Why do some buds have seeds for no apparent reason?

[eatyourhartout]

I started growing with seeds I found in good weed and those plants were all female. They grew buds that weren't nearly as good as the original buds. But that could definitely be all my mistakes as a beginner grower.

Then after curing I realized those buds also had just a few seeds.

GWE says seeds are from pollination, but there were no male plants around and no herms. I checked all the buds closely. They did go through stress.

What causes just a few seeds to grow in weed?

Also, what kind of weed will come out of these 2nd generation seeds? If they grow buds with seeds it seems like you could keep growing forever like that.

I'm going to invest in better seeds for my next grow anyway, but I was thinking about planting one of these seeds to see what happens.

When a feminized seed produces a cola that makes seeds without pollination from a male plant that is self-pollination from hermaphroditism. Commonly referred to as a hermie. Hermies happen from environmental stress factors, like light extremes, high differences btwn lights on and lights off temps, high stress training, etc. You can grow the hermied seed and it will be a female but genetically it would be a gamble to hermie and how it grows would be up to the abilities of the grower.

Also { kinda note to self } if you do touch or remove a male plant WASH HANDS b-4 touching females. Found this out the hard way

Seed sellers try to sell F1 hybrid seeds. The F1 plants often display superior characteristics compared to their parents.
However, the seeds from F1 plants, the F2 generation, usually lose the desirable traits of their F1 parent(s).
