There are couple things here that have not been touched upon. I have noticed that the 1-3 seed thing is called,"Security Seeds." It's basically were the plant does not show any pollen or nanners and you just end up finding a seed or two in the couple ounces you grew. This happens to me in most of my grows but I also used to run a lot of different strains at one time but never have any males in my rooms. I even keep the males at an entirely different house 70 miles away. I think most of the seeds we have today are hermie genes, they just don't always express themselves. This might sound strange but the dankest stuff I have smoked, all had hermie tendencies.
The Security Seed thing is strange because the plant shows no hermie tendencies, you just end up with a couple seeds and they are deep within the calyx of the bud. This has to be a survival instinct of the plant.
The second thing I wanted to talk about is the Reverse Male. A Reverse Male is a male that has balls, shows complete male sex, then when you go to flip it, it starts throwing pistols and white hairs. They are basically the complete opposite of a regular hermie, female who shows balls later. They are usually sterile and I have only had one but I have heard they are great to breed with because the offspring is mostly female and the hermie tendency in the offspring is almost nil. Djshort has used reverse males in his breeding and they produce dank. I believe they are still a hermie but a valuable hermie because they cancel out of pollen and nanner problem and lets be honest, the reason we want seedless bud is because it sells and no one wants to smoke seeds. All in all, if I found another reverse male, I would keep it. They are rare but not completely impossible to find.
