If I understand the question correctly, yes you would have a plant of the same genetic (produced breed true). But you can end up with [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]hermaphrodites [/FONT]like the picture below.

What is a Hermaphrodite plant?
An hermaphrodite, or hermie, is a Marijuana plant of one sex that develops the sexual organs of the other sex. Most commonly, a flowering female Marijuana plant will develop staminate flowers, though the reverse is also true. Primarily male hermaphrodites are not as well recognized only because few growers let their males reach a point of flowering where the pistillate would be expressed.
Hermaphrodites are generally viewed with disfavor. First, they will release pollen and ruin a sinsemelia crop, pollinating themselves and all of the other females in the room. Second, the resulting seeds are worthless, because hermaphrodite parents tend to pass on the tendency to their offspring.
Please note that occassionally specious staminate flowers will appear in the last days of flowering of a female Marijuana plant. These do not drop pollen and their appearance is not considered evidence of deleterious hermaphroditism.
Here's an image of a hermaphrodite, specifically a female Marijuana plant with staminate flowers.

This is what i found:
Hybrid seeds are the first generation offsprings of two distant and distinct parental lines of the same species. Seeds taken from a hybrid may either be sterile or more commonly fail to breed true, not incorporating and expressing the desired traits of the parent.

Nope not my pic! Borrowed! Is a nice pic of a hermie.
I have yet to get one of these in my crops.Thank God!
Although when I crossbreed my one and only "Columbian Red Block" If female I will land up with many of these because I will be crossbreeding it with it's self. This will always produce hermies, which is ok for seed. But before I crossbreed it with it's self I will be taking clones, some for pure strain grow, and rest to cross with Haze! Let's hope that my one and only "Columbian Red Block" turns out to be female! Otherwise i'll pollenate with Haze!

Just some idiot
I'm sorry I misread the priginal question, sounds like you are saying you have no males and the fem. produced seeds. She selfed herself meaning all seeds will be fem or hermie. True breeding is not the same really. I personally would never use selfed seeds, too many herms.
netchess,
I don't know about hermie seeds breeding true, but odds are that they will produce hermie off-spring.
As to what you can do to prevent/cure the problem, there is a product called REVERSE by Dutch Masters that sterilizes pollen and supposedly kills early seeds. I have a decent producing (both quality and quantity) that looks like a non-auto lowryder that we have used REVERSE on for 3 crops, one the original and then tow different sets of clones taken from the same mother. REVERSE has killed the seeds in everything that we have used it one if the seeds were young enough. The most recent crop, we applied REVERSE shortly after going into flower, again 10 days later like the directions say and so far we are no seeing any male organs. However, we will watch it closely and if we see any, then we will reapply REVERSE again. It is the swame chemicaal that is used commercially to produce seedless watermelons.
Hopefully this wil help.
