    If the herms are producing pollen sacs, yes. Are you seeing any nanners?

    No, intersex traits are genetic. But if they drop pollen thar pillen can seed other fem plants. Water deactivates pollen.

      I’ve always been told that pollen from a stress hermed plant has a better chance of passing along the herm trait, even when pollinating a true female.

        Intersex traits are passed on to seed progeny as dominant or recessive. The only way to know is to stress test.
