Genetics question -

How’s it going y’all, was hoping to get some input on a question I had regarding some seeds I accidently produced.
Long story short, I was growing multiple strains all from feminized seeds.
I had one plant from strain (x) herm on me and pollinate the plants from strain (y) across from it. X strain was removed from the room but unfortunately the pollen it produced made strain Y produce seeds.
The seeds that came off strain Y look to be great quality, large healthy seeds. Now my question is what would the genetics of these seeds be? Would it be X x Y? Or would it just be Y bx?
Thanks in advance for any input

Also was planning to pop these and see what happens, anyone here have good experience running a bunch of seeds of a feminized plant that seeded out? I know that many people pop bag seeds but curious if anyone has hunted through a bunch of them, wondering if any of those seeds also hermed.

If it's a hermie prone plant/genetics you'll probably end up with hermie prone offspring.

It's just a cross (Y x X). A backross would be Y x (Y x X)

I have had a straight up male in fem seeds- my guess is the breeder had a little pollen contamination- seeds produced great herb so it worked out fine

Shouldn't be a problem if we're talking about meds you grow for yourself, and aren't like producing this on a mass scale for market. Herms schmerms, who cares, lol

did it herm, with pollen sacs or just put out naners?

if x and y are different strains it would be a feminized cross (X x Y), if both are the same strain it would be a selfed plant

If X and Y are both true breeding (doubtful) you would see approximately 25% of the offspring resemble each parent and 50% would show characteristics of each parent combined . ie something different from each parent .

If X and Y are both polyhybrids the results could be all over the place .

Yeah that’s what happened here, 1/12 was just a straight male, dumped some pollen extremely early before I caught it, of course it was in the back of a table against a wall

Thanks for the replies everyone, I’m running 12 of the 50+ seeds i saved, might make a thread to update if they turn out well. The plant that was pollinated is a prized cut I hunted and saved the last 4 years so hoping for something special here
