no, the seed companies spray the seed with a hormone to " feminize " it and thats why " feminized " seeds have a good chance to hermie.
i'm growing out such a plant right now, maybe
thing is, how are you sure the resulting seed is from the male pollen, or self pollinated by the hermie pollen
in my case, i kept the hermie blooms under control, pollinated with the male pollen
but eventually that hermie overwhelmed me with roosters, so some seeds are probably S1's, the others the cross i wanted

I have a question regarding hemaphrodite plants.
There were 7 plants going in 6 3Gallon pots (I am not going for large plants). One of the pots had two plants growing in it. At first all plants were female and then after the flowering cycle was started- about three weeks in- one of the plants in the shared pot turned hermie on me. Im assuming it was stressed out by sharing a pot with another plant, even though it was over 2' tall and looking healthy, although perhaps a bit stretched. Anyways, I believe it pollinated the plant it was sharing a pot with and I was wondering if those seeds will do better in my climate, Im from the pacific Northwest. I read from a few sources that second generations tend to grow better outdoors than their parents and was wondering if the same was true with hermie pollinated seeds.

a feminized seed - unless im wrong - is produced from hermi pollen and a 'regular' female. what if its reversed, regular pollen with hermi flowers... is it the partial hermi trait that feminizies the seed?
-assuming you have pollinated a particular flower and its not self pollinated -
thanks for all the input!!
from my modest readings on mj genetics, it's difficult to say what you'll get from a hermie femme and normal malea feminized seed - unless im wrong - is produced from hermi pollen and a 'regular' female. what if its reversed, regular pollen with hermi flowers... is it the partial hermi trait that feminizies the seed? -assuming you have pollinated a particular flower and its not self pollinated - thanks for all the input!!
the hermie trait might predominate, it might not
