Hermaphrodite question on seeds

Hello


Kinda new at this but will all the seeds be female? All the plants were female except the hermaphrodite. Sour D. They are some very nice looking seeds just wondering if they are all female or "feminized seeds"

they should be feminized (correct me if im wrong)
the seeds require pairs of chromasones an XX for female or XY for male
hermie plants contain only the X chromasone therefore you will get an X from the unfertilised seed and an X from the hermie pollen sack
therefore there is no chance of a male from these seeds (only the possibility of more hermies) as there is no source of a Y chromasone

It depends on the plant's genetics and it's ability to handle stress without hermying again. There are reports of plants that have went Hermie and produced a crop of seeds that was majority female seeds. However this is not always the case. Antyime you end up with a lot of seeds from a hermie, it is recommended that you do a controlled grow, sex early to determine if you are looking at a sack full of hermie seeds or females.
