Why do stressed hermies create herm seeds?

So far have tried 2 last season and 2 more this season (plus 2 that didn’t make it to sexing)
It wasn’t seedy like a breed run would be, just a couple seeds in most of the bigger buds.

The breed run I let go to maturity, those buds were 90% seed and almost nothing left to keep but fluff.
Are my genetics solid? Were the original genetics solid?

Original cross was a seed grown daddy and a dispensary clone female.
Have heard (rumors only) about the Lemon strain being finicky on stress induced problems.

Until I start getting males showing up (knock wood) will keep it in rotation as I like it better than some of the others and have many attempts to find a good one.

This was 2019 grow log at post where I put 2 in for root stock grafting that didn’t happen…
Those went full term to harvest and were the only ones (outside the original & clone) that have been done so far. But since last year went well I do have 2 about to go into flower this year also…
