Can You Get Different Phenotypes From Feminized/Hermie Seeds?

Let me preface this by saying I don't know anything about how plant genetics work, so please answer like you're talking to a dummy. Because you are, with me.

I got 2 seeds from the exact same bud and they were the only two seeds found in an ounce. From my understanding this is probably due to hermaphrodism due to stress? And essentially they would be feminized seeds with a higher chance of being hermaphrodites themselves?

Assuming I have that down and it is true, would that make the seeds genetic clones of the mom?

The reason I'm curious about this topic, is those two seeds are and have been growing in the same environment. They are half(ish) way through flowering and they look similar, but have distinctly different characteristics also.

Ok dummy,
Yes you can get different phenos from fem seeds

Thank you for the blunt answer. Moderaters can close this thread, the rest of my rambling is irrelevant.

Lol, you made me do it,
You never know though someone could show up with a better more informative answer.

Not true at all, I think hermaprodism is a complex process (need study for sure). I have plants that hermie on me and I end up with a bagful of seeds. I have planted those seeds, as those seeds turned into plants they got subjected (beyond my control) to very stressful situation; partial root rot, extreme heat and insufficient light for almost a week. Some of my plants died but those that survived were able to give me decent yield and not a single hermie.

This depends on what's on the genetic of the mother. If the mom was a crossbred then yes you'll get different phenotype. If the mom was the result of several generations of inbreeding then more likely you'll get a uniform phenotype.

Well that helps settle my nerves that things are going to go wrong in the last weeks of flowering due to genetics. In all honesty the bud looked old and brown and had a comically harsh/bad taste. But it did the trick, which is my main concern these days.

I thought that with a little TLC I could get some decent smoke from the seeds. But then I started reading up a little on hermaphrodism and stuff and got worried.
