Im 3 weeks in on 10 true BB F2s, I only got 2 males and I really only wanted the males, they look nice, already showing color, One of them went hermi on me and I almost chucked it. I decided to take a look in DJ book and he said.
" Backward hermaphrodites are declared males that eventually sport femlae flowers. these are rare occurences , ussaly sterile but sometimes viable, that i found to be genetically valuable. Many resinous and desirable males exhibit this trait, which almost guarantees against unwanted hermaphroditism in subsequent generatins as it also increases the female to male ratio in its progeny."
So im kinda excided to chuck some pollen, They both have pollen dropping so Im pretty sure that means they are viable, since ive had sterile male before that just didnt drop any pollen. I plan on hitting Kens GDP, maybe the best BB female, and what ever else is around.
Does anyone have experience with hermi males?
If a male drops pollen does that mean its viable?
