does anyone know how to induce a plant to turn hermaprodite??? I have 12 different strains right know but they are all clone only nor-cal strains.
I would love to cross my blueberry afghani with my master kush but they are both cones please help me to create an afghani master berry super strain...

from what i've heard the best way to hermie a plant is by fucking with its light cycle. change from 12/12 to 24/0 every couple days and voila! instant hermie...kind of. but keep in mind that if you use hermie seeds the plants are much more likely to go hermie than if you used a male to pollinate a female.

good luck!

if they use female horemones to create ferm seeds insted of using light polution why not try to use make horemone to help create males

this is a great idea! you should try to make them true-breeding strains of their own. just grow the seeds out, pick out whatever male/female and don't use any seeds than come from the hermies. I'd imagine that eventually there shouldn't be an overly-large amount of hermies

Spray the plant with some gibberellic acid.

I was able to stress my Flo into popping out 10 Feminized seeds. I was experimenting with different temp cycles during opposing light cycles. I also added one week to my normal flowering cycle and the seeds developed nicely.

Best buy some seeds and get a male, then use him to pollinate, it's easiest solution for your problem.

Forcing hermies will need to be backcrossed with the original strain.
