you know how you can make fem beans...can you make male beans the same way?

If you mean male only seed , unfortunately not.

I thought DNA just released male beans for breeding?

Without a specific and rare plant , nobody else can.

If its true.

Certainly not the same mechanism for making femmed seed , which anyone can do.

since making a female throw nanners = fem seeds. wouldn't making a male throw pistils = maled seed? i was brainstorming ways to preserve strains in case of a catastrophe. need a way to capture all or most of the gene expression in one seed.

if you have one fem bean and one male bean then you can make Fx's and reproduce your original work one day?

This thread details this , normal m/f ratio.

In theory, seems that it would be possible to get a male to develop female parts if treated with silver. I had a male that I put into flower then varied the light cycle and it got a few pistols. so it seems that it would be possible to self pollinate. however, if it can be done--what would the offspring be? Since the parent is male (XY) and bread back to itself, seems like 1/4 would be XY, 1/4 would be YX--both would be genetically male. 1/4 would be XX (female), and the other 1/4 would be YY, if that is possible. Anyone ever try this?

I haven't yet because I can't get my hands on some ethephon and the alleged male hermie I found turned out to be sterile ;( . There got to be some PGR or alike which does the same... please!

From what I've found so far, it is entirely possible, not just in theory. It doesn't matter if one would take a male hermie or an ethephon (instead of silver, which only turns sex in females) treated male. Look up these posts on reversing males . The problem with cannabis hermaphrodites is, that they exist in all 'forms and shapes'; what looks like a male 'throwing some pistils' might actually be a female with mainly male flowers.
For the rest, I'm not going to repeat myself because the link provided by TheRealHash suffices (gotta scroll down a bit though).

seems very possible, though I thought that the viability of the seed may be iffy. from an evolutionary standpoint, if a male self pollinates--the offspring are 3/4 male or super male (50% XY and the remaining 25% YY), with the other 25% being genetic females.

So if a male selfs and produces viable seed in the wild, the 25% female offspring would be surrounded by males on 3 out of 4 sides (on average)--so it would greatly increase the likelihood of those females being pollinated by one of the males (or supermales) and further propagate the species.
