Few Questions for a big plant

Its a little long of a post but interesting, so read and see if u can answer:

Okay, i havent been able to get pics of my one beast that lasted but thats only bc i have a huge digital SLR camera where i physically cannot bring it in with the size water jug i carry! One day tho b4 harvest im gunna get alot of pics.

I do somewhat know what im doing, from being on here for years, but am young and still have years to practice. I had a very successful indoor, however outdoor, this is my first time.

This grow consists of one remaining Haze plant, now 7' flowering crazily in a 5 gallon pot with a soil mixture of coco-coir, fox farm ocean forest, perlite, vericulite, earthworm castings, bat guano, and a bunch of other stuff i use.

I originally had more plants, but for some reason, i believe hermie maybe made the seeds not so good and alot of them were male? Because i got these seeds from a very good batch of haze that had maybe 5 seeds per big nug. Now i had started with 6 plants, 2 died from animals, 2 were males but about 20' away amongst alot of weeds/bushes that i let die off. Then i had 2 plants remaining, they started to show sex very late bc i had topped and suppercropped them and had other issues. When i had the 2 plants together, i was basically sure they were both female, but the next time i went i saw one was a male and immediately moved the female.

Today i went to my plant, which has been flowering since about the end of august, i havent been there for a while bc i was just out of town for a week, but right before i left ther got 2 1/2 gallons/feeding of guano and castings 2 days in a row. The plants were filled up much more than before, i have about 6 solid main colas, i guess the supercropping/topping/real early planting from seed (april 20) did its job great, but i have 2 main issues. I noticed, just like the haze i had originally found the seeds in, there are about 2-3 seeds per nug, def seeds because i took one off and opened the sack to find a early developed seed in a sac covered with trichs. Thats my first issue, the fact of there being a few seeds and under this ill ask questions. Now my second is this, about a week or two ago i had to bring a big stalk of bamboo and tie up all of the branches due to the buds being too heavy. Ive went back a couple times to see how flowerings doing, but a good amount of leaves seem to be pretty yellow

Now the questions

-Is it hermie bc of genetics?
-Is it hermie bc of the male plant that was next to it for a day or so? The other plant wasnt really flowering yet?
-Will the few seeds that are already pretty developed be all i will see?

-How normal are yellow leaves halfway thorugh flowering?

I'd say that the hermie is due to genetics, the chance of the male actually fertilizing your plant during that window are pretty much zero..

I'd expect to see more seeds, whenever i selectively pollinate some of my fems, it always surprises me how many seeds there are deeper in those buds.. but theres not much you can do so w/e man, don't worry about it.. i also wouldnt use those seeds for next years crop if this is a hermie..

Theres the possibility that your plant was indeed female and that a nearby unknown male actually pollinated it.. small chance but it does happen

And yellow leaves aren't uncommon, especially closer to the end but how is your fertilizing regiment?

:peace:

Thanks for the comment, I'm def going to use your advice tho not to use these again, too much risk for so much labor, guerilla growing. For the fertilizing regiment I have been just adding bat guano and worm castings, do you think this is not enough maybe?​
