They’d most likely be a mix. I generally germinate 30-50% more seeds than what I want, incase I get a high number of males to cull.
I.E: if I want 4 females, I’ll germinate 6-8 seeds because I know some will be male. You can always try for just the number you want, and hope they’re all female, but there is the chance of having a male or more and having less plants than planned.

If you have good eyes and a magnifying glass or jewellers loupe, you can try and determine sex before germinating by the chart I’ll post below (I don’t use it as my eyes aren’t so good, I just buy Fem seeds now) hope this helps some

I'm not trying to be negative, but this seems suspect.

Funny shit, I had to give good plants away because I did that. I wanted one female, so I popped 4 beans...and got four girls.

It's impossible to tell the sex of a regular seed from physical inspection.

Definitely calling bullshit on this one. “Morphodytes”, lol. It tries to act scientific, then uses the slang for hermaphrodite.

It literally seems like some asshole trying to get poor suckers to throw away their seeds.

I'm not going to say that this is 100% accurate. But I just started a staggered harvest and my first run I had them start under a 3000k QB and ran warm with high humidity and had mostly males. Second run I followed what is stated in the link and had much better results. I hope this helps, and is still relevant to you.

Treat them as Reg seeds. Expect male & female. Less disappointment later in life.
People can say what they want about this. It's going to be controversial for the most part. No one can say right or wrong on this matter, unless they have done a study themselves, and since no one has... I have some reg seeds. The next run I start I am going to check them out, and put what I think are males based off of this on one side, and "suspected" females on the other. I will label them, and we will see how that goes.

Now this one I can believe , environment does play a role!I'm not going to say that this is 100% accurate.

Ok so from what I know , yes labs have tested this and they can't take the DNA of a seed and see if it's make or female but they can after the seed is popped and there is foilage you can send the lab sample of just rubbing the leaf in-between a paper they give u u can send it back and can tell u everything turpine profile it's genetics and its sex

Genetics and environment may determine if a plant herms, but there's no way dialing everything in perfect to the strains requirements would prevent males from growing. Unless I missed something (Very possible)I'm not going to say that this is 100% accurate.

No your are correct there is no way to be certain it's only a way to up your percentage chance

That's something I can grasp onto before reading on. It just makes more sense. Morse sense than analyzing the seed with a scope.
Maybe I'm just fuckin toasted
I'm gong to reread lol
