flowering, or light or enviroment stress

i had a male kicking around for to long which pollinated the 2 females. kicking my ass for it now. seems to be alot of debate on whether seeds from hermi's produce hermi plants. anyone have some clarification?

arguments will follow, all i know is i've seen both points of view
but i read enough posts by growers that tried using hermie seeds, and often got good plants
i've had the same, a hermie but was otherwise good, grown out 3 seeds, 2 out of 3 pure femme and no maleness, but it's a small number
