You're right, a hermi makes all girls- the male you got from the plant you pollinated with hermi pollen probably came from excess pollen left over from a male or something.

Your friend should not be risking her job, or the research the lab is working on. I run a research lab at a University and feel very strongly about this. REsearch ethics are not something to be taken lightly. Fucking with the materials can jeopardize the project. That's NOT cool.

I'm not yelling at you... She, however, is not only a thief, but full of shit to boot. Pattern and color and size of a seed are strain dependent and have nothing to do with gender. That is a myth. Furthermore, gender is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome- that's all! The reason hermi pollen from a female makes all female offspring is that the MALE contributes the Y, and any F-F crosses do not have it.

Paper clip technique is good.
Don't bother pulling seeds- I let my seed crops ripen on the plant and at harvest time, hang them over a lasagne pan to catch seeds as they fall out, and the ones that don;'t fall out, I knock out during the second trim- the manicure, when I remove anything sticking out and making the buds look less pretty.
