My last grow was 7 feminised white widow/big bud and an og kush. everything seemed fine until 2 weeks before harvest when I found a shit load of seeds in my gear -_-, the smoke was super strong and the plants healthy, but everyone seemed to slag it off... anyways, the plants were all 100% female and no male sacks. Due to the c*nty English summer which somehow made my tent get to 36c for 3-4 weeks im guessing that's what hermied my plants. I'm now doing 4 feminised exodus cheese seeds and another 4 feminised ww/bb I had left from the seed company. the 4 ww/bb never germed as the tails weren't as long as they could have been, so now im left with 4 pots empty... CAN I use the seeds I got off the hermied plants ????? Some decent advice would be very appreciated. thank you.

I read somewhere that a "hermied" plant that was from feminized seed that started out female but then was stressed will also grow as a female because it keeps the same genetic traits as the original plant. You just have to ensure that the seeds are viable... good color, not soft and green or white. Happy growing and good luck.

I have heard somewhere that if they encounter the same issues which caused the herm in the last plant then they are more likely to herm. So keep an eye on those temps buddy!

You should be fine to grow them as long as the hermie problem was actually caused by the heat (which is fairly likely...36C is really bad!) and isn't actually hidden away in the genetics of the original plants.
Get your heat sorted (I bought a cool tube for my 600W, and haven't looked back. Brought my temps down from 28 to 24!) and try them out..they should all be fems too if you're lucky.

Yeah to be honest i did think it would be ok as there is no male chromosomes present but i just wanted reassurance. Ive been looking at the cool tubes for the summer time next yr already. the problem was the air intake from outside was like 27-28c and with my 2 lights it made the tent go to 36c. as its coming up for winter now i shant bother as my 2 600w lights keep my tent nice and warm.

This is your best answer. I once had a super strong Herijuana plant go hermie on me because of an overheating issue and I ended up with a few hundred seeds. Now, those seeds are reproducing a highly sought after strain, potent as hell and so far, always female
