like I aid Zandor about not being a plant biologist.this is NEW info I've come across.its about crossing strains with hermies and truebreeding hermies,or inbreeding hermies;if there can be such a thing.and like elcheapo said about hermie seeds producing females with very few males,I've only had one hermie seed experience.truebred,not crossbred.and I've still got those seeds after several years and they've consistently produced feminized truebreeding females 100%,no hermies.so all's I'm saying is I think its got to do with the twist of fate as to where the hermied pollen falls as to what you end up with.happy growin','Buz
