Hermie issue for a newbie help!!

So everything has been going just dandy until one of my 4 girls decided she wanted to become a dude
They're all in day 40 of flower so things are just about on the final stretch for my first grow. I decided to pull the hermie and throw it outside until I decide what to do. I was only able to find about 4-5 spots on the plant with pollen sacs and pulled them immediately. All of them were young looking imo except one which had most likely already released some pollen. What're the chances that these could effect my other ladies?? If they are pollinated how long will it take to show? Can I speed up the flowering process by shortening my 12/12 to 11/13?? Any help is appreciated!

At day 40 not much you can do but let them finish you may get a few or you may get little more I don't think you'll get a ton of seeds the seeds will be female you can use them or send them to me

Unfortunately the one that hermied was the only indica that I had and all of the other 3 strains have about 70-80 flowering periods. You think it's possible to speed up the flowering time? I'll probably chop a little earlier than intended if they really start seeding up a lot

Chopping early isn't going to do anything, you'll still have just as many seeds they'll just be immature. Don't panic a few seeds isn't gonna ruin anything shit happens.

The Seeds will more than likely carry that hermi trait over into the seeds,I have been seen and done a lot in the years i have been growing ,and from personal experience ,The seed you have from this will produce seeds in any bud grown from them,Not worth the risk Dude unless you want seed,But the last thing you want is the plant putting all its effort into producing beans in the final few week's,The final few weeks,Down to the very last week is where a plant gets its weight.It's where a lot of new growers lose out ,they think if they take a plant down at 7/8 week then its ok ,not much more would be gained from a extra 7/14 days,But believe me these weeks are the most important in the final weight of a plants yeild.

But time I've got seeds but it was like just enough for my next grow and them they came out to be all females and far out man if you get few it's cools because I don't do clones

They say you shorten the day time hours like in mother nature but it never worked for me

They will be female/male,But they will have male traits in them ,and you can pretty much say you will have seeds in the next round .In mother Nature there would normally be males,But if not its natures way of continuing to grow by produce both sex in the one plant ,They may not be many seeds ,but the more you re use these seeds the more seeds you will get.Continue with the grow ,has normal.The first time is never that bad with the seeds you will get,But use those seeds and you will get a few more next time and so on,But a few seeds aint that bad.Don't worry about it.If it was a Reg grown plant,that has hermi on you then these will be feminized seeds.

I say finish your grow (still get smoke from it and experience) but find out why it happened. might just be genetic might be something you did (ie light leaks, too much stress, inconsistent light hours, etc.)
I have had hermies make seeds and I grew them(seeds) without issue, not to say that's always the case.
if in love with that indica keep it going, it will surely seeded itself if anything got seeded. maybe leave outside if possible or isolate it.

Defo finish it ,Be mad not too.But just buy new seeds that are stable rather than risk using seeds that may throw you a bad job.

True i would only work with it if it was a plant i loved and really wanted to keep,But this involve More than just chucking the seeds in soil it would mean a lot of crossing to get it back stable.I have just lost a plant that i have had for 7 year ,Broke my heart .The one in my profile picture,The Original Exodus Cheese,Never come across any seed form of it .Just wished i had feminized that before ditching it ,But i did not because of the chance of the problems it was having been carried over in the beans.I do have a cross of it ,But with Livers.What i'm trying to get at dude is this ,a Plant that has all ready been Stressed/Silvered to pollenate its self, to get the original feminized seeds.All ready has the male trait in it some where ,Just waiting for the first error/Stress you make be it heat stress cold ,this will be when it will produce seeds,Some seeds are more stable than others,so can take more stress.That is why i only ever grow Reg plants,they are far more hardy can be kept for years,and if you decide to change over to a other strain ,just do one final grow of it ,but fem a branch,Low down on the plant,That way you have seeds of it.Some reg plants still take time to become a stable plant ,But from the breeding i have done,Its all about.Crossing Hardy plants.Weak or any sign of illness i leave well alone,But every grower at some point during growing will get seeds ,In a job ,with out wanting them.

Just Enjoy the Smoke you have,And carry on Growing.

Also Wipe down every single part of the room after this plant comes out,Last thing you want is Pollen,There is a little chance of this but better safe than sorry,Clean all the room from top to bottom,Then leave fans on to dry it out for a while,Repeat,But i do this after every grow any how.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm gonna keep her outside and do my best to finish her up and hope for the best with my girls I've kept inside. They are all feminized seeds so hopefully the others stay strong and dont throw any bananas at me. I'm almost positive the reason for the hermie is the slight change of lighting schedule and super low light they received during my power outage for hurricane Irma. Had to really pull one outta the bag to even keep the girls alive so I'll be happy if I get even one of them not to hermie. Would really like for the other three to keep it up though cuz I've put a TON of time and effort into these girls. I miss the relaxed lighting schedule I had when growing mushrooms!

Hope all goes well ,i'm sure it will do,I only post replies on post that i have had experience with my self,And when i first started many moons ago,I used to do a few different Yards,with Feminized seeds ,And i noticed that the seeds, that i got from any any feminized seed grown plants,Nearly all ways had seeds in the following plant grown from those seeds,But like i said it is not a massive problem,But you really want your plant, putting 100% of its growing time during flowering ,into producing flowers .Not seeds,So if you ever get seeds i would all ways do a fresh grow, with new seeds,You might want to look at getting the strain you like in Reg form,The Plants grown from reg grown seeds are far more Hardy,If the strain you did was from a good breeder ,and it was stable ,Then the seeds will have been caused by something that you did ,Heat ,Cold Root Bound ext .At some point during growing we all get seeds ,when we don't want them.

Thanks for the help. The girls were definefetly stressed due to a power outage and I was expecting something like this to happen. Unfortunately while watering the 3 remaining girls in my tent today I found another seed in the super lemon haze and some bananas hanging from my other two girls too.... pretty bummed about it but what're ya gonna do. Just hoping they still come out nice. I don't plan on keeping any of the seeds they produce and will start fresh next time. If all of them are hermied now would it be a good idea to bring the OG#18 I isolated outside back in, or would less pollen in the tent be better? I'm just trying to keep the bananas contained as much as possible but it's damn near impossible for me to find them all
