"stable" ?
I dunno, I dont breed professionally. I just know that when I do this with the late flower finger pollen, selfed and on other strains too, I always get girls that rock it for years in the rooms. maybe I'm lucky dunno. I dont use the spray chems to get pollen, only the late flower fingers when I want them. so what s going on there?
Soma advertises rodelization to aquire pollen naturally. It is not consistently effective as the stamen at the late phase don't always have viable pollen or even pollen at all.
But if there is viable pollen and a female is pollinated with it you will get a good s-1 or f-1 feminized seed.
Just like you are saying is how I understand and have grown in my garden. My bagseed BLT I have going looks fantastic and just showed female. I never even found a banana. So it was a middle flower hidden one I guess to yield a good mature seed.
A plant can't seed itself at a late phase. It takes weeks for the seed to mature.
I've had too many problems with naner beans years ago. Remember that this stress method was where problems began in the first rounds of "feminizing" of seeds! I simply won't use them - period!
