Maybe, I'm not quite sure how they make feminized seeds

Spray a female plant with a certain chemical that turns it male and pollinate female plants so technically it's a female pollinating a female. That's what I understood from what I saw

Do seeds from a hermi produce hermi plants???
My first time trying seeds from a hermi

The majority of the time, but there is a small percentage that do not. Some strains have been found this way such as the original Skunk. It just takes a ton of time and dedication because I think Skunkman Sam said he was getting about a 2-3% non hermie rate when he first started the process

Yes they would be female. Well kinda. As you see a hermie plant produced a ladyboy for you. As it will be prone to do.

So yea it will begin as female but it really identifies as a male.

Ok, I hate to jack a thread, but I can't find anything anywhere on this. First off, I am not a noob, but I'm not a vet either. I have found pollen sacks on one of my ladies, One has even opened but it appears that it had no pollen in it, I found no residue below the hermed flower on lower leaves and when I picked the sac off the stem, it wasn't dusty at all, it was just the split shell. I also see no signs of pollenated flowers downwind from her. Has anyone here ever come across this? I found it odd that there was no sign of pollen anywhere. Another odd thing about this plant, other pollen sacs have just fallen off like old leaves, without ever opening. Like it wanted to go herm and conditions went back to optimal so it gave up on trying to knock itself up. I intentionally herm certain ladies regularly and I have never seen anything like this. This, however was not an intentional herm (Kalashnakov Seeds Purple Russian Express, BTW). I had a heat failure and the garden got down below 40° F, but not quite to freezing. I knew to start checking for nuts and have been for about two weeks, I had to cut one that had gone full herm and I caught it really fast, but this other is in it's fifth week of bloom now and it'd be a shame to lose it. One last point to ponder, It's the first day of week 5 and pistils of the other ladies are all normal with just the hardest hit with light tinged red. Also, the nuts are only showing up on the popcorn buds at the bottom of the branches. there are absolutely none on top sites. Feel free to ask about anything that I may have missed.

Just wanted to say, sorry about your luck. I filled some extra space in my tent with a bag seed from a friend, and mine is at about the same point as these photos. I can remove my post, since you got my answer for me. Happy future gardening!
