Seeds in outdoor bud. Can they be used?

As title says. They were from clones & female seeds. I’ve had this problem 2 years in a row. Was wondering if they could be grown out because the bud is good. There isn’t a huge amount of seed either. Thanks in advance for any info.

If this were the case, nobody would need to buy feminized seeds and everyone would induce stress purposefully.
Selfed seeds from a feminized plant that hermied due to stress have a greater percentage of passing that to their progeny and repeating the cycle. Anyone can make feminized seeds by stressing and some might turn out fine and others won’t. Only way to know what you have is to grow them out.

Another possibility is op’s batch got pollinated from a neighbor growing or nearby industrial hemp cultivation...

Op look out for nanners and pollen sacs on your crop and if you find them you’ll at least know that your seeds are feminized.

Stressing your plant will not create feminized seeds unfortunately, rodelization is also not stress induced. You can grow a female much past its maturity and rarely it will produce XX chromosome sacs. Which have no Y chromosome, so if/when those sacs pollinate another female, feminized seeds are acquired.

Stick to the day job mate, we don't need guesses after fifty years breeding.

Interesting. So when a female pollinates a female it can make male seeds?
