Male Hermaphrodite?

First and foremost I would like to state that I have personally witnessed on many occasions both versions of hermaphrodites:
1) What is referred to as a "true" hermaphrodite which in my experiences were usally around 50/50 male/female with the male/female organs never growing together.
2) The type most everybody has seen at one time or another consisting of mostly female with a few nanners here and there MIXED in.

Last night I was looking over a male of one of my own strains and low and behold I spot 2 sets of pistils.
The left side in the 2 close up pics seem to have 3 pistils too.
I'll have to get better pics tomorrow, I got shit for taking pics here, a buddy of mine stopped in earlier and took these for me.
I'm getting another buddy to come over tomorrow with his portable microscope.
Anyways, this seems to be the best forum to post this as I'm sure you breeders have seen more male plants versus your average hobbyist.
I've been cutting nuts off this fucker a couple weeks now and no sign of any pistils anywhere else YET.
What ya all think?

I have a male that did the same ended up being straight male. But it threw me for a loop for minute, I was getting mixed signals. It happens, I watched a video with fletch from Archive. He said only about 10% of males are true males, and that he likes to reverse males because it will tell you for sure. It also reveals terpene profiles and other traits the male will pass on.

Probably shouldn’t use those males as they may possibly pass that trait onto the beans.

The problem is the overbreeding of these genetics with out the introduction of new genetics. Everyone is depleting the genepool that has already been narrowed down.

Everyone is breeding assbackwards.

Hope the Best. Much Love
