Now for your thought experiment, if you pollinated those pistils you would be making S1 seeds. These S1s would be both male and female. And, unfortunately, also have the potential for intersex since both “parents” have that trait.
That’s incorrect an s1 is always gonna be the gender of the selfed plant, even if its showing intersex traits its either gonna have the y chromosome or not as a female plant showing male traits or a male showing female traits and resulting seeds would either be feminized or malenized with a strong possibility of showing intersex traits in the offspring
I suppose that would be accurate if it was in fact a male and had the y chromosome which I guess would lead me to my next question of what would yy end up being?
Depends on what showed first, another thing to remember even with studies on herm Thai population it’s been noted that the subsequent generation does not have a increased herm rates. Just saying.
Another thing is if male showed first that is what most seasoned breeders look for in a male donor. They usually have less chance of herm rate (per DJ shorts teachings, ethos also uses this approach, and a few others I chose not to mention)
