Seeds Found in Auto Flowing Plant Question

I found 4 seeds after flowering out an auto flowering plant. I would consider myself an upper level novice grower and I can say that I don't think these were stressed. Would these seeds be auto flowering themselves? I have never really dealt with auto flowering strains, and haven't found much info on this subject. Any info would be much appreciated.

it just depends on where the pollen came from really. if it came from another auto plant than yes they would be 100% auto. same if it hermied and pollinated itself but the only down side would be the offspring you have would be prone to hermie.

See I'm pretty sure there was no pollen. I don't mess with males and have maintained a pretty steady and healthy flowering room for a few years now. I'm thinking maybe the plant hermied because of bad genetics. It was a freebie. So if it hermied it should still be an auto flowering plant right? The reason for this was because I planned on throwing it outside next year. I've never tried and auto flower outside as this is my first experience with them. They other freebie that I got also hermied and was from the same seed bank. This is what makes me think it was bad genetics from the start. I've never had anything hermie before this. For the sake of knowledge they were from royal queen seeds.

If you got seeds there had too have been pollen there somewhere. Either from the plant itself or the first hermie. No pollen no seeds.

if i were you i would trash them. there obviously hermie prone and i wouldnt risk pollinating your plants or someone else's plants with that crap. its only a few seeds

...as well as a slew of pheno types even from parents that are alike..

How old was she when you harvested ? Not messen with ya but are you sure they were seeds ?
I had a plant that I grew long trying to wait for my tricombs to amber up and she ended up trying to produce pollen sacs.

The plants were around 12 weeks or so. I have different cycles and strains running around my flowering room and I didn't date the auto flowering ones because I only had two, and they weren't really that important to me. This 12 weeks from about when they sprouted. I had always heard that hermie plants don't produce pollen....I'll have to keep a better lookout. I have heard of over growing a plant until it produces flowers/seeds. Should I be plucking any little pre flowers that I see? The little yellow guys. Sometimes I get these on other plants but VERY rarely.

use them in a new spot outdoors .. and only plant those there just incase there hermi prone.. but ive grown seeds out of hermi bud.. and without stress they dont hermi but the slitest bit stress they hermi.. and from wat ive read.. if its auto self pollinated .. then ya they should be auto.. but if its some other plant hermi and hit the auto.. then like 25% the offspring are auto.and u can gethat to 100 percent with back crossing.. and such.. di say toss outside somewere and check it out see wat happens.. and if there not auto.. and end up amazing.. grab a cl0one.

I just found a seed in a Chronic Ryder bud. It's not fully developed and I'm not sure how it got there. When I made QWISO I ground up a Lowryder and it had this strange stuff that floated to the top of the mix, it looked like strawberry seeds. Maybe I had a hermie Lowryder that was developing seed?

this is true but from my understanding, the auto gene is always recessive when making a new cross so the 25% offspring wouldnt appear until f2 seeds are made from a (auto x photoperiod) cross.

Probably caused by low light levels if your plants were really bushy. I bet the seeds came from lower branchs. They should be fem seeds. Id grow them out.
