I grew 4 feminized seeds and had a beautiful harvest. Somehow from the 19 ounces i pulled, ive found around 30 seeds. Obviously i had a light leak or some heat stress or something.

But those 30 seeds... how likely is it that they will grow to be hermies? Or will they be the usual 50/50 male/female?

Thanks in advance

My experience is they will be females with a tendency to herm.
Basically back crossed.

Also there is a reproduction method the plant can use which actually produces seeds directly in the calyx. Again females. I forgot the term for this but it happens. No herms, no males yet seeds? Something like 1-13 seeds per plant.

Feminized seeds are created by deliberately stressing out female plants to hermie and fertilize itself, these seeds lack male chromosomes afterwards and the more refined the breezed gets, the more likely those feminized seeds are in fact feminized. Here’s the thing, a lot of feminized seeds aren’t exactly the most stable genetics..meaning you could have your grow and environment completely dialed in with no issues and you could still end up with a herm or some seeds in the buds without it herming. Those seeds should be nearly the same as what you bought from your source

I’m only on my first grow but I had five seeds that came from the same situation, every one was female. I think it’s a safe bet they’ll likely be female.
