Hi there Hempkid, so yeah it makes a cross which is a new strain. however the hermie hermied because it's more vulnerable to hermie as well as because it has a hermie genetic. So what happens when it pollinates is that it will transfer the hermie genes to the new strain. it will be a new strain but it will be likely to hermie. and the sex of the plant is not determined, so it could be male, female, or most likely , a hermie. Does that make sense? Hope this helps ! đ
