Feminized bagseeds?

Hi guys, I'm Seagul, novice guerrilla grower from 44° N : )

I would like your opinion about this:

last year I made my first "casual" outdoor grow from bagseeds, late in the season, and successfully harvested 3 very little ladies, no males showed up.


This year I went for medium/big trees, I planted again 4 seeds from the same ganja of last year. All females.


I know, 7 females out of 7 seeds could just be luck, BUT...

I know for sure this ganja I usually buy it's made indoor hydroponically, with clones from a mother.

My guess is these seeds (you can find very few of them in some buds) are the result of the stress some clones had (maybe some light passing through in the night), these clones made a few male flower and impollinated.

I could be wrong, but isn't this a way to produce feminized seeds? (not the purpose of the grower, but still)

Is there a risk my plants will show a male flowers (hermaphrodites)? Or am I reasonably safe to get pure sensimilla?

My plants are still out there and I don't see any male flower, but this year the canopy is pretty big so I could have miss some.

What you think? If I'm right, next year I will plant lots of these bagseeds. Sexing on a big crop is not something I wanna do.

when a female plant pollinates itself the resulting seeds are usually female.
good luck with your crop!
 
Yea brother Steve. ...I had 10... 501 kush by raredankness.at the end of harvest 1 of my ladies gave me 18 seeds, just 1 of my plants.well I planted all 18 and they all were girls. Not sure what happen !!, but I think it was nutrients stress, the only strain to do so.

yep ... I had a non-descript variety of Sativa which I selected over the years into a fine, heavy producing plant.
I did so by taking pollen from "hermis" of the variety and pollinating females with it. eventually I got 80% female from any number of seeds ... which is not a bad ratio for a grower who's happy to keep a close eye on his plants and remove the males/hermis when they show.
