One plant hermied and pollenated the other one

I have about 15 ounces of incredible bud, but it's seedy because of a later flower hermie situation. Such a bummer. Anyone have any new tips or hacks for seed removal? Or am I looking at a fingers and a frisbee or a Led Zepplin album cover like back in high school?

Squish the bud unfortunately until the seeds pop out..I'm not big touching buds until the grinder but got to get them out of there.
Is it a lot of seeds?
 
Really? I didn't even consider keeling the seeds. Maybe I'll have to try a run of the White Widow x Bubblegum blend. Once it dries my plan is to de-seed in a plastic bag. Basically crush the buds up without touching them with my fingers. Then pour it into a frisbee and vibrate out the seeds. PITA, but it is what it is!

Let it dry good and like you said break out the LED zeppelin album cover. The seeds from hermi plants pollen will only produce female plants,

no they don't. usually they produce primarily hermie seeds first, fem second, and males likely never.

and if the hermi pollen pollinated non-hermi plant's those are less likely to hermie on you.

this will raise your chances of a fem plant.


femmed seed is not made from hermies and no self respecting breeder or grower ever uses selfed seed, or hermie pollen from a femmed plant. all that does is strengthen and propagate the hermie trait.

femmed seed is always made from reg photos. a female is chosen for cs or sts treatment, then the pollen is collected and that plant is destroyed. the pollen from that plant is used to pollinate a second reg fem pheno of the same strain, those will be femmed seed going forward.


the fact the plant voluntarily hermed shows it has shit genetics.
 
im one poor old guy who is getting by the best he can. I've grown hermies since the 80's with very little problems. I'm growing inside, I'm not degradeing any gene pool. 99 percent of the time my plants from hermie seed do not produce hermie plants... just trying to get from seed to papper to ease the pain
 
I would throw 50 seeds on a 12/12 schedule just to proof once and for all the female tendencies of those seeds. If you avg over 90% female non hermies I would call this one busted. You have almost no chance of getting a male that’s for sure.

May I add something in late flower is triggering that Stamen in the calyxes, either the feeding schedule at the end, or drought, or the photoperiod itself is making your plant hermie or self pollinate. I for one believe that the offspring of self pollinated have a utility but it takes years to get ride of hermaphroditism. They are not worth nothing for commercial purposes. For personal pleasure they smoke fine, never seen a rastafari complain about seed in his bud.


It would be nice to see some pictures.
