Hermaphrodite or not ??

if i understood correctly he is not making s1s he is backcrossing and this is on the plant which is gonna be seeded (his pollen donor is not the hermie, right op?) so some seeds will be s1s and some seeds will be backcrosses without any way to distinguish which is which

They are all hermies, cannabis is what's called Self-Compatible.
Can you explain a little more. I understand all canibis has the genetics. It's just how easily it is expressed. I don't want a genetic line that easily expresses hermaphrodite. So if that particular HP is expressing hermaphrodite. I don't wanna breed with it. Or is it not showing hermaphrodite, but only a weird looking calyx ?

Yes correct the HP that is looking like it might be hermie. Was suppose to be the receiver of the back cross of the original BBXHP cross. Not sure if I am explaining this right

The BBXHP is to be the donor pollen to the HP that is looking like it might be hermie. Which could intern screw up the whole back x if the HP releases pollen as well

You are correct. Thanks again for the help. Still not sure if that HP is hermie or not. But probably is. The reason I am questioning it in the first place. If it looks like a duck and walks and quacks like a duck. It's probably a duck. Just never seen a duck quite like this one lol

it is a duck, those are definitely male organs perfectly smokeable but in your application would cause problems with the reliability of the seeds, at least for me.

your close, it's self-presevation......other wise know as rodelization....
Self-compatibility (SC) is the absence of genetic mechanisms which prevent self-fertilization
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a general name for several genetic mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization
rodelization is just a method used to initiate the self-fertilization

So do you think it might of been stress induced ? Why maybe it's only lower on the plant but now seems to be putting out calyx and pistols on top of the plant as the stressed is gone ?? Not sure what the stress was but who knows I guess !!
