Can Anybody shed some light on swollen calyx Feminized seeds???

[green_machine_two9er]

If seen these every so often over the years. always just thought i had hermies or stress. Basically thought it was a bad thing to have seeds in my buds. which it is. But what about these Beautiful beans popping right out of swollen calyx itself? never thought about it much until about six months ago. didn't make any sense, zero hermies, zero pollen, near perfect living amended soil environment and genetics. I have a very nice water only soil that is almost to good to be true.
And i have a zero stress policy with my grows as well. take one clone of each plant at top or just let em ride without and cuts/tops/lollipops ec.

Basically a near zero stress grow without any hiccups along the way. Its also worth mentioning I flower in most cases 2-3 weeks over breeder recommendations (just don't start my flowering clock until i see trichomes). so still why would i be getting these seeds. and average of 1-12 seeds/plant. each strain stays close to each other with this to. I have kripple shock always gives me 9-12 seeds. while some incredible bulk will maybe give me one, and this doesn't seem to be affected by plant size at all.

Well i started growing them this past summer. And giving bunches away to patients and growers i know. I wish i could document this more than just my word but out of over 50 seeds grown out of the calyx seeds, I have had ZERO males. And very little variance in phenotype. so why does this work? Its almost like a genetic fail safe built in to guarantee those genetics are passed on.
I would love to here thoughts or literature on this subject. havent found much but wisetales in my limited research. thanks

Banana's hiddin in the bud,, they can grow there undetected sometimes,, although many times banana pollen won't take,, not sure how much truth there is to this, its just something I had read,, you might think your genetics are good but often there's hermi traits in them,, because of the breeder and other variables

Oops misunderstood your post

Yeah i cant accept that answer. I can with near certainty say there are no banners or Hermies. Even hidden well.

Are you asking y u keep gettin seeds?

no. I like the seeds. i am asking if anyone knows of why this happens to healthy plants. And the seed specifically coming out of the calyx is key i believe. Most calyxs just have undeveloped ovums but not these random ones with these seeds.

There is pollen somewhere, so if itisn't from your plants, it is from a nearby plant somewhere else. Cannabis seeds cannot be made without pollen.

Also, all seeds come from calyces.

Have you been in someone else's grow? You or someone else could of brought the pollen in on clothing

I guess thats a possibility. But usually am changing cloths after visiting other grows. More for possible hitchhikers. But who knows. The bigger mystery for me is how are all the seeds producing female's.

Female dominant hermi's produce female seed,,

Ii have also had a run a few year back where I ended up with bunch of pips have all been , mystery for me as to what the pollen was from
