Hermi's Showing Balls on First Two Nodes: Normal or Specific Trait?

Some of the Lebanese crossed plants are straight males. Ok, a lot of them are males. lol Some of them show balls on the first 2 nodes, and then grow as female until late in flower. At this point you get late flower nanners and pollen showing up. Last, because it's the best so far, are the true females which do not hermie and are rather stable.

Is this 'balls on the first few nodes' of the hermi plants a regular thing with all cannabis, or is this a specific trait shared by Lebanese and some other strains? I have to say it is rather handy to have happen, since it makes true female selection a lot easier/sooner. :D

I've seen that happen. It is probably not uncommon with Landraces. I had a Durban 70s that was female but the first set of flowers were male (but, these male pollen flowers also had a set of pistils. This seems like a rare thing, as I've never heard of male flowers which also contain pistils).
