I need an experienced breeders analysis. Seeds in a fem autoflower

I'm getting the hang of growing autos indoors and it's fun. I had a lot of weird mutations in some of my plants. Duckfoot, a vine like plant, a bud on a leaf, you name it, I had it. Two of the Banana Kush plants were purple and had peculiar formations where I removed the shoots during pruning. I found only a few white half formed seeds in one plant. The other one was fine. I had a Bruce Banner in the same tent. I let that plant go 88 days and hung it. While trimming the Banner I found 7 fully developed seeds. Olive green to dark brown. So what are these seeds? All feminized seeds were planted with no male plants anywhere. I understand that stress can cause hermies and I gave them plenty of stress. I'm doing a lot better with my newer grow, lessons learned.
If I plant these do I have an F1 Banana Banner Fo Fanner. I do want to get into breeding so maybe I got an accidental start down another rabbit hole. I think It would be rewarding to have something you can call your own creation. I know it takes years of work and trial and error. Thanks to all you true breeders who took the hard part out of finding a good cultivar.GOPR0232.JPGGOPR0236.JPG

How would anyone know what happened in your harvested tent though?

It would take a time machine to figure out the many errors of my second grow attempt.
I know my biggest mistake and most beginners make it. Genetics, genetics, genetics.
I mean, (I) (L)ove (G)etting (M)oney too, but some breeders don't care and are taking advantage of marketing skills instead of producing a good product. I love Banana Kush. A google search brought me right to the bandits. I know now to do my research. I don't think I care anymore if I'm really growing a Kush as long as it has the characteristics I remember. I never taste cookies or pie in some of these dispensaries knock offs. I would rather have a cultivar with no dumb name, a nice hash/skunk taste and autos that grow about the same height and size. An Indoor plant in my case can only be 3.5 feet tall in an 80 inch high tent. I love the lemon/pine flavors too but not like lemon pledge. It should have a smell like you just walked into a Phish concert. I'll find it or make my own. I'll plant those seeds outside next season and see what happens.

All of that sounds spot on. I'm intrigued now so let me know what come from those seven seeds you got this run.

I love Banana Kush myself. Let me suggest these.

sensiseeds.com

Banana Kush Feminized Seeds by White Label – Sensi Seeds

Banana Kush Feminized by White Label is 70% indica, 30% sativa. It produces good yields, and a fruity hash scent. The high is relaxing and chatty.

Thanks. The Banana I grew hit all the marks but only 3 out of ten feminized auto seeds "guaranteed to germinate" turn out to be decent plants. Those three were purple freaks. I don't think they do all the work they should before they send beans out. I tried out each culivar a few runs just in case it's me. All the Beans from Barneys Farm, Errors, Gnome Automatics, Ethos and Fast Buds germinated fine and are growing like they should. My soil I've been using for houseplants for a hundred years. I just added some this and that just because. (not telling, sorry).
I was wondering about the growths in the picture. Are they pollen sacks? Did they pollinate the other plants?
Can a hermie pollinate the rest of the grow?
I chose BK because I love it. The Banner produced Huge buds on short stocky plants. (The 2 that grew normally). That would make a nice combination.
Here's a good Banner. A few weeks before I harvested. 20230127_163814.jpg
