Hey guys. I had a plant going last year indoors (Tahoe og) and i thought it was going to be male. I put it outside just for fun and it went through a big stress (light cycle switch, led light to natural sunlight, outdoor temps etc) i believe it hermed from male to female and started showing pistils. I collected some of the pollen and pollinated a bag bean (runtz x zero gravity). The runtz x zero gravity bag bean actually harvested well and I loved the buds, but one branch did herm and I got some seeds.

Now I am sprouting these seeds and have seen some interesting things. The first one grew phenomenal but was male so I chopped it. Second one sprouted three cotyledons so I thought it was going to be unique, but every node since then has only had 2 leaves not 3.

Am I screwed? Did the genetic code get messed up in the Tahoe og? Also I have heard bag beans are more likely to herm, since that’s most likely how they were created in the first place.

Thanks guys
 
Yes, if it hermed the seeds are more likely to produce hermie plants. However, there is a slight difference between full on hermies (plants with both normal male/female parts), and one that rodalizes in late flower and produces "nanners". You really don't want to perpetuate full on hermies, as the trait will be passed on (it may or may not express itself, but it's there). Last thing you want is to breed plants from the shallow end of the gene pool!
