Seeds

I had a successful outdoor grow last season but noticed seeds from each plant while trimming. Not many maybe 5 or 6 each one. The plants were grown from fem seeds and I'm sure no males were nearby. None of my females showed any herm traits either. I'm not concerned about the seeds since the buds turned out some great smoke. My questions are what can I expect from the seeds if I germinate them? Will they resemble the mother? Can a female plant produce seed without pollination?

No most likely you missed a nana which is common and why only a few seed.

Seeds be like mother and great to use for next grow :-)
Though kinggrow is probably right with the nanners theory. Pollen from canabis can travel for MILES AND MILES and it only takes 1 speck of pollen to produce seeds. Not saying this is what happened to yours but it is certainly what happened to mine outdoors last year. Beautiful feminized plants with great genetics not one sign of hermie and I still got a handful of seeds. That's just one of many reasons why I soly do indoors now.

They could resemble the mother if the mother "rodelized" some seeds. In that case they would most likely be feminized seeds. If you're lucky this is what happened. When some unpollinated female plants get "overripe" they'll grow a few male flowers and pollinate themselves.

Alternatively, your seeds could be a cross from plants beyond your grow and not "selfed".
The offspring could then resemble the mother, the father(s) or anything in the genetic background of either side of the parent stock or a mixture.

It's even possible the seeds could be from pollen coming from separate fathers. Or the pollen could have come from a female plant that rodelized or a "female" plant that hermied which isn't yours but was somewhere close enough to pollinate your plant. Mind boggling, eh?

So until you grow them out....the answer is "maybe".

Thanks for the replies. Very informative and interesting. I'm planning on growing some out next spring to see what I get.
