I dont know what they look like but supposedly they will flower or pre-flower as females, but in the middle of the cycle they turn to hermis and start growing male pods and seeds. But like when you buy feminized seeds, those are from originally female plants that have been hermaphrodized into males, and as a result they produce tiny seeds. The seeds are culled and sold at a premium price because the seeds are said to retain the sex of the original plant, which should guarantee a female. However this is disputed because although you have a female seed, you have also now passed down the trait of sporadic hermaphrodism to these female seeds, which is not desirable. A lot of factors like abrupt lighting and temperature changes induces hermis, which i am way over my head in.
