I read a post by a guy who had a friend who grew with bag seed, said that he'd get 95% females from the seeds.

My first grow was bag seed, I germinated 12 out of about 100 seeds. All 12 were female and grew well for me.

Most growers don't keep males around so usually the pollen that made the bag seed comes from a female genotype that produced staminate flowers without any help from the grower. That's why bag seeds are frequently all female.

It probably will not turn out better than the mother, especially if the mother is a "keeper" but there is a small chance it could. The tendency to produce staminate flowers is probably heritable so unless you're into that you'll have better luck continuing with commercial seeds or your own deliberate chucks.
