Right here we go I’ve seen a lot off information on this and I can’t for the life off me come to a conclusion, So basically yeah on my last grow I was growing 2 white widows and 2 royal cheeses from RQS seeds they where both feminised seeds, Anyway about 6 weeks in one off my royal cheeses start growing nanners and it pollinated one off my other plants and I ended up with 100s off seeds Come harvest time, So now I’m growing out 6 off these plants and they are 3 weeks into flower and no sigh off Hermie, My question is are all 100s off seeds female? I hope they are because I’m currently growing out 6, Thanks.

If they self pollinated they should all be female, with a good chance at herming. Stay sharp

In theory, if a female plant makes seeds or pollinates another female. You should get 100% female as there were NO males involved in any way.

Buuuut, Why did the pollen producing plant produce pollen? That's the real question. Because she either produced pollen due to conditions, or because its in her genetics to do so. You wouldn't want to continue to breed with her if its her genetics. She'll keep making seeds. I am sure there is a way to stabilize it and breed that gene out, but thats beyond me. IMO

Yea if they hermed real easy and were full herms then your chance is high that seeds will herm. If it was from a lot of stress then the chance is lower. Good breeders stress test their plants before they make fem seeds to minimize the chance of it getting passed down.

Which breeders that you know of for sure that are testing?

You can also lookup 'kevin jordy'(though he kinda bugs me) and Ben Grieve if you wanna know more about PROPER breeding. These guys have it dialed in.
