Feminized seeds are made with a chemical called STS that stops the flow of a hormone that allows the part of the plant to reverse. It has nothing to do with stressing the plant at all.I know that fem plants do go hermie so there's still the problem of male flowers forming and seeding up the crop which most folks don't want happening in their gardens regardless if all the seeds will grow more hermie/female plants. It's an undesirable trait to have in any strain.
And I only grow feminized seeds because of plant count and space and like I said I have only had seeds appear once in a while on a random plant.
I plant a seed or clone per week and harvest one per week for years now.
I am going to say 5% had any seeds at all. And 3% of hat was my inexperience.
The 2% left goes for any seed regular or feminized.
And the grower is more likely at fault or the environment than the seeds with a good breeder.
