Hey Crazy Chester, I really tried my best to make it straight forward in post 276, but I'll go through your Q's 1 by one.
"Something about this doesn't make sense to me - it prompts way more questions in me than it answers.".
I felt like that when I saw you running hoses across rooftops lol.
Ok 1st thing to remember here is this, plants don't feel a need, there's no conscious will at work, everything's simply chemistry. The log doesn't decide to burn, nor does it refuse, the chemical reaction simply takes place. Plants aren't making decisions as they have no brain mass.
Is there a genetic difference between a good girl and a naughty one? Yes, absolutely.
If it expresses female parts, it is female. The reverse cannot be said of a plant that expresses male parts. That may also be female.
How do we know that males aren't just woke females? It comes down to a combination of two things, pedigree and population demographics. If you have a line that regularly pops balls here and there, you're in for a tough time there. Getting a home sex testing kit would be a good start. But personally, I don't play with anything that has any relatives popping balls on females. It's like in the olden days where the old women in the village would arrange marriages. They would know the family history of each partner and wouldn't arrange marriages if one family had a history of insanity, or legs falling off or whatever. If you are playing with an active Y determination system, meaning there are true males in the population, there are no intersexed individuals, and a plant is showing solid male, then odds are, it's a male. But remember you're looking at parentage and not siblings.
A male will never express female flowers, reveg or not. A Y will always silence an X.
Males can be revegged, just like females can. It's rare you would ever want to, and it means you fucked something up, but yes, no issues. Remember it's not the flowers that reveg. Reveging new grow is the same principle as topping a plant, branch etc. The new growth comes from behind and to the sides of the flowers, not out of the flowers themselves.
A male plant has no idea, nor a care in the world about passing on it's genes. It doesn't know if it's pollinated a field or girls, or if it's alone in a wardrobe/tent/on a roof
somewhere.
The vast majority of people who are growing anything other than the crazy hazes, Thai's or other mad sativas, can be fairly sure that if the line isn't a known Hermie risk, that their males are true males. And by fairly sure, I mean 99.9% sure.
But if it's an S1 from a female, they can be 100% sure it's a girl with balls. Which may sound contradictory, but it's not.
And yeah, true males are as common as true females. It's only the X to autosome extreme sativas, and lines where something has gone a little wrong along the way, that we need to be concerned about. And then the reports of pigs flying of course, which is simply impossible, and must be called so.
