Ken's Grand Daddy Purp Indoor Grow Problem

I purchased 10 Grand Daddy Purple seeds and supposedly these were feminized. Grew one from seed in Fox Farm Happy Frog under a 5000k dual bulb CFL dome only to find that it's a male plant?? I'd like to hear some opinions on how this is possible. Bad breeder/bad genetics, error on my part/stressed out plant, etc. Got these from Attitude. I've attached some photos of the grow it's a damn shame, beautiful plant, best I've ever grown. *Edit* The picture of the GDP when it was small was taken a couple of weeks after the light had fallen on the plant and left there for a few hours by mistake. It caused that whole right side of the plant to produce small leaves and slowed all growth on that side, so it kind of resembled a deformed hunch back plant with really strange leaves, but made a great recovery a few weeks later.

I have read several stories that the feminized seeds from Ken's are hermie prone. If they are feminized seeds then you can look into DutchMaster Reverse and the saturator. I myself encountered a herm from an Extrema plant from Sannies seeds but I sprayed her with the Reverse and saturator and some of the pollen sacs melted away after first application.

I don't think Ken's GDP is feminized. I got some as well and they are regular. I believe even if they are feminized I think there is still a possibility it can product a male. Just less likely.

What is "Reverse" and more so what does it claim to do? Can you ellaborate more about this? Would it be possible to use that on this plant and it later produce bud?

The seeds are feminized, but aren't guaranteed female seeds.
Too much stress will make them sex as male, or hermie.

Then perhaps when the dome fell on the plant when it was younger it altered the plants sex early on? Is that possible? If that's the case then the gold masters reverse wouldn't help would it? Can you fix stress induced herm with reverse or does it only apply to genetic herms?

It's definately possible. Weeks 3-4 are really important to have them stress free because they are usually getting ready to show sex. Does your plant have any pistils? If, not it's a male, and you can't change that.

I haven't started flowering out the plant it has lived under 24 hours of light it's whole life. I'd say it's 10-12 weeks old I was growing it up to be a mother and take clones from it.

Hey guys just to clear things up. None of Ken's genetic's are feminized. You can grab multiple pheno's out of a pack or two.

Veg under 18/6 light.

I'm also growing a couple autos in the same space so I don't use a timer just easier for me.
