Female pollen = feminized seeds?

So I had a hermie pollinate herself and 2 other plants in my closet. It's been awhile since I've researched feminization so it's pretty cloudy.. or rather smokey xD

I know the selfed plant will throw hermie seeds (is this correct?) but I'm wondering if the seeds from the other 2 plants will be fem due to the female pollen.

Help, advice, insight? Thanks!

Not necessarily. Female pollen is different than hermies. Hermies are hermies. Nanners throw female pollen.

Hermie plants beget hermie seeds.

About half of any plants grown from those seeds will also herm. If it's important to preserve the strain then with careful breeding using only plants that reach the finish without tossing 'nanners you can get plants that shouldn't herm any more.

If the plant has been kept in flower past it's best by date and starts tossing 'nanners then that pollen can be used to make fem seeds.

A female needs to be sprayed with a chemical which artificially tricks the plant into pollenating itself.. This is what makes feminized seeds.
Feminized is not a genetic variation and cant be bred into a plant.
However, some plants are genetically capable of throwing more females than others.
