Accidental feminzed seeds
Last year I had a grow of Mandala's Hashberry and Satori simultaneously. I like both strains, but smoking too much Hashberry makes me a bit queasy and makes my skin numb and tingly in a way that isn't very comfortable. Satori is a great sativa breed though, and I really like it.
Anyway, I had a fungus attack my hashberry plants, and the stress caused my female plants to have a few male flowers. When I finally harvested, I had a whole bunch of seeds. At first I wasn't thrilled about this, but then I realized, every single one of these is a feminized seed. I have two tic tac boxes full of seeds that will only produce females. The majority are Hashberry F2s, but about 70-80 are Hashberry x Satori. The latter have enormous seeds, and my current grow is four plants from this lot. So far, only female flowers, and all my plants look very nice. I should get 4-5 ounces from this grow (400w HPS) if I'm lucky.

Treat them w/ the utmost of care , no stress this time .
You don't know who polinated who . A plant that polinates itself has a much much greater chance of being a hermie .
They're not true females . They're chix w/ recessive dix . / Freaks :(

Considering only the hashberries had male flowers, I can be fairly certain that any seeds I got off of Satori plants were not pollinated by themselves. The Satori hybrids are the only seeds I planted indoors. I did end up planting a whole bunch of the Hashberry seeds outside on unused land; it'll be interesting to see if any of these reach maturity.
I'm pretty hopeful for these, since only one of their parents had hermie flowers and probably because of a fungus that doesn't seem to be there now.

Well, they are real females, in any sense. Cannabis has either a XX/X0 sex-determination system or a XX/XY system like mammals, meaning that seeds from two females always have the XX genotype and are therefore also females. True, sex in cannabis plants is also influenced by the environment, but that's always the case anyway.
