anyone here ever come across aborted pistils in cannabis? i was listening to breeder steve on the potcast and he talked about the 1 time he saw it and how important this would be to outdoor cultivation given the abundence of hemp grown in some regions,
has anyone tried to nail down a way to force this phenomenae?

lastly has anyone ever grown out cross progeny seeds that they know are cross progeny for a fact to see see the results?

I get brown hairs when i touch a bud too much. Is that an aborted stigma?

And do you mean f1 seeds?

aborted pistils are when it appears you get no pistils on a female bud thus it's is sterile. supposedly there are pistil formation but it is aborted or mutated, now i am not sure if this would be the same visually. anyways it is very very rare apparently. breeder steve talked about it briefly on the last potcast

I have a few of those on at least one of my plants. Never looked for them. Or do you mean all the buds aborted?
the whole plant would be sterile. it hold implications of outdoor bud not being able to be pollinated if say they are in a hemp region.

That sounds so weird lol. It would have to be clone only I would assume. Unless it got reversed to produce female pollen. Wonder how that can be be recreated. Or how many phenos of that strain you would have to go thru

yea it would be more like you make a bacth of sterile seeds each season basically from the same method or parent depending on how or if they can replicate it
