Ya try again. I'm curious to hear what they turn out to be.

Im usimg a different strain / different breeder. Feminized.
For the first 3 or 4 weeks i had my now male plant under LED, then under sun as wellm. Back and forth, back and forth. I wonder if that contributed to the hermie state

Oh that makes some sense. That can totally cause hermies if you disturbed the light cycle over and over.

Stupid question. Can i collect the seeds and then try this strain again from tue seeds i get off this plant?

Unless it's a hermie, you won't get seeds. only pollen! & if you're starting a new batch you DO NOT WANT pollen kicking around. And any seeds you would get off a hermie are about a 75% chance of also being hermie. Just scrap it and start over.

@budsmoker247 yes, i scrapped it this past Friday. Going to burn it in my fire pit to ensure no pollen in my grow area.

It's caused by genes from a hermie, so this is typically caused by hermies resulting in female seeds because it wasn't male pollen. That said, you can get hermies from regular non femmed beans, it's just not a mandatory thing like with hermie pollen and thus not as common.
As I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but seeds from a hermi are likely to produce hermis right?
What is the percentage of hermi seed chances vs. fem seeds? Approximately. (Those could also be possible, right?)
What if the plant turns hermie from stress? And it was initially a female plant, would the seeds then be viable to use

Thats a genetic tendency but bananas (female staminate flowers) aren't a true hermie. True hermies produce balls. The nanner trait is genetic though, meaning some strains won't do it no matter how much stress and others will do it with no stress and everywhere inbetween.

Right, it's like practically guaranteed if the pollen is from a hermie.
Huh? We need to realize that femmed beans are made using female pollen, so plants were forced to produce that somehow (STS, colloidal silver). Generally I think that you are ok with femmed beans unless they were made from female pollen that didn't need chemical forcing lol. Back in the day there were folks making femmed beans using light stressed pollen, those had a high tendency to be hermie because the female "father" was stressed and produced pollen.
