A feminized seed comes from a female plant that has been (usually)chemically forced to produce pollen (IE colloidal silver or some such ). This pollen then fertilizes the female buds of the plant causing it to produce seeds. Since these seeds were produced without true male genetic material the resulting seeds will produce only female plants.A true feminized seed will be a virtual replica of the plant it came off of. The seeds you got...someone has "probably" figured how to sex seeds by their appearance and most likely someone screwed up. An auto is a sort of mule etc.
