Seeds from a hermie? Viable?

So I had a female grow a few balls at the end of the grow and it produced a handful of seeds on itself and on another plant of a different variety. What can I expect from those seeds?

Will they be viable and pop, and if they do pop, what then? I'm curious, but not curious enough to waste time and effort on them if nothing good will come from them.

The plant that went hermie, was a Mandala Sadhu, probably from a light leak, and I got some seeds from that plant, and also a few seeds from a Mandala Hashberry nearby. The Sadhu had hundreds of little immature seeds when I chopped it but a few looked like they were big and mature enough that I kept them.

There were only a couple dozen seeds on the Hashberry and half of those looked big enough and mature enough since I chopped the Hashberry later than the Sadhu.

A Hashberry Sadhu cross sounds pretty good to me if that is what will happen, but I'm clueless.

So how about it all you genius breeders out there, teach me something please.

I am also clueless, but I think that the seeds may show the same hermie traits. If it was a light leak, you may be lucky and they'll be fine.
Maybe plant them as a supplementary crop that you could sacrifice if they suck, that way you won't waste a whole grow.
Good luck.

All of the seeds created should turn out female. 99.9% of them. The seeds from the sadhu will be S1 's and the hash berry will be an F1 hybrid! You will run into a few showing hermie issues just like the sadhu. And some will not. All of them could hermie and you could get a male. You never know till you grow them out. A good thing to do to test them is just don't let them grow to full size keep them in a 1 gallon container for flowering so if you need to trash one you won't be wasting many resources.

expect fems and herms for the most part...yeehaw..I don't throw away seeds I have had immature looking ones sprout many times..i used to keep a small wormbin just for tossing seeds in..i think the enzymes and such helped..
