It is not possible to get a male plant from s1 seeds. You can get a female with some hermi male flowers but you can not get a full blown male.
If an s1 seed plant ended up having all male flowers it would still be a hermaphrodite and not a true male. There would be no male genes.
You have a hermaphrodite female that is masquerading as a male. IMHO I would stay away from that plant as a pollen donor.
Dioecious refers to a plant population having separate male and female plants. That is, no individual plant of the population produces both microgametophytes (pollen) and megagametophytes (ovules); individual plants are either male or female.[5] From Greek for "two households". [Individual plants are not called dioecious; they are either gynoecious (female plants) or androecious (male plants).]
Androecious, plants producing male flowers only, produce pollen but no seeds, the male plants of a dioecious population.
Gynoecious, plants producing female flowers only, produces seeds but no pollen, the female of a dioecious population. In some plant populations, all individuals are gynoecious with non sexual reproduction used to produce the next generation.
Subdioecious, a tendency in some dioecious populations to produce individuals that are not clearly male or female. The population produces normally male or female plants but some may be monoecious, hermaphroditic, or monoecious/hermaphroditic, with plants having perfect flowers, both male and female imperfect flowers, or some combination thereof, such as female and perfect flowers. Flowers may be in some state between purely male and female, with female flowers retaining non-functional male organs or vice versa. The condition is thought to represent a transition between hermaphroditism and dioecy.[6][7]
Gynomonoecious has both hermaphrodite and female structures.
Andromonoecious has both hermaphrodite and male structures.
Subandroecious has mostly male flowers, with a few female or hermaphrodite flowers.
Subgynoecious has mostly female flowers, with a few male or hermaphrodite flowers.
no such thing as a true male or true female, and there not herms either, as a herm is both sexes on one flower which i dont believe happens in cannabis.
CBF
a plant within a S1 population which appears to be a male, is actually a female expressing strong male traits/tendencies. very much like a women with a mustache, or heavy hair all over the body.
Seriously though, it's impossible to get a true male from S1 pollen because a male has the XY chromosome where as females have XX, selfing females can't get that invaluable Y chromosome.

You are correct CBF, imo, in spite of your delivery my brother
Many are hung up on the X Y sex determination system, but it simply doesn't pan out 100%. Further, the leftover % is where things get beyond simply memorizing what they've read for the test on friday. Do not be so sure folks, that you wouldn't breed with this or that. If you want to sway the population towards pistillate (including but not limited to the lessening/absence of mostly female but intersexed individuals), then the ladyboy hairless (figure of speech) donor makes perfect sense. The theory was put forth by a gutsy (imo) DJ Short a decade ago, scoffed at by most and still apparently, but the jury is definitely still out on this one. Ignore the masses gut feelings, makes about as much sense as the publics overwhelming fear of reversals in the first place,,, carry on brother. -Tom
