Chance of a Hermie with Feminized Seeds

After reading a lot on this forum about feminized seeds, I see one major concern is that the plant will tend to have hermie traits.

I recently ordered a mix pack of feminized seeds from the Greenhouse Seeds Company and I am excited to get started, but that concern is in the back of my mind.

So I have a quick question for those that have used feminized seeds, specifically from the Greenhouse.

What are the odds of getting a hermie from a feminized seed. The risk of a regular seed is around 50/50 in regards to male/female ratio. Is the risk of a hermie in a feminized seed 50/50? More? Less?

The more I read, the worse the concept of feminized seeds appears. However I do like the mix pack idea from the greenhouse.

Most of the fem seeds I've ever used have seemed to hermie. Granted, that's only three, but still, they were guaranteed 100% female, and weren't? (Attitude)
I suppose it could be my methods, but other "known" seeds don't suffer this result.

hermie as in hermaphrodit?
Different strains have more or less of a chance to produce hermaphrodite plants. What strains did you buy? For instance, wonder woman feminized seeds have an 80 to 90 percent chance, based on growing experience and stress to produce a fully female plant. There are different factors that greatly increase the odds of having a "hermie". Hope this helps.

I bought the Greenhouse Seeds Indica/Sativa G mix.

That includes A.M.S., The church, white widow, white rhino, trainwreck.

Looking to do the AMS first, with an LST. I heard stress can influence it to be a hermie so I do not plan on topping them.
