Do seeds always mean Hermie's?

My last grow each of my plants produced a few seeds, but they went through some stress (light leak and timer issues). My current plants have not gone through any stress, except some higher temps (90f) which did not burn the plants or cause them to wilt or anything. However I just found a single seed on top of my bubba kush (at 6.5 weeks). I did not see any bananas. Does this mean that my whole room is compromised? Should I chop her down? Does a single seed mean that she is a full-blown hermie and will pollinate the rest of my plants? If a plant only makes 1-2 seeds is it still considered a hermie?
I only work with femenized plants, so a male causing it is out of the question.

well you can't get seeds with out pollen and pollen dosnt come from a full blown female

light leaks will cause the herm

MJ plants have a natural fight to survive instinct. Being that you have so few seeds I doubt it was pollination. MJ can and will produce a couple seeds sometimes without pollination so it can ensure it's species survival.

It's the plants emergency survive mechanism. When in a batch of cannabis plant is no germination the plant can produce it's own seeds. Those seeds WILL be feminine though.

i read some where awhile back that some times a female plant will produce a seed and that seed is said to be truely female... don't know but i did read that some where on the net....

I found these all over the interweb, I do not know if there is any truth, My second grow had the same thing happen

Male flowers or nanas can hide amongst bud.

Immaculate conception doesn't happen without the presence of male pollen.

Everyone still believe that Mary was a virgin??? Yeah right. Lol.

There are animals that can reproduce without males. It's called parthenogenesis. I'm not claiming something similar does happen here, but I wouldn't dismiss it on "no immaculate conception" grounds.

I just had a grow where one plant got some seeds in it, while the other growing just next to it with a fan blowing full speed got none. It could ve that there was a banana hidden somewhere, but I find it a strange luck that no polen got to the other plant. I have some nice clones from that plant, so I'd be very interested to know what exactly happened there and if it's safe to introduce those clones to the flower room, or if they present too great hermie risk.

i have seen some claims of female self seeding without male flowers
there is a strange name for it that i can't remember, probably some form of parthenogenesis
not saying i believe it, but have seen some posts from credible sounding growers
swear there were no male flowers
but how could you prove it one way or the other? some kind of genetic test maybe?

I think I found the problem. A button on my timer accidentally got pushed, so the lights have been coming on for a 1/2 hour in the middle of each dark period. What a piss-off. Couldnt have been happening for more than the past couple days though, is that long enough to make a seed? Ah well, I cut off that one branch, I wanted some to smoke anyways. Hopefully the rest of the plants are fine, thanks for the input all
