I wouldn't use them. I get feminized seeds from a proper seed bank.
Hermaphrodite? Late flowering

Herms come from hermed plants. Those plants are not hermies.
Female seeds are produced on purpose by stressing the female plants during early flower. Colloidal silver is typically used. Light stress also works. I have thousands of female gelato and white widow seeds that were produced with light Stress. Last years batch didn’t get a single seed. it just doesn’t work that way.
Seeds created by nanners, not balls, will be female. The process is called rodelization. I’m currently growing some Northern Lights that were seeded (self pollinated females) and the plants are all female.

Where do you think the ‘proper seed banks’ get their feminized seeds? They stress their females. Like you did.

Good to know.
Learn something every day.
Guess I won't be buying seeds next round.

And get a different fan, or take your current one(s) apart and clean them well..... I learned the hard way

I have an air compressor. I use the air nozzle attachment and blow out all the crap from fans and light when I clean up the tent. Works well.And get a different fan, or take your current one(s) apart and clean them well..... I learned the hard way
he was showing male flowers which is a herm. it's what a herm is.
you can use sts or cs to self a female producing female seed. it's not a stress herm reaction.
edit: wonder if you might mean rodelization (?). not sure of the term. it was an early method of making fem seeds that involved stressing females in very late flower to herm.
if the stressed plant produced pollen, it could be used on a different female plant of the same strain to produce mostly female seed.
any seed produced by the same plant pollinating itself would be almost always herm.
now sts or cs is used and the resulting pollen is used to pollinate separate female plants to produce female seed. cs and sts both produce a higher percentage of female seed than rodelization.

In the 60s all weed had seeds at least what I got it was also under $10 a lid.
I asking late again but do you mind if I follow along?
male flower dead center of this pic. it already splooged.
another at the top of the pic you copied
it's a hermie.
when the pollen is used on a separate stable female. the selfed plant will be either herm or female with a higher percentage of herm.
specifically letting it run long under high light conditions. has to be past normal harvest window, under high light conditions. it's a last ditch effort by the plant to create seed without the presence of any males.

@KeithLemon your giving a thumbs up to the post showing female flowers with nanners while @bluter is claiming them to be male has me concerned.
Sorry, those are “nanners”.male flower dead center of this pic. it already splooged.

they are both male expressions in a female flower. the female flower is the bud. it's a hermie.
edit : @Buddskii already even knows its a hermie himself lol

To be honest I do not know if it is female flowers or male. If it where a true male there would be many more seeds, I would think. but I do not know for sure.

above is a hermie-it has male parts and female parts..they are born this way and are noticeable early on
above is a male-all male parts
Unfortunately @bluter says the above is a male or expressing something that makes it a hermie. THIS IS A FEMALE FLOWER. the big red arrow is pointing at a self generated pollen pod. The female can produce pollen on its own under certain conditions when no males are present. Females never ever in no way on earth turn into males.

i get where you are coming from. it's a female expressing a male trait in stress frustration. the female flower is the bud. not the yellow bits. those are male expressions.
folk who keep propagating hermies do nothing but fuck up the gene pool. there is a huge problem with it in local medical strains as a result now. don't run frankenseed.

Awesome! Yes.
the yellow bits are elongated pollen pods the female plant makes as a last ditch effort to produce seeds and live on. Females can only produce females this way.
