Found some seeds in my grapefruit!
Under normal situations, a plant that hermies is not a good thing. However, your gal is 2 years old- pretty old for a annual plant- that's stress. She has "selfed" herself. This is from an old post where a guy was asking about forcing a plant to make male flowers-
disABLEme-"If I force stress a clone into a hermie for seeds will the seeds keep the same traits or does it not work that way?"
Stinkyattic-"The offspring of the S1 (first selfed) generation are not necessarily going to be uniform in their traits, but you can grow out that population and choose the female that most closely resembles the mother"
disABLEme then asks about using gibberellic acid to make male flowers on clones- is it selfing?
Stinkyattic-"That IS selfing. But you don't need GA; you can do it with photoperiod stress or allowing a ripe, finished plant to sit in flower for an extra couple weeks. I recommend the no-chem versions, since you can't smoke any part of a plant that has been treated with giberellins." (emphasis mine)
Your gal did has sat in flower a wee bit more than a couple extra weeks! If you use the seeds, they MAY hermie, or they MAY just all be perfectly normal females, but since your gal took 2 years, I'd bet on all females option. Oh, I'd certainly keep an eye out for male flowers, but I'd sure use the seeds and cull if needed.
