I'm not sure which one of these leads to the best end product, but I think since most fems are made with hermie pollen (one way or the other) that most of them will have the hermaphrodite trait in the genetics.
Thanks for the info, haven't really done any research into the Fem stuff, I thought they were pretty stable, consistent. I thought wrong.

Haha, the fem seed biz...what a racket. "No guarantee it'll be a female,... but it won't be a male"!

I was thinkin' on my next order a bunch of fem "singles" would be a great way to diversify the genetics, affordably. <shrug> First, think I'll see what the four beans I have now do. :wtf:
