Will my seeds hermie?

My roommate made some seeds a month or so ago using the colloidal silver method. He took two gelato clones from harborside and made a branch of one turn male then pollinated the other and took the seeds. Im curious if this will create any recessive dominance. I popped about 10 all fast growing well may even have a different pheno in there, pretty exciting. Im preparing them for outdoors this season and I dont want to risk mine or a neighbors farm due to my negligence, I will of course keep an eye on them. Just wanted to make sure I am not wasting a 4x4x2 hole on a herm. Any thoughts ideas would be greatly appreciated as genetics is a new thing for us.

Sounds like some decent feminized seeds, watch em you'll be fine just be ready to lose some if you see male preflowers.

Awesome, yea we are only going with two (both "phenos" ones very dark like most and one is light green different growth} be a good experiment to keep genetics going down the road. He got about 200 seeds off a small plant. Seed companys have it made seems like lol.

When you self a plant like your friend did, every heterozygous pair of alleles in the parent has a 25% chance of coming up homozygous recessive in each filial. So how many recessive traits pop up depends on how stable, i.e. how homozygous, the praents genes are Since there is very little genetically stable Cannabis available you're bound to have a lot of interesting things pop up.

And that has been the case lol been some weird mutations to the plant deciding to become a leaf from the mainshoot. After topping the leaf the two shoots formed both their own false leaves as if the plant become two plants. Trippiest thing ive seen but im super newbie with seeds. Partner swears seeds outperform clones so we will see.Another one formed 2 branches outta the side of one of the nodes was very very odd. Im not veey knowledgeable about plant geno and pheno type only somewhat with humans ive tried to explain to him thank you for elaborating on that for me. So what would be the difference between seed company fem and his. Do they "stabilize" and if so can u go into firther detail in what that actually means
