do feminized seeds have pheno's like regular seeds?

My question is this:

Usually one would order or have several seeds they may grow out from a certain strain. From these seeds they may find the "best" pheno.

Is the same true for feminized seeds?

Or, When you order a feminized seed, are you less likely to get undesirable pheno? (Because the breeder has selected the " best " pheno and crossed it with another female plant's pollen sacs)

Anyone that has ordered and grown out 10 feminized seeds, Have you noticed any big pheno variation in your plants??

The reason i ask this is: I just set several different strains of feminized seeds to germinate, and i wondered if I cut my chances of getting the "best" pheno by not using regular seeds..

Germinating:

KingsKush
LA Woman
LA confidential
Kushberry

all my grows are from femed seeds and i've witnessed a massive difference in phenos from a number of different seeds but most especially from la woman, all seeds came from the greeenhouse seed co. although different batches and they ranged from short bushy almost pure indica( that yeilded 7oz in an organic soil grow) to a tall leggy sativa/indica hybrid that yeilded 3oz to my present one that looks almost totally sativa and i dont thinks gonna yeild above 2 even though its almost 5' tall. ia slo grew 5 femed of the church and again the phenos were all diiferent; 2 tall, 2 average, 1 mutant, althought they each averaged around 3 1/2 oz.
i cant compare anything with regular seeds though coz i dont use them, i cant be bothered growing sumthing to end up destroying it when it turns out male.
 
Would like to hear more thoughts.


I guess,,,with NO experimenting,,,,,,,,,,,that a fem seed would be a clone in a seed.

It would be gerat if fems did represent all possible pheno//genomes.

why wouldn't they is what i'm saying.. each plant has so many say chromosones, and even when using fem seeds, there's still so many combinations of how these chromosones and traits and genes can all line up together and how they would then be expressed in the offspring..
fem's are in now way like clones cuz you're still using pollen to get the seeds... this is introducing more genetics and traits into the gene pool.. even if one were to make one plant turn on itself, and use the pollen from that plant to pollinate itself, i still think that they genetics wouldn't all fall in the same place that they did when they formed the original plant..
and most of the time, breeders don't simply self a plant and use it's pollen on itself.. most of the times from what i've read, they use a chemical to force a hermie on one plant, then use that pollen on another plant.. so once again, you're still introducing different genetics into the line, and who knows how many different combo's of plant genetics one could get from one plant..

anymore thoughts on this?? im very eager to know if different phenos are possible in fem seeds (im looking for a vegas lemon leaning pheno if possible) from DNA lemon skunk fem seeds.
