Give it a half hour of light twice each night on the 12/12 cycle. To make sure you fertilize all your buds, use a paint brush too.

lmao

You cant get female seeds from a hermie mate. They'll probs all turn hermie, or be male.

Do the normal thing, grow the weed, make sure it female, and smoke it. Just buy femanized seeds if you want, but you can breed them with a hermie plant...

If you get a hermie, try it, but it wont work.

If you have a true female, and force it herme, then it only has two X chromosomes to give to offspring. Thus, all offspring will be female since it has no Y chromosome to give to them.

wrong only a true female or xx will not hermie. you must buy a speacial product to make a bud turn into a male then breed then you'll get all 100% female seeds exactly like the mother. (not easy to do and takes a long time)

Uhm... A female plant turns hermie, because it actually realises it hasn't been pollinated. There for, it tries to pollinate itself. The seeds will produce mostly female plants, and some will turn hermie.. The females will turn hermie pretty easily though..

Later, tahtah

what if it turns male,can i force it hermie and pick off the pollen sacks?

I HAD 6 FEMALE BLUEBERRY PLANTS. HAD BIG BEAUTIFUL BUDS. WEEK 6 OF FLOWER, THEY TURNED HERMIE, BRED THEMSELVES, AND I HAD TO KILL EM.

THEN FOUND OUT THAT THE CLONES I MADE OFF OF THEM, ALSO TURNED HERMIE,

I STILL HAVE 6 BABIES IN VEG STATE. IS THERE ANY CHANCE THEY WILL STAY FEMALE, OR WILL THEY KEEP GOING HERMIE?

I SEE NOW WHY THE GUY GAVE EM FREE WITH MY EBAY PURCHASE.

is this what you want to do? :
