They’re not different. It’s the risk that’s different. Rodelization is only successful if the mom can be hermed through stress. That mom will pass on the herm tendency. Chemical reversal works by preventing female expression. Moms might be stable, might not. Chemically-reversed females that are already stable will stay that way.

Rodelization is using late term nanners to produce female seeds. It’s still a stress reaction and the plant is a hermaphrodite imo.

whether the genetics hold unstable hormones relates the genetics. nothing else.
you’re the only one making sense of this. i agree. it would be riskier to use hermed plants as opposed to sts plants you have never seen herm. if it does herm sometimes and you sts, you just sts a plant that herms. genetics are genetics.

and if you sts a cutting that hasn’t yet hermed, it would be no different than just stressing to get stamen. the genetics are the same in either case.

Yeah I agree here and is what I’m saying. There are plants out there that don’t herm though. And that STS doesn’t produce viable pollen from.

i have one these fantastic plants…i flowered it at 106f once and did another with an auxillary light left on my oscilating fan (it was a bright blue). neither time did it herm. i also flowered it as a reveg and it didn’t herm…there’s more stress out there ,but i made a solid effort.
