Can a female be forced to make seeds without any sort of pollen? I have heard of animals actually becoming pregnant without ever being fertilized by a male, because they trick themselves into thinking they are going extinct or something like that. So do plants do this as well?

The reason I ask is I have a plant with seeds, and I don't know how they got there.

On a lighter, less religous note I think it may be possible but the seeds produced probally won't germinate.... I have reason to believe this as one of my recent creations sprouted 3 seeds from nowhere!

Yeah, um... and that would make you believe they wouldn't germinate why exactly?

Anyone else?

Just because you can't fathom where pollen could come from, doesn't mean it didn't come..

a hermaphrodite cannabis plant will produce both male and female flowering parts.. it will therefore pollenate itself and produce it's own seeds. the seeds should also then be hermaphrodite seeds that will follow the same growth pattern.

A cannabis plant could go hermaphrodite to reproduce, but there would be evidence of male flowers if this were the case. What is more likely is that there was accidental pollination through transfer. Pollen is extremely resilient, very tiny, and can travel for miles. Accidental transfer can occur through clothing, shoes, the wind, your hands or hair.

The answer to your original question is no. A female cannabis plant will not reproduce without male pollen.

Really smart ass? I didn't say, or imply that it wasn't possibly pollinated.
