Hermies bad?
From what I've read, generally hermies are a bad thing. But "Sometimes a female plant contains male flowers, its rare but it happens. The male flowers on a female plant contain the same chromosomes as the female plant itself (X-X). This means that the Female plant can fertilise itself and can grow seeds that can only contain Female Chromosomes and thus grow female plants." So if a hermie is taken away from your main grow as soon as it's showing its sexes, and allowed to go to seed, wouldn't you most likely have a supply of feminized seeds?
