All the strains have this. It's called a calyx.

i didnt see these types of seeds in my last few grows they were smaller seeds with no trichs or pistils and they just busted open with pollen..
these seeds i see now arent busting open at least yet

Sounds like you are describing pollen sacks. Seeds do not ever bust open with pollen. If it has a pistol it is not a pollen sack. That's the biggest way to tell, always take care of ball sacks with no white hairs.
I bet the ones the busted open had no pistol and were hanging down on a stem ?

exactly they were pollen sacks i thought they were seeds that makes more sense now
also is this good to have these calyx? will i still get a good potent yield?
and theres no male to fertilize her

Hundreds of calyx make up a bud, so yes it is good. Trichomes means a certain amount of potent. More trichomes, more potent.

Males in this world are only needed to make seeds. Most of us prefere seedless.

I don't get this? Wot exactly are you growing because it sounds like your growing hermaphrodites reusing the seeds you get from your grow and then getting another hermaphrodite. To get the best yield, best smoke, you need to get some good feminized seeds so as to get a female of good quality.

not feminized so good chance of hermie but even if it is feminized and shes 100% female she should have calyx right? or no?

calyx are buds. Yes !

The best way is to use regular seeds and proof cuttings from them to get a strong genetic female mother.
The fast way is to use femm seeds. You may need to use something like dutch masters reverse to keep from having femm seeds and banana's. not all femm do this but some do and can mess you up if you don't want even femm seeds.

One more point. A true femm can not go hermie. only banana's and make femm seeds. Fem seeds only have femm genetics and is what makes them more easily stressed out.
