Female plant with a couple of Hermie flowers?

Hey all--
I just harvested my first plant. She was flowering in DWC for 74 days, 400W HPS. I have huge buds drying in the closet. My guess at this point... 4-5 oz dry. She was a big bitch. My question...
As I was trimming her down... i noticed I had some male flowers on the lower branches deep inside the plant. The little "popcorn" buds have some seeds down there. Any idea why I developed some hermie flowers? Was it the lack of light deep into the plant? These little buds seem to be the only ones affected. and I only say about 6 flowers total. Any thoughts on prevention in the future. I have 3 of her sisters in the bloom room wtih no signs of flower or seeds.
Thx

no light stress... my grow room is completely light proof... even my basement is light proof... Not a light leak to be had. Any other thoughts?
None of my colas were compromised... they are big... and FEMALE!

hmmmm,its a genetic hermie then.wait....are they actual seeds for sure or are u just guessing? you'll get male flowers on a female towards the end of life if its not pollinated but they wont matter. sure it wasnt swelled caylxs?

I have actual seeds... but only in the little popcorn buds that were deep inside the plant. This plant was a monster... 4 feet tall... 3 feet round in all directions. I was thinking maybe the stress of not getting proper light made them go hermie. But that is just a guess. Ill post a picture tonight.

Ohhh.. and the original seed that I grew this girl from was from BC Seeds... Strain... Chronic.
I have 3 other girls (from clone) in the bloom room with no signs of hermie. They are bigger and beefier than mom. About 40 days in.

it was a genetic hermie most likely. they are not as uncommon as some people think, most just assume they fucked up the lights somehow. femmed seeds have a 1/4 chance of being a genetic hermie is what we came up with in another thread.if thats not the answer i have no clue why/how it hermied

This was not a feminized seed. And Im not complaining about the yield or the plant... Ive got more bud off that one plant than I can smoke. I tried a sample last week on a earlier clip... and its powerful.
