Yes but they will have a higher tendency to become hermies as well

if you use seeds from a hermie then the tendency for its ofspring will hermie is higher,chop the stems that hermied and go on bout the grow,u dont want to sed up ur high grade with kinda useles seeds

If it were a male then there
would be a chance of female, male, or hermie
with a hermie, there is only a chance of female or hermie. practically 0% chance of males.
Here's what male flowers looking like

this last grow i grew out 10 seeds from a hermi plant from light leaks. 10/10 fems that were HORRIBLY stressed (massive PH fluctations/nute lockout.), then one plant had about a 45 min iteruption in its light period. it was in the bathroom for a flush, draining after the flush. the door was shut and lights off. about a week later it herm'd out on me. its possible that even it wouldnt have without the extra stress.. i have about 15 more of these seeds started now. along with a few clones from this last batch.
the best way to do the fem seed thing at home is to harvest pollen from a hermi in another room, or leave it in to pollinate if you wanna do the whole room, then use the harvest pollen to polinate your best looking fem. that way the hermi traits are even more reduced.

hermies are hermies and you can turn a fem in to a hermie by creating incorrect envionmental conditions. you should take care of the photoperiods and other growing factors to eliminate the question that is (did i do something wrong or is it hermie due to seed genetics????????.)
Environmental Effects
Many environmental factors can cause intersexes and sexual reversals. These include photoperiod, low light intensity, applications of ultraviolet light, low temperatures, mutilation or severe pruning, nutrient imbalances or deficiencies, senescence (old age), and applications of various chemicals.
The photoperiod (or time of planting using natural light) is the most important factor to consider for normal flowering it shows that the percentage of hemp plants that had confused sexual characteristics depended on the time of year they were planted. Normal flowering (less than five percent of the plants are intersexes) occurred when the seeds were sown in May, June, or July, the months when the photoperiod is longest and light intensity is strongest. When planted sooner or later in the year, the percentage of intersexuals increased steadily, until about 90 percent of the plants were intersexual when planted during November or early December.
Marijuana plants need more time to develop than hemp plants at latitudes in the United States. Considering potency, size, and normal flowering, the best time to sow for the summer crop is during the month of April. Farmers in the south could start the plants as late as June and still expect fully developed plants.
If artificial light is used, the length of the photoperiod can influence sexual expression. Normal flowering, with about equal numbers of male and female plants, seems to occur when the photoperiod is from 15 to 17 hours of light for a period of three to five months. The photoperiod is then shortened to 12 hours to induce flowering. With longer photoperiods, from 18 to 24 hours a day, the ratio of males to females changes, depending on whether flowering is induced earlier or later in the plant's life. When the plants are grown with long photoperiods for six months or more, usually there are at least 10 percent more male then female plants. When flowering is induced within three months of age, more females develop. Actually, the "extra" males or females are reversed plants, but the reversals occur before the plants flower in their natural genders.
Some plants will flower normally without a cutting of the photoperiod. But more often, females will not form thick buds unless the light cycle is cut to a period of 12 hours duration. Don't make the light cycle any shorter than 12 hours, unless the females have not shown flowers after three weeks of 12-hour days. Then cut the light cycle to 11 hours. Flowers should appear in about one week.
Anytime the light cycle is cut to less than 11 hours, some intersexes or reversed plant usually develop. This fact leads to a procedure for increasing the numbers of female flowers indoors. The crops can be grown for three months under a long photoperiod (18 or more hours of light). The light cycle is then cut to 10 hours. Although the harvest is young (about five months) there will be many more female flower buds than with normal flowering. More plants will develop female flowers initially, and male plants usually reverse to females after a few weeks of flowering.
Of the other environmental factors that can affect sexual expression in Cannabis, none are as predictable as the photoperiod. Factors such as nutrients or pruning affect the plant's overall health and metabolism, and can be dealt with by two general thoughts. First, good growing conditions lead to healthy plants and normal flowering: female and male plants occur in about equal numbers, with few (if any) intersexes or reversed plants. Poor growing conditions lead to reduced health and vigour, and oftentimes to confused sex in the adult plant. Second, the age of the plants seems to influence reversals. Male plants often show female flowers when the plant is young (vigorous) during flowering. Females seven or more months old (weaker) often develop male flowers after flowering normally for a few weeks.
Anytime the plant's normal growth pattern is disrupted, normal flowering may be affected. For instance, plant propagated from cuttings sometimes reverse sex, as do those grown for more than one season.
