your plant produced seeds for ONLY one reason, it was 'pollinated' ... either another plant had male flowers, or your '100% female' produced some male flowers (hermaphrodite) ... that's the only way it happens ... I've never had a hermaphrodite, but seen plenty of them ... you can still smoke it, of course, but otherwise, I wouldn't use it for producing seeds, or breeding ... 'hermie' sex changes like that demonstrate weak genetics, (in MY opinion) ... you can use the "but, it may produce more females" argument, but (in MY opinion), you're just propagating more weak-genetic plants, something I would avoid ... again, that's just the way I see it ... good luck :thumbsup:

stress of any kind can cause a hermie ... basically, the male plant is capable of enduring worse conditions, than the female ... so, if things are too rough for her, she may 'switch' to male ... I have subjected lots of plants to enormous stress, over the years (from not knowing what I was doing, and sometimes on purpose, to test stability) ... I still haven't had a hermie ... I have had serious lightstress, though ... it didn't cause hermies, but started growing one-blade branches, lol ... weird-looking ... left alone, it gradually returned to normal, and finished as a typical female ... I may be misguided, but I 'test' my plants for stability, stressing them, and keeping the survivors for future breeding ... only the strong survive ... Nature's rule: 'no pussies allowed' ... :jointsmile:
