Reversal Is Not A Hermie

[justicebzwieg]

Reversed and hermie get used as if they meant the same thing, and with feminized seeds the difference matters. A reversed plant is a stable female that a breeder deliberately pushed into making pollen with a chemical, whereas a hermie turned intersex by itself under stress. The definitions list at https://queenfeminizedseeds.com defines reversal as blocking the ethylene signal so a female forms male flowers, which says nothing bad about her genetics. Seed from a reversed, stress tested mother is fine, while seed from a spontaneous hermie is not.
