I have had 3 runs in a row. Now that hermed.. I am confused..".. a plant can only herm if in flower that’s means pollen can live over 4 months in my tent. One month no activty then 2 months veg. And pollen is still in the tent....to make the second plant herm. And then for the 3rd run. It must be bunk seeds i have got nice plants before so no light leak.
How long does pollen live.

Herm is when a plant produces male parts (balls) and female parts and pollinates itself and possibly others nearby. The male sacs on a (herm) will likely will carry the “herm” characteristics to itself and any other plant it pollinates.
Herm can happen from stress, environment, light leaks, bad genetics (herm plants produce herm seeds) (you buy/grow herm seeds unknowingly). It pays off to dive into breeders local and aboard. Find good genetics.
Nanners look like tiny bananas that sometimes protrude through a bud or sometimes stay inside a bud. and are female only pollen and not herm. Since nanners lack the males Y chromosome nanners produce fem seeds and don’t pass on herm traits.
Nanners is a way fem plants try to preserve its genetics. Nanners on one plant can pollinate a nearby female as well. Those seeds would be fem also.
Clones are less likely to nanner and are more stable.

I agree with above. Left over pollen in a tent, even if viable, will cause seeds and not herm's. You need to look for your issue elsewhere such as their environment or their genetics.

Best way to ensure good seeds is to breed them yourself. Great thing is you get to pick what traits to mix up and see which ones come out in the wash. It’s a whole lot of fun too!
as far as pollen goes, just mix some iso in a spray bottle, and go to town. Take apart and wipe fans down. If you use ducting, just swap it out if you can afford it.
Good luck to you, if you in NorCal pm me and I’ll hook you up with good seeds

If you have a ton of seeded plants when you don’t want them to be, or in a case like mine when you are breeding and one of the plants from a new strain you were using as females goes herm and seeds everything with herm pollen, you can just make a ton of hash,

That's not what your plants are herming. It's either shitty genetics, shitty environment, or a combination of the 2.

How do you make your hash?
You said. It can be my environment. I was telling you i have the ac infinity intake. I put it on auto. And it adjust the environment .

Yea, that's not giving us enough details.
Temp 60 to 78 degrees
Humidity 45 68
68 only about 2 hours due to lights off

Lots of different ways. The hash in the pic is from a Dabpress tumbler and dry ice. I got the dabpress tumbler because at the time it was the only one I could find with a metal container, all others were plastic.
