Why did my femed auto produce seeds

I have an auto that I harvested a few days back. When I started trimming it last night night off of just one small branch I have collected at least 20 seeds... could anyone tell me why...? Was it something I did..? Will they be feminized because they came from a fem plant...? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes but they are all females as well so I’m kinda at a loss as to how it got pollinated. I was thinking maybe it got stress out...?

Stress will not cause a plant to produce seeds. Stress can cause a plant to produce male parts or nanners which can produce pollen and pollinate the female flowering parts/pistils. One of your plants likely threw out some nanners and you just didn't see them. How far along in flower are the females? If the pollen came from nanners then the seeds will be feminized.

See nanners below.

Possibly you had a few nanners on the main stem or other nodes. I've had some over the years just like to pop them babies. Fem seeds too. I have two nanner strains I just flipped. I had some deisel strains that you had to keep an eye on. I've found some strains from some breeders will nanner. But I've found it's worth putting up with a few beans or just pull them. It seems to me that the slightly unstable genetics (or possibly my growing) some of the nanner strains have some real fire. I don't want to mention the strains etc. and start an issue. ymmv

The first cross I ever made years ago was from using nanners from one strain to pollinate another strain. Had a bunch of fem seeds and it turned out to be a great cross.

The other plants are all between 6-8 weeks of flower. Also I just went out and looked at them in my lunch break and noticed a few seeds on the others as well did I do something wrong to cause this...?

You didn't necessarily do anything wrong. You have a plant that tossed some pollen. At this point the only thing to do is let them finish. Don't do anything drastic and chop them early like some people do. Seeds won't ruin the weed. If you're selling it maybe not as desirable but if you're growing for yourself just pick the seeds out, smoke the weed, and enjoy. bongsmilie

Okay!! Thank you very much for your insight and taking the time to help me!!

Also, the seeds are from small breeders that I saw at the Michigan Celio Cannabis cup. At least the auto was. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe they don’t have all the ‘kinks’ bred out yet...?

With the way breeders are cranking things out these days even larger breeders are selling stuff with "kinks". Everyone has to come out with something new these days and much of that new stuff is just pollen chucking without any actual breeding being done. Proper breeding takes time. Something many are not willing to waste if they can get something to market and make $20 a seed from anyway.
