One time during a drought I randomly found a 10 foot hermi.......bright green with red hairs, just a beautiful outdoor color......smoked like shit. Would NEVER smoke hermi again...would just go without. Was a total waste of time trying to get high off it.
IMO Grind it ALL up, and make edibles. Follow a recipe based off using trimmings for the best ratio.
Alot of strains from femmed seeds will hermie, It has happened to me before a few times.
Yes, you can absolutely smoke hermed plants the same as you would a a reg female.
If you are still flowering just pick as many of the balls off as you can and continue to flower.
Regardless of what redeyes says I have had hermed plants that would still knock your socks off with a great taste and high.
Second, If you only have 1-2 herms along with other full females then yes get rid of the herms, but if you just have all herms then finish and smoke them it can be great smoke. Just pick the seeds out like when you had to smoke regs....good luck
BTW if you are getting herms you probably have a light leak somewhere..
