Hi all, as some of you may have noticed..Tom Hill has been posting again. WHat he said about males in fem lines was interesting, and reassuring to me.. it seems that it is possible to get 'males' from fem crosses:

Finally had another male pop up in some of our feminized autos we're running for winter seed production and had a chance to use the youPCR screen. I know that both parents were true females and made the seed myself. Phenotypically, the plant was 100% male--not a single female hair present (they often show up on the tips of pollen sacks on hermaphrodites). The genomic screen came back negative for a Y chromosome. I don't have time or space at the moment to let it flower and pollinate other known females for progeny testing, but that's what needs to be done to move us all forward on this.
Haha like Mussolini from the balcony son of a bing son of a boom guessing correctly on the first try - told you guys.
