Good morning. Last year was the first time I had ever tried growing marijuana plants. It was quite successful, except without realizing it I had one male plant. Before I was able to destroy it, it had pollinated my other plants, which didn’t cause a big problem with the production, however, I ended up with seeds on my feminized plants. Someone told me that these seeds are really good ones to replant now because they will be a better stronger plant. Is this true, I don’t want to take a chance on growing them, and having them destroy my other plants thank you for your input.
Seeds from feminized plant

Can the male plants harm the female production

It reduces yield as the plant focuses its energy on producing seeds
Try and separate the males out earlier this time. Now you know what to look for, so it gets easier. Like the above poster said, you'll get slightly smaller yields if you get fully seeded, but it still smokes!

I had that happen one time. Then I used the seeds the next grow and every plant was a worthless hermaphrodite, wasting months of effort, time and money.

Do you mean like feminized seed to be begun with or just a female plant from regular seed stock??
Males can herm i do find that rarer than in females and in my experience Male hermies are most common in tropical stuff vs todays worked lines not saying u cant still get it just its less frequent i find

Yes but then what happened to OP isnt what happened to you if that infact is what happened to you.He stated a male pollinated his fems,not a hermie.

Assuming he's growing with feminized seeds, where did he just happen upon a male one?

No
OP stated "I ended up with seeds on my feminized plants".

Or typo or mistermed or ….still no mention of hermie anywhere in his post. So your saying you bred a male to a feminized plant like him and all the offspring were hermi?
