That's if we're talking about a male plant pollinating a female plant. I think KillerBudG is talking about a female plant that hermied. When a plant hermies, it produces male flowers with feminized pollen, NOT male chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male, the Y makes it a male. Since female plants don't have a Y chromosome, they cannot produce male seeds) Some people say it's 100% female seeds, others say 95%... I still haven't figured out that one.

Hermie = hermaphrodite

This is when a plant produces both female flowers and male pollen sacks. The plant will then pollinate itself and make seeds.

What is a hermaphrodite?
