Autoflowers seeding?

Considering you have clearly taken photos of seeds peeking out of calyx, and even zoomed in on them, it's safe to say you already know the answer. Those are indeed seeds. Hopefully you come out of it okay. My last few photos had a few seeds, and still smoked really well. Nothing can be done now, but they'll still slap by the looks of it.

There's a lot of debate on this issue, but from what I've heard auto/fem plants that have seeded because of stress have been said to create a high percentage of fem seeds, whereas a plant pollinated from a males pollen will usually be 50/50 or 60/40. They will continue to have auto flowering as the genetics haven't changed.
There is a difference between female stress sacs, and herm pods when it comes to pollination outcome from what I've heard.
I had a red skunk auto germ due to cold once, and the seeds were all autofem.
This is all just based of gathering of opinions though, and some science on this issue would be a gem.

Common because many first time growers are led to believe autos are easier to grow and stress the plants out.

I see that a lot. People changing the lighting schedule drastically day by day because "autos don't care about light cycle", but they forget the plant still has a metabolism and strives for homeostasis. Going from 500 umol under a cheap light one day, to bright sun at 1700 the next, and then forget to turn the lights back on the next day, and then repeat.
Always end up with seeds. From my experience they are a lot more sensitive to nutes, and don't like having their environment changed too often, or drastically. That being said I don't think they are as fragile when it comes to topping or training as people think. Then again, I have grown very little variety of strain.

I had a Jack Herer auto-fem that produce about 30 seeds.....I have grown 5 from those hermie seeds and none of them produced any seeds....just saying

Why didn't you fill up the pots with soil? Just doesn't make sense to restrict your plant.

Plant those few seeds.
Thankyou every one for replying, I never knew autos can seed no matter what you do to them. Seems like a win for me cause I bought 3 +1 seeds for £20
I did leave an inch or two when I filled the pot but it went down , i didn't have perlite so I thought I won't compact the compost and press down so there will be air, but eventually when watered it went down , one mistake I learned from growing I bought perlite now , I think you learn as you go along with cannabisia. To be honest not so bad from killing seedlings to actually smoking some.
Why can't I attach more pictures ( cannot open file chooser) , I went to holidays in South Africa and smoked rasta man cannabis with loads of seeds, very nice high when looking at nature, on trails, fishing, swimming, i took the seeds and plant it in my cupboard, I don't know the strain but have pictures if someone could identify the strain. Do seeding buds make the buds go mellower ? Or it's just in my mind and dose no change the potency of the buds.
