no male around? was this indoors? have you had males or hermis in the past? if not then its probably a plant that had male parts growing inbetween the buds that you didnt see and in that case go ahead and grow the seeds out youll get more plants close to the mom just be on the lookout for full on hermis and such.
theyll be hermi most likely.

Indoor grow.
Never had males of hermies in the past.
Thanks for your help. I have another Low Rider 2 that is going a little longer with considerably more fruit. Don't see any sign of seeds in that one.
I will grow a few of the beans and see what happens.
Thanks again,
Eggy
I've had seeds in a couple of my autos. Stress either from an acidic soil I was fighting (harshly), and/or letting it bloom longer than most people would.
I could never gather a clear understanding whether these self-seeds would be as reliable in terms of feminization and auto. The preponderance of info was that herm seeds from a plant grown from a feminized seed will be feminized too. So, it sounded like they'd be good seeds.
But, every one I've grown hasn't autoflowered. I had to put it in a 12/12 tent and leave it there. One also produced noticeably different smoke, like it was an entirely different strain. (But, it was good. Very pungent and more sativa head high.).
They've all been female. So, it seems you can count on your seeds being female if they were produced (stress-related hermie) from a plant grown from a feminized seed. But, you should be prepared for it being a photosensitive plant, perhaps different tastes and psychoactive qualities.

what strain was it from? if it was a first gen auto like one found in the F2 and was selfed it could throw 3/4 photo
Northern Storm (northern lights x snow storm x ruderalis). I don't know how stable the strain is. Not even the breeder of it.

yeah if I had to guess it was an F2 polyhy that wasnt the least bit stable lol
howd you come into those?
It was a freebie from marijuana-seeds.nl. I liked it a lot. Produced a lot, potent. Fits a 2x2x5' tall tent very well (i.e., it's a larger auto). No complaints. I'm leaning more towards 12/12 from seed (or 2-3 week veg) for reduced electricity, at least April-Nov when it gets hot here.

smart, i stopped growing indoor during that time frame because of the heat as well.
what strain are you gunna go with?
I have a bunch of Northern Lights, Big Bud, Bubblegum, Orange Bud, Mango, Hindu Kush, Sensi Kush, Afghani (probably forgetting a couple). Marijuana-seeds.nl doesn't publish breeder which turns off some people. But, the smoke is strong enough for me and my friends. I like the lower prices.
They have "value packs" and "two for one" deals. Buying all those seeds mentioned above is when I was got the Northern Storm Auto freebies. I never actually ordered any -- but it turned out to be my favorite. It felt like I few more of it because I was starting a new one every 5 weeks.
I liked having an old and young plant along side each other which allowed me to dial things in faster than waiting for an entire photo grow to try new things. I could figure some stuff out in early flower, then try new stuff on the plant sitting next to it that was 4 weeks behind younger. (The same could have been done with 12/12 from seed. But, I wouldn't have thought of that. Autos kind of guide you into those more flexible activities.).

Thanks for that input. Sounds like hopefully I will have a bunch of fem seeds. Looking forward to popping a few rather than trashing them. BTW. The ladies (or herms) were Low Rider 2.
They were stressed. Where I thought was a safe place to seed, when they were 2" tall, a rodent ate the head off of all five seedlings. Two survived....... Just when I thought i had it all together....disaster.... poop!
