I've noticed this is a pretty common first post but it's my first grow and I'd decided to go with a more risky setup for a grow. I read up on some solo cup challenges so I decided to have a go at one for my first attempt at growing my own bud. Other than growing at quite a slow pace to start(Honestly I've lost track of what week I'm in now. It's probably pushing 2 to 2 1/2 months at this point.), it's been a pretty smooth experience so far. Saw white pistils pretty early and thought I was set. Switched to a 12/12 cycle not long ago and the plant has responded by growing this:
I'm afraid I already know the answer but I wanted to get a more educated grower's opinion before I ruin nearly 2 months of growth. If it is indeed a hermie, is it in any way salvageable/still worth growing other than seeds? Is the only difference between fem bud and herm bud potency? I'd imagine herm bud would be just as smokable just with slightly less "oomph". Is that not correct?
