Are seeds from a fem also fems?

The seeds i found come from a feminized plant that produced her own seeds, are those also feminized? Have you grown this kind of seeds? Are the caracteristics similar to their mother? Or is it a mistake and i will grow hermies ?

I have some breeding experience, and no seeds from feminised seed will not be feminized, its a process you bring onto the plant while in grow phase, where you add silver moliculed water, that surpress a gas which is needed to become a male, and they all become female. so what you have is self pollinated seed… and will most likely have 75% of being the same as the mother.. it can be a fully funktional seed.. or turn out to be a hermie, just grow it as usually and if it shows signs of being a hermie toss it :)

They come from an outdoors grow, so they might have gotten polinated, by bees or something... will keep an eye on for hermies, but i will grow them outdoors (in a little greenhouse) with reused soil, so anything i will get is a bonus. No electric bill, or even nutrients, just compost soil and water... thanks for answering! Happy grow to all of you!

You're plant was pollinated. A fem can't breed her own seeds unless you use the R method (can't remember the spelling) But, there's a high chance you picked up hermie pollen and the chances of these seeds picking up hermie traits are increased. But, in no way, can you not try them. Just keep a close eye near pre flower. And no. Hermied seeds are 50/50 I'm nearly sure.

Your going to get hermies using hermie seeds is a waste of money and time the chance that you will have seeds in the buds is really high I would throw them away and start with good quality seeds from reputable sources happy growing but especially in the UK with electricity costs etc do you really need hermie plants again and again

Only got about 4 or 5 seeds total, picked the best 3, and now they seem ok, I will be careful for any male traits, hope I can get two of the three to full maturity ! Thanks for the answers!

if it hermied and knocked itself up, yes that'll be 100% female. xx x xx can only result in xx. each "x" or "y" is an allele. you make a little box of the cros xx x xy , for exmaple is 2 xx and 2 xy (draw a box, divide into 4, but x x along top of box and xy along side... how they criss-cross is possible outcomes of sexual reproduction. xx x xx is xx in all 4 boxes. The only way you get a male is if there was some contamination of male pollen. so as long as no males were anywhere nearby, or you didn't carry it in on your clothes, should be female. the bad things - a plant that hermies easily and pollinates itself is at risk of passing along a very detrimental trait. hermy from extreme stress or chemical manipulation is one thing, but if it happens naturally, that's due to genetics and that can be passed on. so, watch out for hermaphroditic plants. if you see a high rate of this, stop using those seeds. i wouldn't suggest using them in the first place, but each to their own on having fun.
