I think it depends on the hermie.I would prefer to use hermie that was reverted on purpose by colloidal silver or somehow.If it hermied itself (especially in the early stages of growth and flowering)than I would avoid it for breeding(but I am just a pollen chucker from time to time,not some kind of profesionalist so I use regulars,these are just my thoughts on the subject).And with the hermie you pollinate another female.You could also pollinate the same plant.And i guess the seeds will be mostly female.....
The only way is by pulling any flower sacks that you might find. If it didn't herm too badly, you might till get your sensi! :)Thanks for the feedback everybody! I’ll check to see if there are any light leaks to prevent my other plants from herming. But is there a way to prevent the hermie plant from releasing its pollen? I’m trying to achieve sensimilla but since my plant hermied that complicated things.
Oof that’s the thing tho. There’s a lot of sacks. I think it’s still a bit early and hopefully some of them might turn out to be pistils. All the flowers at the top side of the plant too and I’m a bit worried that taking them off might stress the plant too much.The only way is by pulling any flower sacks that you might find.

Stressing the plant isn't good, but since it already hermed, what is the worst that could happen now? You could always try to isolate it if you have the room or facilities. Are you sure that it is as heavily hermed as you think it is? I didn't think I saw too many sacks on your previous post pictures, but my eyes aren't s good as they used to be.Oof that’s the thing tho. There’s a lot of sacks.

I only took pics of the female flowers but those were all the pistols I’ve seen. The rest of the nodes and side branches have small clusters of sacks in groups of 2-4. Maybe some of them will turn out to be small under developed pistils hopefully. I remember thinking this plant was a male because it had small sacks for preflowers but it turned out to be a hermie which is slightly better in my opinion. I guess for now time will tell how bad or good situation is.Stressing the plant isn't good, but since it already hermed, what is the worst that could happen now?

I took some seeds from a hermie plant, and every seed hermed, I assumed the hermie mother passed on this trait, the seeds were feminised that grew the original plant, the seeds I took from it all hermed, I binned the rest.
If every seed hermied you had a stress causing it. The odds that every seed would reverse from genetics are astronomical.
It was an Aurora Indica, I grew it with two other plants, the other plants were fine, I was surprised that it was the Aurora that hermed, as I've found it's normally a really stable strain.
I never grew one but i would think that strain was well bred too. Its an old one. Im just saying if every s-1 seed from her hermied there has to be a reason. And genetic reversal on every seed is highly unlikely.
I hermed my first blue lemon thai but the rest of the seeds in the pack grew fine amd the cuttings i took never reversed either.
Grower error on my part. They dont like too much nutrients and i was too new to see i was pushing her. Just an example.
