This is where your wrong. What happens if a normal GMO Male pollen pollinates your cucumber buds. You now have hybrid seeds running around. But thats not even my point. With plants like animals you have mutations, so its actually very common for a male plant to put off female flowers and vice versa. So even though you have a seedless type all female plant if you grow enough of them you will have an abnomality and one will put off a male flower. Those seeds will be 99% female with no pollen but its offspring will now be 100 time more likely to carry the hermaphrodite gene.Seedless cucumbers don't interbreed with wild plants. This is a core problem with these crops.
