Feminized seeds

Recently I harvested two plants. One was a female and the other was a hermaphrodite that I kept clipping the pollen sacs off of. I did miss a few and the hermie fertilized the female plant and produced a few dozens seeds. My question to you:

...will the seeds from the female plant automatically be feminized, or will there be an unknown mixture of hermie and female seeds?

This subject seems hard to get specific information on. Any help would be tremendously apprectiated.

Smoke on, Cody fucking rules.

BTW, the hermie smoke was good and the female smoke was great. :)
 
Every time I have grown a seed from a hermi plant, the subsequent plant was female and didn't hermi. I have done this a dozen times or so over the years. I have always assumed the reason was because I stress induced the change.

I think if you had a plant that produced male flowers under stress free conditions, it would give seeds that did so as well. But, I'm just another asshole giving it a go, and others may say differently.
 
They will more than likely be females yes (flukes are possible but in general the answer is yes).

The thing is, both were female. It's not either female or male or hermaphrodite. It's either female or male AND optionally hermaphrodite. Females can only pass the X sex gene, hence all offspring (leaving out exceptions) will be XX, female.

The fact the parent turned hermie does NOT automatically mean it's offspring will too. Rarely cannabis plants are hermie by default [unless you pick'm out of the wild of course], it is nearly always triggered by some form of stress (nurture in addition to nature, not nature alone). Point is, if you know what caused it to hermie (e.g. messed up the light timer or shocked it with nute overdose) there's a good chance the offspring won't turn hermie if you treat it better. If the conditions have been optimal however, it means it turned hermie easily and yes so will likely its offspring.
