That's a hermaphrodite plant you have my friend. It's been pollinated post flower or stressed. Most common causes are heat stress and interrupted dark cycles. Even just a minute of light during the dark cycle can turn a lady into a lady boy.

You'll still have buds. Just seedy buds. The only reason Hermes suck is because there is a loss of energy from the plant to create seeds instead of strictly buds.
 
Only ways to get seeds I know of is stress, which may mean feminized, or it was pollinated somehow. If you are outdoors and someone within roughly a two mile radius has a male and you are downwind just once, you'll have seeds. Only thing you can really do is finish her out and hope for minimal seeds. I grow outdoors and so far every year I've had at least a few seeds so I almost venture to call it normal, and a few seeds here and there aren't really going to destroy your crop. If you had a male in full bloom in your own garden then you would probably have the seediest weed of your life. I treasure a few good seeds that come out of a tasty bud, it means different genetics for me to grow and experience.
 
Yea but I see soo many calyxes all over the plant does it mean in every each one there is an seed. And yes there is big possibility male pollinated. But also maybe interrupted darkness I wouldn't be surprised
 
I actually have a lady that's got a few noticeable seeds in it and it looks like it's going to be one of my highest yielders. I've heard a lot of people say that the buds will be smaller because of the energy put into ripening the seeds, but I really haven't been able to tell. Damn hermes got a few of my girls this time. Should be some interesting crosses though when I decide to grow them.
 
Those calyxes have best fucking smell I have ever felt. Real skunk fresh smell. I am so sad these smelly nugs will be seeded. Will it even punch a kick

Pick one more random calyx, open it up and look for a seed. If it's common enough to find two seeds in two calyx then try a third. If you get three in a row, maybe time to panic, if you dont find #2, dont freak out so bad, she probably isnt that heavily pollinated.
 
Ive found 4 seeds in 7 calyxes. But some calyxes are thin as they will yet produce seed. There is pretty big amount of calyxes. So where 4 5 I. 1 bud
 
Seeded bud can still be VERY potent, seeds may pull a little potency from it, but not much if it's only a few seeds. Grind up your finished buds good and pull the seeds as you find them. I'm smoking my seedy stuff from last year ( 10-20 seeds per pound) and stay in a good frame of mind as a 20+ year smoker.
 
I'd still finish her out, water the soil only from here on out, moisture will trap in buds and rot them out. Even if you do end up with 100 seeds, you'll still have smokable bud, and potentially 100 plants in future times.
 
Okay. I hoped for good quality bud considering size and strain. Now that I can expect 100 of seeds. It gets me worried
