Feminized Plant Pollinated with Hermaphrodite - Seed Gender?

I have a female white widow that I grew from feminized seeds, which was pollinated by a hermaphrodite (grown from bagseed) in the 4th week of flowering. I've read that females pollinated by hermaphrodites often produce feminized seeds, but does anyone know what would be the result of a "feminized" plant being pollinated by a hermi? Thanks!

Hi All,
Whether the seeds are feminized depends on the hermaphrodite. If the plant was female x chromo then bc of stress hermed you will have all female seeds if it pollinates another female (as long as you don't recreate the stressor).

If its a genetic herm then you'll have herm seeds.

i have 2 plants going. they're both about 2 weeks into flowering. both are looking fab, but one seems to be producing what might look to be little sacks that have the shape of a little seed. should i be worried? they're both in the same location.

Commercial seed growers primarily use force-hermied females to create female seeds. Some people say that hermie seeds "tend to be hermies", but this is false. Hermies are natural and just part of the plants survial mode that every now and then it happens.

It's a male. Burn it! When removing the plant, be very, very delicate with it. If any pollen sprinkles off (and its on there like powder if it is), then it'll create seeds on your other good female plant.

You could separate the two (FAR!!!) and continue flowering the male and just pluck seeds for later off it too.
