Or are they really seedless... Thx for answering 
Do FEMALE plants grow buds with seeds ? At least 2 or 3 ?

um.... seeds grow in bud yes. just as babies grow in women.
Like everyone else has stated, a TRUE female will not produce seeds unless it is impregnated by another non-female plant (a hermaphrodite, or a male plant). Check your plant(s) for pollen sacks (little balls that are football shaped). If you see little brown banana shaped things coming out of round balls in your bud then pollen has just been induced into your grow OP and seeds will probably ensue.

Yeah, i've read about that ... but i've recently had my hand on some Lowryder Diesel seeeds which is FEMINIZED and Auto-flowering.. now the strain does not support any cloning nor re-vegging... hence i was wondering wether i can get some seeds from these female plant to re-plant after harvest since it is a LONG way to get these seed as i am in a further part of the world where it is illegal to get them seeds.... Thx
Your only option is to get a male cannabis plant into the equation and fertilize the Lowryder Diesel plant, or Hermaphredite it and allow it to reproduce on its own accord. I don't know if it's possible, but try over nutrienting it, then under nutrienting it (be careful not to OOOOVVVVEEEERRRR DO IT) or better yet, moving it from inside the house to outside the house several times a day for the duration of the bloom process during the daylight hours. This might cause undue stresses to the plant and envoke it into producing male pollin sacs. I haven't grown AF plants so I'm not 100% sure if this will work, but if it were a regular strain it would work 100%.

Actually there is a much easier way to induce male genitalia production in a female plant, and it requires virtually no work at all...just by extending the duration of time you keep your female plant flowering by 1-2 weeks, it will produce male pollen sacs as a natural defense to keep it's genetics alive...therefore you have hermaphrodite pollen and can produce feminized seeds...

just wanna tap into this subject a little as my outdoor plant is approx. 3 weeks into flowering and I found two small buds holding about 5 seeds and over the rest of the plant maybe 12 single seeds.It was female and the bigger buds show no signs of seeds so im hoping its just a hermie?if not and I have had pollen come over the fence from somewhere else is it likely to go right through the whole plant in the last 4 weeks flowering?
This guy knows his shit. That being said you can take a female extend her bud cycle she will go through stress herm out and create a seed. Or you can have a female/have a light leak create stress resulting in seed.
That plant is likely a hermie she will pollinate the others. Her seeds will likely produce hermie as well.

Oh god! The horror of reading this same stuff over and over, lol. Colloidal Silver is a great way to creat seeds as well. Also I believe (but could be wrong lol) not all plants will produce female pollen when stressed and if it does I would be reluctant to use it as the trait is there, just my . But there's lots of opinions here, lol. And also I'm a newb when it comes to selfing plants and plan on trying it this season to get some outdoor seed stock.

thanks for the help jaybray,im just hoping at this stage at least 70% of the buds are unaffected when its finished.id be happy with that.tried to post some pics but for some reason it wont let me.Oh and by the way my original post relates to a outdoor plant.....

If you are growing from bagseed where you picked a bunch of seeds from the same bag about half will be male and the other half female. The males will show sex first within' 3-6 weeks depending on the climate. At first appearance the male flowers will have bulbs looking alot "like" seed pouches until they open to spread their pollin. Males will show on 18/6 where females will not. The female will start showing white hair when they are ready to be pollinated and from there the female will start producing seed pouches. The female will produce seed sacks anyway if not pollinated but the seed sacks will be empty. Periodically an unpollinated female will produce a seed which will always be female.

cheers bird McBride I guess I have only one other question then...as its outdoor and its 3-4 weeks in flower (only seen bannanas on it last 4 days) its showing a couple seed pods in buds down low on the plant which I have cut off none at all of the top 50% of the plant show anything but healthy buds.Is it gonna stay like that or be riddled with seeds by the time I harvest in approx. 4 weeks....it looks like a 8 ounce plant.

In todays world seeds are not a bad thing. In the eighties when the war on drugs was at its height I scoured the country and to my surprise could not turn up a single seed. When I did find "like' seven seeds total I turned those seven seeds into over a quarter pound of seeds over a period of three years. People showed up from everywhere just to get seeds. Despite the fact that the weed was seeded it was still top quality smoke. Don't worry. It will all work out and the oil extracted from the males can be just as potent as the oil from the girls. If you want sensi, grow with clones that are taken from a known mother. This is the only way to garantee no seeds.

where is this information from? a female pollinated by a hermie will produce female seeds. they wont hermie unless stressed in some way. all feminized seeds are produced through hermies ( usually forced by use of colloidal silver).true some strains are more prone to hermie than others and feminized seeds are easy to stressed growing male parts. still they wont hermie unless stressed and will remain female in ideal growing conditions.
