found a few seeds in my feminized plant

So after doing a fine manicure on my buds. i found 2 seeds from my feminized plant. I started out with feminized seeds. a few questions... are these seeds viable? and why did my feminized plant have a couple of seeds? Is this common? I don't think it turned hermie.

Its common. I had a few seeds in my outdoors last season. Not grown em out though.

Something must have pollenated her. Seeds don't occur without two gametes to form a zygote.

hmm... unless neighbors are growing too.. which i highly doubt. or the pollen could have traveled from a neighbor down the street.

are the seeds viable? they look and feel like they're aren't duds.

What do they look like? If they've got some hardness and even if they're mostly light colored, it's pretty possible.

i've found a few male flowers pressed between the stem and the bud, they got crushed by plant growth but not before they pollinated the bud they were being crushed by

I tried googling "my feminized cannabis plant produced seeds" did not end up with any solid answers to my questions. A lot of the links were talking about the plant being hermied. I do not think my plant hermied at all. I only found 2 seeds from my whole harvest. So... the pollen theory is possible.... but it couldn't possibly be any of my immediate neighbors. They don't seem like the type... but neither do i .hahaaha

that's odd. how the heck did a few male flowers get there?

feminized plants will do that sometimes, just grow a nanner or two, not sure if its just genetics showing a little or if its stress, not like they grow tons of them, but i've had particular ones i've had to keep an eye on for the first couple of weeks of flower

It probably herm'd just a bit, maybe a single ball. Either heat stress or it's dragging a dominant herm gene. Normak feminized seeds are produced without changing the genes, using colloidal silver to inhibit ethylene, which is the chemical responsible for female plants. The genes still read female, but the plant will produce male balls; however, instead of male pollen, the pollen will read that the pollen parent is actually female. So when you have a single strand of DNA, that first set of two contain two sex chromosomes, one from each parents. Both sex/parent chromosomes will read "female." So there's essentially no chance of male.
