I finished my plants (from female seeds), and a few flowers went hermy, and gave me some seeds. I planted these seeds tonight. What kind of success rate should I expect (they were nice looking, fully mature, mottled seeds), and will the seeds produce more females?
Thanks in advance...

I believe i you look into this you'll see that the male gene is minimal, but it is still present. Plants do not determine sex the same way mammals do, they adapt to the situation at hand, meaning that a stressed plant will often turn hermie...you can't stress a mammal into switching sex. If the male gene was in fact not present, I don't think you could possibly end up with a hermie..as that is the definition of a hermie to display both sexual reproductive organs.
Peace
