Feminized white widow seed a hermaphrodite

I planted a feminized white widow seed a while back, and its a hermaphrodite. I realize that feminized seeds are produced using a self pollinating hermaphrodite from clone, so i was wondering if it would be beneficial to let the plant make seeds? Im not exactly sure but wouldnt the seeds be feminized?

I would run with producing seeds, you must have stressed it one way or another.

From what ive read regarding feminized white widow, anywhere from 1%-20% are hermaphrodite. Its still better than 50% chance of getting a male. Has anyone seeded a feminized hermaphrodite?

I am growing some test plants that are a cross of indica and pollen from hermaphroditic strawberry cough. The Cough grown was from feminized seeds, and basically had 2 or 3 male flowers on each bud (which were easily picked off). I should have planted more seeds, but I have a limited amount.. Anyway, from the 4 seeds grown, 3 were female, and one was a hermaphrodite (which I destroyed, but should have collected pollen from). So I guess from my limited experience, the majority are female, but the plants that show male traits also show female traits. I also have some seeds from the feminized/hermaphrodite Cough that I fertilize3d with a pure male Cough, but I haven't grown them yet (not enough room)

Truth is, that I was surprised that ANY of the seeds were viable, but I guess if there is a male flower, there is viable pollen. Personally, I hate hermaphrodites, and my experiment is aimed at seeing if I can revert a hermaphodite back to a pure female via cloning. Any thoughts?
