Rare, not very rare, depends on a lot of things. Choose some easy strains, work with the best and youll get what your after. Few seeds no big deal, bad herms warrant removal but not if thats all you got.
It's more logical to me that a herm would produce males but I'm at 6 weeks of flower and not a one, which is welcome seeing the last time a herm stopped everything. I almost just threw it away but I jammed it in a paper bag for a year.
I can semi-confidently say that pollen does not remain viable for more than 10 months.

ALL types of "selfing" or "reversing" does NOT have ANY guarantee of 100% female seeds!
Even chemical induced reversal does not! You will always have around a 1:3000 male ratio......
A "true" bisexual (the term used in all text books) plant will have both Male and Female sex organs. This must be "BALLS" for the male. Not "Banana's" (stamen) coming from a few spots on a bud...True herms are not as rare as I would like them to be...Yet, in all my years. I have not had a "true" herm. Of course I tend avoid known problem strains.
U are the one that doesn't make sense at all, not always but mostly hermi pollen will make female seeds since the pollen only contains female chromosome. Thats why respetable breeders don't even like to do femenized seeds and only do regular beans because they don't like to fuck up there names with hermi traits in there strains .,But anyway im not in the mood to start a dick measuring contest., Or even better u know what u are absolutely right and I'm wrong and don't know what im talking about. Happy bruh? Now let's go on with our lives..
Not exactly so....Chemically reversed plants to not carry on any added herm trait. The way S1's are produced today - by quality breeders produce's no "bad" genetic expressions in the seed.
Now seeds produced by the old stress method, can and DO!
Here's something to chew on....Those Banana's that are thrown late. Are generally weak and even mostly non viable as far as pollen goes. Think like this. Things like this can be seen as weak genetic material in nature.....Do you want to use "weak" genetic material in any breeding program?
