Yes there is, like stressing the shit out of it.
Plants are a living thing.
If they start to feel as though that they might die, they'll produce seed.
wht are some good ways to stressing it without killing the plant?and if a hermie naturally and if i clone it would it be a female or a herm?

The best way to stress a plant is temperature.
If the temperature drops below 60, and stays that way for awhile that would definitely stress a plant to go herm.
Also turning the lights on when the lights should be off, even if it's only for a few minutes.

does a female that goes hermie produce femanized seeds????
do you mean does a FEMINIZED female, once stressed and turned Hermie.. will THAT produced feminized seeds?


That is a good question and I hope with my clarification it can get answered.

okay first of all you need to have a for sure female. This can only be done by flowering it and finding out unless you had a clone of a known female. Next step is to get the FEMALE not hermaphrodite to produce balls because its environment is so hostile that it needs to self reproduce to have a shot of continuing its species. I have heard by turning the lights on for an hour each night in the middle of the dark period (12/12) until they grow pollen sacks. (or you could use chemicals its on here somewhere)And yes the seeds from a female pollen sack will be all female because their was never any male giving the x or y chromosome. Hope that clears it up for you.

those methods are good,but lower the temps to 60,and flower the plant 2 weeks beyond its harvest point,at that point the "banana sacs"appear and pollenate the plant,if left intact,creating,an 80% ratio of female seedsthat process is repeated with the best offspring for multiple generations to completely feminise the seeds.

I'd like to hear more on this subject. Correct me if I am wrong, but the only way to manage a perpetual garden with autoflowering genetics is to have a shitload of seeds. DNA produces a femenized strain called 60 Day Wonder. It's William's Wonder x Ruderalis (autoflower gene). They say it finishes in 60 days from seed in any light cycle and can't be cloned. Price is like $80 for 6 seeds. If you got one of these girls to herm and seed are they stablized? More stablized? Or do you actually have to breed the original hosts together? I would love to perpetuate from seed and not have to manage mothers and clones but I can't bring myself to trade-off poundage for seedage. I need more info on this, namely losses in potency/stability.
