Self pollinated fem seeds?

So on my last run of fems I had a super dank burnt rubber, dark purple, frosty as hell killer plant that self pollinated itself. I've got a few seeds. What can I expect from these self pollinated seeds? Is it worth me growing these out? Never was inclined to do this before but that plant was fire.

Here she is/was :

Plants can herm from stress and environmental factors, as well as just having poor genes. Technically, these seeds should also be fem, but the biggest concern would be “what stressor caused the original plant to herm in the first place”. If it’s just genetically predisposed to herm easily, then those traits are not ideal to carry forward. If the plant hermed and self-pollinated at a very small scale, and you think you can prevent it from happening again, they’d I’d be much more likely to plant those seeds.

My own anecdotal experience from growing bag seed for several years before finally getting over the fear of buying quality seeds : growing out herms can lead to increasingly hermie-prone plants. Growing out the next generation of plants led me to even more bananas. The 3rd generation became a game of: “come mr tally man, tally me banana” and epic levels of frustration, picking bananas daily for weeks and still getting massively seeded bud. I was trying to pheno hunt and carry on the best plants through a few generations, started over a few times, and still failed. You may get different results. Hell, the entire chem line came from a handful of seeds from a plant that had selfed. Genetics can be a gamble.

In this case it was pretty minimal. So far I think I have 3 seeds and might get two or three more in the entire plant is what I'm guessing.
