Taken from text:
5% of the plants from feminized seed to be hermaphrodites or males.

Feminized seeds are produced by inducing normal female, not a hermaphrodite, to grow male flowers with viable pollen. The pollen contains only female, or X, chromosomes because they plant has no Y, or male, chromosomes. The progeny will inherit an X from the male flower's pollen and an X from the egg donor female flower. The resulting seeds can only inherit two X chromosomes, which means that almost all the resulting seeds will be girls! Congratulations!

Even when using feminized seeds, there is still a small chance that you will have a few plants that are hermaphrodites (truly both male and female) or males. You should monitor all your plants through the entire growth stage to check for these oddities. Maintaining stable growing conditions is the best way to prevent male or hermaphroditic plants. Environmental stresses such as light, disruption, or overpruning will encourage female plants to produce pollen. If you do find a male or a hermaphrodite, remove it.

first you say you should expect a 5% male ratio. which is complete BS. when a female forced to hermie, has shed pollen, and has pollenated a female, as you said the XX gene is in the pollen, and XX gene on your impregnated female. this locks in the XX gene. the 5% is hermie chance. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO GET A TRUE MALE OFF FEMINIZED SEEDS!

all the seeds have the XX genetics locked in with a chance of going XXY like the "father" so the speak, the female you forced to hermie. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE IN HELL THERE IS ANY....AND I MEAN NO CHANCE AT ALL THAT THERE IS XY genes in the seeds.

Are you using seeds from a seed distributor or from a dispensary?
