Thought I share with you;
Back I 2013-2014 I started growing a Mexican brick weed seed and a Jamaican seeded bud. Both buds had seeds.
Grew them poorly I had no experience. I had a legit female from the Jamaican seed, pheno looked Sativa dominant. And I had that Mexican brick weed seed throw out a “male”… the pheno showed first male flower at around 2 weeks after flip.
As the flowering advanced my Mexican pheno started to grow pistils completely apart of the male balls.
I didn’t kill it, I liked the pheno. And back in 2014 no one on this community was able to help me. No one knew anything about hermies, because all they did was kill them.
This was the Jamaican pheno, one of a kind I have never seen it again;
What I ended up doing was letting that Mexican pheno destroy all with pollen.
After that I grew a bunch of the seeds in one soil bag; to see their sex; and if they hermie. I threw like 50 seeds in a bag of soil… to my surprise a lot sprouted and a lot not female. I had males, hermies and females… Genetics right? I had no clue of anything but I kept the seeds of the best looking female of that bunch (I still had pollen from the Mexican pheno, that’s a back cross. I did it with out knowing anything)
I stopped publicly posting after that, I started working on stabilizing the pheno and that has taken years. Fast forward until today I had this last year;
Full on female robust and long flowering. I finally get to see the work unfold. No hermie traits at all on that pheno. I have hundreds of seeds I need to try before saying it’s stable. In all honesty it’s taken many years to achieve that last photo. But it’s my only proof that hermie can be breed out of a cultivar. It just takes for ever and it doesn’t produce money, it consumes lots of resources because the many grows you have to do.
So my 2014 question still stands, what do you do when a Male turns hermie? Have you ever seen a male turn female and self pollinate? Is there any information on the internet regarding this?
My journal had absolutely no feedback at the time because no one new anything. I’m 10 years from that moment and I have a stable plant I haven’t seen a hermie in years (until now that I start again playing with Auto flower).
All I look for is collaborative effort in information sharing.

those long skinny Sativa leaves. They look 
so pretty 
. Nice work brother. CL

their people are incredible humans, they way they live, their culture, the food is insanely good. At the time I wasn’t on a vegetarian diet so I had all the adobo possible. We want to go back. Finding the cannabis was the cherry on the top. I remember the high such an energy upper, fairly mellow for a Sativa but it’s a make you feel good sensation. I have so much respect for the growers there, they still do it even if the sentences for cannabis are so harsh even death penalty… hats off to them. 
shape the apical dominant top was hard to train, took multiple breaks for it to stay down and hook. She is looking way better now. I haven’t seen the root or reservoir.
