Will a female plant produce any seeds?

I have a couple of plants that have been flowering for 8 weeks so they are getting near the end (they are different strains). On one plant that was started from a feminized seed, I found a fully developed seed popping out of a pod! I looked all over the plant and do not see any other seeds or pods. I then looked at the plant next to it which was started from a regular seed and sure enough, I found 1 fully developed seed popping out. These are my first plants so no experience but I assumed a female plant would not produce any seeds unless pollinated. Should I pull the seeds off or leave them until I cut the plants? Would these be fem seeds since they are from female plants? When I started flowering cycle, I had 2 male plants I pulled 4 days into flower....their sacs were almost microscopic so I can't imagine they are the culprit. I also have 4 other plants in the same tent and did not find any seeds on them so far.

A female plant CAN self produce a seedling late In flower...doesn't mean it always happens...cut of a random calyx and pop it op and see if you have more seeds....preferably a swelled

Nor am I a pro, bigdog,expert...just spreading knowledge

Did you notice any ball sacks on the female plant itself, no unless your male plants were dusty when you got them outta there they're not the culprit. If it was a hermie then yes it will produce feminized seeds but hate to tell you it will also pass on hermie genetics and you will likely have hermies from those seeds. See when they use colloidal silver to produce a hermie for whatever reason it doesn't pass on the hermie gene bc it was forced to hermie and was not a natural hermie so the genes aren't there.

Yes, it can self pollinate its called Autogamy. Sometimes a female plant will have what is basically a male and female together. It pollinates itself almost invisibly like over night. Some close by buds may also get a touch of pollen.
