If a stressed female plant self pollinates and creates a few precious seeds (essentially a small handful of feminized seeds) every time I have seen plants grown from these...they were beautiful female plants. I’m NOT talking about even a mild case of hermaphroditism. It’s usually at the very very end of its life the plant throws a few last ditch efforts and manages to create sometimes just 4-6 seeds on a good sized plant. Maybe slight stress plays a role also but also very ripe flowers are a factor as well.
I’ve seen cannabis grown from this “bag seed” a few times. Unlike mystery “bag seed” this seed came from it was a legal medical flower product so the exact strain and in fact the specific breeder genetics that were grown was disclosed on the legal product itself. Exotic Genetix in this case...
Is seed like this a crapshoot as to what traits you end up with? Is it a unique phenotype or is it an exact replica of the female it came from that self pollinated? If it’s different to what degree?
I grown a couple of this kind of seeds just too see what happens and I feel its not worth it unless you aint got no other more stable seeds. Its like the hermi gene gets stronger for every generation. They come to about week 6-7 and start dropping pollination sacks here and there and if your unlucky they can pollinate the whole cropAt the very least it should be very similar to its parent...right?

That has been my experience. Also if the plant was not herm before, then these "stress caused" seeds should not be either. I have given plants a heavy defoliation stressing them into producing pollen and seed, had no problems with the seed. If it wasn't in the genes to begin with, it should not be in the selfed seeds either, because it was stress induced. That being said, seed may or may not be exact replica, most will be close or exact. Some, depending on what you are looking for in traits of the original, will be better some worse.At the very least it should be very similar to its parent...right?

I always plant these seeds. They are free feminized elite seeds.
But no they tend to be a bit different plants than their mom. And i have never had one reverse. Guess i am more proactive the second time. Lol.
PRECISELY!
Yea I would expect a slightly different expression of traits if I were guessing. It’s not a clone. Surely it’s darn close. I really like this Cookies terpenes profile and high resin content so that’s why I’m hoping for it being close. I’ll know soon!
The results rely on the original breeding of the mom. With todays chucked hybrids you could end up with all kinds of phenos. Just none of the genes from the father are present in the new seeds.
But it will produce another hermaphroditeNo it’s not random as breeding. It’s a recombination of the same genetics not a splicing of 2 into one, so there is a lack of chromosome it takes to create the opposite sex. It would be very strange for a hermaphroditism female produce a male. I’ve never heard of such. Not saying it’s not possible
Think about it this way lets say the mom is Aa in traits, the pollen from the Mom could be Aa, aa, AA for dominate and recessive traits with in the Mom's genotype as expressed through phenotype. The genes are there for all, its just missing the male chromozone to produce a male in off spring since it never had it. All the other variations of the genotype are there and will pass on through the pollen. Most will be like the Mom as she is most likely to pass on dom/recess genes, I look for the outliers of that recombination of genes that are a really nice expressions of what I liked in the Mother or that special gem found in the recombination that's completely different.Oh wow. I had no idea it could be that different. What gave me the impression it might could be almost an exact copy was the fact that the plant self pollinated as there was no father.
Still just a totally random draw of every phenotype in the mother’s dna? I know nothing of this subject so I’m totally out of my depth. I barely know what a phenotype really is other than vague idea that it’s one of many outcomes from a plant’s genetics.
Hermaphrodite seeds for sure produce hermaphroditism. I’ve got one right now and I just culled a boss hogxbubba kush that couldn’t decide what it wanted to be because of its “femanized” heritage. Your lucky if you don’t get one. That’s my issue
