I m for sure no hermies only 3 plants all girls. I was thinking might be pollen from outside? Some other plant is that possible?

They are hermies. Your plants are female but you did something to stress them wich caused them to hermie. Look forward to a shit load of seeds. wich is probly not a bad thing if you ordered them offline cause mostof the seeds will be female. Good luck

...yeap, yeap...you have a hermie. If you grew the plant from seed, you've grown a cross gender plant. If you got it from a known female's clone, you've stressed the plant to cross gender.

Most hermie related stress is due to temps being too hot, light leaks, bad air circulation, exc...furthermore, a sensimilla plant is on an endless mission to reproduce, therefore, any stress can cause a female to cross gender, which in turn produces pollensacks. The pollensacks release pollen into the air during bloom. The pollen sticks to the female pistols, or hairs....and this is called pollination. Pollinaton = seeds, and by the way, the seeds will produce hermi also.

No....I think in your case you have stressed them out and they turned hermie. Check your box for light leaks.
seed from a hermie plant are going to be hermie seeds.
im not experinced in this but i have heard that a hermie plant can produce female seeds along with hermies. producing more females than hermies....But you might be right.

...one more thing. Here's the gist, if you can catch the pollen from a hermie and use this pollen on a garantee female, you produce what they call feminized seeds, you then garantee that the offspring will not produce males. You do however have the possibilities of producing hermies, but the odds are something like 90% female, 10% hermie.

...in your case, the plants pollinated themselves (or a hermie pollinated another hermie) therefore will produce only hermies.
