Pollinated Cannabis female plants - can weed be smoked?

I have this strange question occur to me now when I'm facing early flowering (9 days to be exact), I have a superb luck with having 3 females with no feminized seeds. However a friend stressed out one little girl and it turned hermaphrodite, he was going to throw it in the recycle bin but I took her/him under my wing in order to produce some feminized seeds. :twisted:
Under these circumstances (2 days since I took the hermaphrodite) I am curious, feminized seeds will be a great advantage for my pocket after the superb luck I got but will the weed I harvest with seeds be able to be smoked? I know that when pollinated cannabis is putting more of it's power into the seeds rather collecting THC, so I assume the THC levels will be lower, but I'm still curious how low they will go? My imagination and of course desire tells about 50 %, but I feel responsible enough to ask for expertise on the topic instead have a lot of feminized seeds and no weed to smoke, basically wasting 3 months. :roll:

For the record, I'm going to accept the challenge and smoke some bad quality weed if I'll be able to get dozens of feminized seeds, but then I can only pollinate one of the plants successfully so I can keep the other two on a high quality.:eyesmoke:

Still the answer to this question bothers me. :confused:

Aghh, that's the part I forgot, I used to buy weed from dealers when I was younger, most of the time there were seeds in the weed but it was still a good experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience dlftmyers! Appreciated. :)

Best way to use a seeded plant in my opinion, make bubble hash out of it.
You do know the seeds produced by a plant that has a tendency to turn hermi will produce seeds with the same tendencies right?.
Its not as bad sense your friend stressed the plant into doing it, but the offspring will have the same trait of throwing male flowers when stressed.
And if you let that plant throw pollen it is going to get everywhere in your house.
Pollen is a bitch to get rid of, It will hang around only to fuck up a plant months later.
My opinion on a plant that throws male flowers 9 days into flower, is that it is junk and should be tossed and I sure as hell wouldn't breed with it.
A few male flowers late into flower is no big deal and a pretty common occurrence but 9 days in is just bad genetics imo even with a stressed plant.

budfever, thank you for your comment, I have no idea how much time the adopted plant was into flowering but it doesn't seem more advanced than my own plants. As far as my knowledge extends, if a female plant stressed to become hermaphrodite pollinates another females, they produce feminized seeds, the self pollinated plant produces seeds that have the trait of becoming hermaphrodites again but I didn't know that these feminized seeds will have the hermaphrodite genetics trait as well. Am I understanding you correct?

Also, you are referring to having a plant with "feminized seeds" meaning the seeds that come off of that plant will only produce females, which is inaccurate. If you truly want feminized seeds you have to spray the plant with that shit that kills the y chromosome. Otherwise those seeds will turn out males and females when they are grown.

The stress and reaction to it are probably more so a natural genetic response, to ensure the cannabis strain can live for the next season; dropping seeds before/during death in late harvest. The level of stress has said to be less tolerable for some strains or genetics then others, so thats probably how growing herm seeds plays into less tolerant strains. Not really experienced enough to see a plant turn on me yet personally. What exactly happened to the stressed plant anyway? Just curious.

@ThorGanjason, you're the very first guy to tell me this. O_O

@iblazetoomuch, I'm not certain over all, but knowing my mate it should of been photoperiod stress and looking at the plant also has some of its leaves burned a bit. Currently the hermaphrodite has 2 male balls and 4 female calyxes.
