I also use Reverse to combat the Herms, and it works great. Picking them off will just cause more to pop up. And yes, if you get seeds they will be female, but they will also not be very stable meaning they will be more likely to herm. I ordered Master Kush from Dutch Passion and on the first grow I ever did they hermed, but I've been using Reverse ever since and haven't had any problems. My first grow was riddled with stress inducing problems as well, so make sure and keep your pH steady and your flowering room light free.
