So no, I don't know why the buds had seeds, but I do know the plants those seeds grew into looked like ladies until it was too late.

You can buy quality seeds relatively cheap. Why risk the grave disappointment?
if we are going to base it on the assumption that that it is being grown for sale then wouldn't that grower use clones? and the reason for cloning is to maintain a genetic line for certain desired traits (reducing many unkown variables starting from beans) not to mention shorten time to harvest.

so with that being said, there would be no males. only ladies. so one of those ladies would have had to hermied, hence the bag seed. this would have been a known strain bred for aforementioned desirable traits (amongst other reasons). how do you suppose that those ladies hermied? how could it have happened? could it possibly be due to stress?

if i'm not mistaken don't breeders use pollen from stressed females to cross with other females to produce femmed seeds?
