No, dont kill em. If they havnt pollenated themselves yet, then pull the balls off now. Then just grow the plant as normal and keep pulling the balls of as you see them.

If the male part has pollenated your plants then you must let the seeds mature. There's a higher chance of them seeds being hermie, but its not set in stone so as long as you treat them with alot of TLC they'll be ok

There are many factors that may cause a plant to turn hermie. Genetics, Temperature, light leaks, plant stress, pH problems and the list goes on.

Dude, listen to El Cheapo.

I have a buddy that was having the same problem about 2-3 years ago until he fixed it.

Realize that any kind of stress can cause hermaphroditism (is that a word?).

Heat, under watering and especially over crowding will cause stress upon your girls.

Dutch Masters Reverse will stop a femail plant from turning hermie.

A plant grown from hermie seeds has a greater chance of being hermie is all.

Temperature is the single largest factor in a plant turning hermie then any other single factor in the plants life. Including being grown from hermie seed.

Hermies are not the end of the world, you can turn them around.
