Question about feminized seeds

When you force a mother plant to produce pollen and pollinate itself you get female seeds. Now alot of people have been saying that these seeds will be identical to the mom, I don't think so. any hederozygous traits will then have a 25% of being homozygous recessive. I am wondering if my thinking is correct.

Genetic theory yes you are correct. That is why when people order feminised seeds they complain of hermaphroditism. Also, which works to the advantage of the grower, if you control temperature,humidity, pH, and lighting you can increase your chances of bringing out females.

Except you always have that hermi trait, so you end up getting hermis randomly and your plants are also more prone to hermi from stressing.
