Do I have feminized seeds?

I asked this in the newbie section a few days back but didn't get a real answer.

I had a plant that went hermie and produced seeds late into flower. So seeing as this plant was a hermie, are these seeds it created now feminized?

Seeds produced by self-pollination of a female will be female. The resulting offspring will likely be prone to turn herm under similar conditions to those that caused the parent to turn herm. Unless there was some extreme environmental conditions that caused the plant to herm in the first place, I would probably not use the seeds.

So they are indeed feminized but will be very prone to herm out? If thats the case I don't mind using them. The motherwas very nice smoke even though it was herm.

I just can't stand the veg process, wondering if my beloved babies are gonna turn into a useless male or not.

I have never seen a seed resulting from self-pollination pop as a male, I would be more concerned with what appears to be a true female for a few weeks of veg and 4 weeks of flower popping a few random pollen sacs and ruin a potentially sensi crop with beans in the last few weeks.

this plant is obviously prone to hermies and will produce offspring as such

~stable~ feminized seeds are created by giving a stable female Gibberellic acid to induce self pollination. Since it was treated with a chemical, and not in the DNA, the feminized seeds will be more of a normal stable female this way

Could be, but it sure seems that a lot of these 'feminized' seeds hermi.
