To the best of my, admittedly limited, understanding, this product works through hormones. In breeding, when a grower wants to create femmenized seeds (that will produce ONLY female plants) they take healthy female plants and give them male hormones which forces them to hermie. This Reverse stuff does the opposite - it gives female hormones to the plant. This has the effect of suppressing the male traits and eliminating the male flowers. But I *think* the plant had to have been female originally - or at least a natural hermaphrodite.
I suspect...and this is only a guess...that if you applied Reverse to a male plant you'd get a hermie, but I don't think it would cause the plant to cross over and become completely female, because it wouldn't actually elminate the male genetics.
