genetics question...

Ok,
I'm pretty stoned right now.. but have a weird question.

In my last grow, I was doing a few different strains. I had all feminized seeds, and cloned out my plants, threw them into flower.. all girls.
I had in one "room" a bubba kush and a strawberry cough. 2 plants. I got 1/4 lb from them. out of that 1/4 lb, I found a few seeds in the kush.
It spit out a few bananas that went unnoticed as it was in the back corner of the space, and I literally got 2 viable looking seeds (maybe 6 white ones).

I am smoking the last of the strawberry cough from the plant from the same space as the hermied kush right now, and found a seed. one seed out of the 2 1/2 ounces of cough.

I've never had a plant hermie on me or had seeds before... I'm pretty stoked. My question is about the cough seed....
is this how a breeder crosses genetics?

In which case.. if I grow out this seed.. and it's a female, can I count on at least a possibility of a strawberry kush?

Even if someone can point me to a good starting point to start learning more about genetics and breeding weed on my own - it would be appreciated.

Odds are its a plant! YES STRAWBERRY KUSH maybe,

If the Cough pollinated itself, then most likely the offspring will be herms. If the Cough hermed and pollinated the kush, then it's likely you have some either fem/herm seeds.

I'm sure you could find a torrent of Robert Clarke's "Marijuana Botany", which is a great source to learn about breading.

I would say the odds are pretty good it's a plant - yes.

Thanks for something to look up I'll try and find a place to download it.

No- the kush pollinated the strawberry (and itself).
I'm not as concerned if the plant will hermie...I'm wondering about the potential of the plant.
I'm not trying to come off like I lucked out and invented a new strain... I'm not. I suspect there's alot more to breeding and stabilizing a strain than I could likely even start to imagine. I'm just asking if there is any possibility that I MAY have lucked out and will get a killer mix by accident? can that happen - is what I'm wondering.. or does it not work like that?
I mean... if I take bubba kush (which was a killer set of genetics) and it hermies and pollinates a decent strawberry cough (my best cough plant was in my other room) what are the chances that I could get a really decent cross? 33.33%? ..25%?
I vaguely remember Mendel's Law stuff from high school... but that was long long ago.. and I don't really know what different factors effect MJ genetics or how to apply the laws to answer the question.

I see, I just assumed the Cough was the one that hermed, I usually hear of someone's SBC herming...

ok...

So - for ease of discussion.. I have a 50% chance at a female plant.. and then a crap shoot as to what characteristics become dominant. But within that crap shoot I have a possibility of having a really good hybrid on my hands?

Am I understanding it right? Or am I missing anything?
