Ive a friend who had a few mishaps with lighting this grow and the end result is I have collected several seeds from rather good smoke. Ive got a couple going & plan on keeping good eye on them. Has anyone had good or bad results from stressed plan seeds?
 
Grow 'em, but don't use them for any breeding unless they turn out to be some incredible, amazing thing. Cull them early if they have any issues. Otherwise, best of luck to you.

All feminized seeds are artificially stressed. I would be careful because they might be unstable.
 
If you have a plant that shows both pistils and balls early in flower......that's genetic and a true hermie........any seeds would be hermies as well.
If you have a plant that threw out some nanners late in flower because of stress.......it's called rodelization and the seeds will be fems.
Some growers do that intentionally to get fem seeds.

So you dont believe it likely I'll have any problems once i know they are female? Thats great news. Not that i would have any issues watching them close, i can barely stay away as is lol.

Have at it! You never know until you try.

Early or late hermaphrodites are all the same to me. That's not to say it won't be good smoke either.
But if seeds are what you're after + you want stability / consistency, then plant selection is important. And you wouldn't "want" to use hermaphrodite pollen or seeds, ever.
Balls or nanners is a trait no grower ever "wants". And it's not an ideal trait to select for.

Good luck with it seriously! You might get something great out of them.
But don't beat yourself down if you get nanners or balls again. Don't assume it's something else, other than the genes themselves.
Some grow them and some never do. There's no point in chasing your tail.

With any luck those traits will be passed on.

All the best and good luck.
