Shouldn't they all be female?

[Noobian]

So I had a B.S. 2.2 hermie on me a few months back producing 6 nice looking seeds. I planted two of them and now one of the plants is showing ball sacks?! I was under the assumption that if a female plant pollinates itself the seeds can only be female? How is it possible for a XX plant to make XY seeds, does anyone know?

hermis begat hermis.

 

[Hammerhead]

nope if the hermie trait is there you have a good chance of getting another hermie

Ok a hermie I could see that, but it's not making pistils, just putting out all balls like it's a boy to begin with. That's the weird part

Edit:

And now that I think about it, that particular plant I had cloned and the original was the one that hermied, the clone of that one, when flowered never made a banana. I have no idea why she hermied that first time there weren't any light leaks or anything she just started making a couple bananas and I plucked em and she finished out fine. The clone never hermied, and now the seeds I'm growing out from the original plant are female and what looks to be a full on male. I dunno

Is it flowering or autoflowering in veg?
Did you see the Blue Satellite sacs or just find the beans?
Are you positive the beans were the result of a self pollination?
Mystery beans bring many questions.
It could also just be a boy.
Plants are like people in there sexuality.
Some are heterosexual, some would last about three days at sea without changing teams.

-I went straight to 12/12 from seed with these two, so no real veg time
-I found about three or four nanners on the plant and after I cut it down is when I found the beans inside of there.
-99.999% sure they came from self pollination, I only grow for personal smoke so I don't keep any males once they make themselves known.

take that male and hit the origanal female with the pollen and his sisters also. you can get male plants from herm seeds, as a rule not many, but it is possible

Ok thanks Joesy I had never known it was possible but I guess in Nature anything is a possibility. Unfortunately I won't be able to make seeds from him because I pulled him up and filled his spot in the cab with a known female.

Three days at sea? Yuk,yuk. Good one. I like to think I personally would last longer before switching sides but I know I'd be yankin' like a Monkey in a Mango tree.

Not to hijack, but I read that if you take the pollen from a herm and pollinate a "straight" female with it, you make female seeds (all x chomosomes). Is that true?

I would think you would just get seeds with possibly hermie traits, could be wrong tho

A little caveat to that all xx chromosome thing. You have to force/stress hermi the female (lights on 24 a couple times during flower) to avoid that natural hermi tendancy.
