Ed's wrong because his answer is too general, and because outcomes can't be predicted from the information given.

And this statement is just plain silly: "The pollen had only female genetic information and all the plants from that pollen whether self-crossed or crossed to another female, will produce only female plants. "

Statements of that nature demonstrate a very naive understanding of the genetic basis of sexual expression as it occurs in the vast majority of dioecious species.

Generally speaking, 100% offspring of a stress-induced hermaprhodite x non-hermaprhodite cross can be expected to exhibit hermaprhoditism in response to the same stress.
