Possible seed run with hermies?

[GeorgeCloney]

I plan on preparing some seeds for an outdoor grow this spring.
In doing so, I'm growing some plants in my 2x4 tent indoors at present.

Attached below are some pictures of where I'm at with the grow.
The plants on the left will be the mom's, from pollen taken from the males on right.

The first grow ( right side of the picture) are plants nearing flower ( about 70 days).
The plants on the left are 3 weeks old ( about 25 days).

The first grow (on the right) was almost a failure because the plants suffered from over watering.
I used Promix HP which was not mixed with enough perlite, so the pots retained way too much water.
This caused all kinds of deficiencies that I managed to fix with a lot of tlc.

But they lived and are now into flower ( males pollenating).

So,.
My question is...
Can I use the pollen from the plants to pollenate the females?
How do I know the pollen isn't from hermies because of the stress??
The second picture is a close up of the 2 male (??) plants I plan to use.

Are these true males given the amount of bananas about to open,...or are they hermies?

If the seeds are a success, I'd like to keep the gene pool going to obtain better plants long term.

What is particularly odd, if you notice about the first grow vs the second.
The right side plants seem to be more sativa pheno, and the left side plants are definite Indica ( same seed supplier).

Advice folks?

Thanks,
GC

To obtain better lines (or fine tune them) in the future I would suggest reducing the number of males on hand and not growing females in the same tent unless you thoroughly sanitize it between.

On a grow that is strictly a seed run you can time it to introduce the females and an extra fan or two and do an easy more open complete pollination.

I'm sorry, but I'm not quite getting what you mean to say?

What I am understanding from your statements is,...

Separate the selected females from males during the grow, then introduce the males/females into the same tent.
This allows us to control what male pollenates the sellected females.

However in my case, the question is....are the males actually males or hermies?
How can we tell the difference between TRUE males and a hermie ?

I think what you'r saying makes perfect sense, providing the males are in fact males.
My concern is that if I pollenate my healthy females with hermie pollen , then the future is **cked...down the line.

Understand my concern ?
